@hj what a year as finland might be next in line for Russian forces

@hj similar for Soviet-Ukrainian war and yet here we are

@kreyren just hoping that finland is less lucrative for russia - they already have access to baltic sea, finland's only relevant neighbor is sweden (norway doesn't really count since its border is waaaaaay up north and russia borders with it there too). We don't have many resources either.

That being said, he's batshit insane and unpredictable.

@hj I think that it's beyond obvious that all he cares about is to restore and expand the former russian empire so finland is logically next in line..

If i were you then i would go annoy politicians to join NATO which would protect sweden as well to some extent

@kreyren @hj >russia warns us about military retaliation if we get any closer to NATO
>that's why we should announce that we're joining NATO
I fail to understand how so many people manage to execute this particular sequence of mental gymnastics.
Follow

@sampo @hj He's saying that bcs he knows that NATO countries are non-invadable.

also trusting putin is what gets you in shit mcron learned that lesson the hard way

@kreyren @hj joining NATO is not an overnight process, he would have more than enough time to retaliate between the announcement and us actually being protected. I oppose the idea strongly. we've survived by planning our foreign policy carefully in the past, and we'll do it again.
@sampo @kreyren >joining NATO is not an overnight process

meanwhile NATO officials brag around how it is an overnight process

Don't get me wrong, i hate America/NATO too, i just hate russia more

@hj @kreyren and don't you get me wrong, the main force driving me into this position is my hatred for russia

@sampo @hj It's not fault of russian citizens.. this is putin's war

even the captured prisoners of war by ukrainians said that this was supposed to be a training and that they would be killed/imprisoned if they disobeyed orders

@hj @sampo that wouldn't be a bad military decision as ppl in st. petersburg are protesting and this way it would turn into a movement to throw out putin

@hj
>Don't get me wrong I don't like NATO/USA

>That's why I'll put my entire foreign policy in the hands of NATO

:akko_derp:
@sampo @kreyren

@sampo @hj His economy is in shit.. that ain't enough time for him to take action.. it will be in a scenario where he can recover from the sanctions and re-finance the war efforts.

So the more countries join NATO the better atm

@kreyren @sampo >So the more countries join NATO the better atm

i think it's important for countries to stay neutral for as long possible, if entire world gets ultra-polarized it will be cold war 2 quantum boogaloo except hot this time

@hj @sampo Georgia was neutral in terms of russia and nato and look how it ended up for them.

We are already in a cold war it never ended just stalled

@kreyren @sampo i know, i don't want this cold war to get hot, naturally. Wars only benefit the higher ups, common folk just suffer.
@hj
>I think it's important to stay neutral for as long as possible

>Via joining a organizations openly militaristic and whose assests aren't on Eastern Europe :blobderpyhappy:
@sampo @kreyren

@Elfie @sampo @hj ye u r right it seems that either Finland/Sweden can join nato pretty much immediately if they request it so using it as a deterrent seems as better politics

@kreyren @sampo @hj
Using it as a deterrent is also a good tactic, I just cannot for the life of me understand why would anyone leave their foreign policy in the hands of the absolute retards in the Bundestag or Washington, it's tantamount to suicide almost
@Elfie @sampo @kreyren @hj Ukraine was doing war games with NATO troops before this shitshiw happened lmao. NATO has no remit or purpose since the fall of the soviet union besides antagonising russia and keep Europe dependent on the US.
@Telvannichad
Not only is NATO a useless organisation detrimental to any real peacekeeping effort but they also keep dropping US military bases everywhere!

The same people who have been at war for more than 20 years, kidnapping, torturing and murdering millions of people for the keks, they didn't even control the territory, they didn't even gain anything at all from all the misery

Nobody would give a shit if any other minor country deployed it's forces
