    St. Petersburg would be a good place to put Finland’s new NATO base.

    Those guys sure are pressing up their lower lips. They look like they have a lot of resolve.

      That’s the face Fins make when they focus on what you are saying or are visualizing a solution.

      This is probably from Q&A session and reporter is asking them a unexpected question.

    These people, who make it their life goal to seek, protect and to expand power are so strange to me. Like, what’s the endgame here? Looking super manly and determined but if you shrink it down, it’s still children fighting over molds in the sandbox.

      I assume you refer to Putin. But you come of ambiguously for those who don’t realize Finland isn’t an aggressor. Really more of a FAFO type county. Don’t fuck with the Finns.

        And we have known for the last 100 years who will be the one to fuck around - we have prepared for exactly that.

        Just a small tidbit: every single bridge in Finland has been specifically rigged for easy placement of explosives to blow it up. And we practice doing it during our mandatory military service.

          Do you actually blow up test bridges or do you just practice placing the explosives?

            Just practice, we’re not Norway, we can’t afford to actually blow them up 😀

    Then Russia needs to respond the same way the US did when they suspected Soviet weapons in Cuba.

      Off they go out to sea so, Finland has every right to place whatever they want within their country. Finland was also not involved in the Cuban Missile Crisis.

      It was a crisis specifically because of the nukes and one that came to an amicable agreeemnt benefitting both sides.

      Putin is an idiot who is responsible for the growth of NATO.

        No don’t you see, putin knew the Nordics were going to join NATO and that’s why he invaded Ukraine! 4d chess! Now he has proof and was right to invade!

        /s just in case.

      You’re right they should, and that was (eventually) pulling out the missiles they put in Turkey first which lead the USSR to respond in kind putting missiles in Cuba. So in this analogy that would be Russia GTFO of Ukraine.
