finland and sweden were affiliated with nato as long as nato exists what finland expected from formal nato membership s more money - instead they are in major economic depression with 10% unemployment since severing economic ties with russia and now required to pay 5% of gdp to military expenses which will make zimbabwe much better place to live than finland sweden basically taken by violent african migrants so they are not relevant at all, there was sweden nazi on this board, disappeared somewhere, probably was forcefully married to some somali gang so major win for putin in north against nato as finland is so weak, almost collapsing and when ukraine capitulates it's gonna be major disaster for nato which it will never recover from
Finland and Sweden were not members of NATO until Putin stupidly invaded Ukraine.5% of gdp to military expenses from Finland and Sweden makes NATO stronger. Strategically Finland is better for NATO than Ukraine because its right next to St Petersberg and Russia's largest nuclear submarine base.
is it you who propose major nato invasion to ukraine where hundreds of thousands nato service members will be killed in first days which will result in nato collapse and likely all european civilization? strategically finland doesn't mean a thing as attacking russia by nato from finland or not from finland directly will make nato uninhabitable either way if russia decides to attack finland because finland used to launch"ukrainian" drones and gives firm evidences of those launches - nobody will defend finland and nato collapses win-win for russia
NATO has not invaded Russia. Strategically Finland is very valuable to NATO being right next to Russias largest nuclear submarine base and Russias 2nd largest city
closest country to russian submarine base is norway which was nato member since nato was created finland or nato doesn't gain anything from finland membership just makes finland economic collapse from likely to assured
Finland is closer to Russia than Norway is.Finland was a neutral buffer between Russia and NATO,now NATO can attack St Petersberg and Murmansk directly from Finland if they need to.
if nato ever attacks russia directly nato will stop existing in the next 30 minutes including the USA finland is irrelevant
Finland is on Russia's border.Russia's reasoning for war with Ukraine was they didn't want NATO on their borders If NATO launched a full scale attack on Russia Russia will stop existing in the 30 minutes.
russia reasoning for war with ukraine uis ukraine is russia temporarily taken by nazis russia can't allow nato in russia russia doesn't care about finland
