Also this war just revealed a lot of truth about the hypocrisy of many countries they all pretend to side with justice or want justice and yet they join an alliance which has done the same crimes committed by the nation they try to escape and suddenly they forget about the crimes committed by one and join them and still preach about justice.

[@5l1g0n7]

As a Finn, I will give my own perspective on Russia threat. During the Continuation War, Russian partisans carried out dozens of attacks on villages in the Finnish border region, the only purpose was the destruction of civilians. More than 200 civilians were killed in these attacks, and in the worst individual attacks, villages of 20-30 inhabitants were destroyed along with their inhabitants. Women were raped, of course, and even children were not left alive, the youngest victims were babies a few months old. In the worst cases, victims were locked in their houses and burned there alive, or tortured slowly to death. AND THESE WAR CRIMES WERE NOT RANDOM, BUT THE SYSTEMATIC DESTRUCTION OF THE CIVILIAN POPULATION, WHICH WAS ORDERED DIRECTLY FROM THE TOP COMMAND OF THE RED ARMY. The partisans on the Finnish front were "elite soldiers" who had received hard training, somewhat in the same way as the SS troops of Nazi Germany, and they had been taught to destroy all "fascist Finns" including civilians. After all, Finland got away hell of a lot, because our defense held up. But millions of people in Eastern European countries were not so lucky when the Red Army soldiers arrived there to kill, rape and destroy. In Germany, rape was done in revenge, but also the inhabitants of Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic countries and other countries ""liberated"" by the Russians were terrorized, killed and raped without mercy. Millions of people, entire families and villages were killed, tortured or taken to Siberia if they were found to be "fascists" or otherwise enemies of the Soviet Union/Russia. 20,000 Polish prisoners of war were killed in the Katyn massacre alone. In the East Karelia genocide of the 1930s, up to 30,000 Finns and Karelians who immigrated to the Soviet Union and were considered "enemies of the Soviet people" were killed. When we are talking about the war in Ukraine now, I think it would be right time to wake up and look at history in the right light. Far too many people seem to have the naive idea that only "Putin" or "the current Russian goverment" has somehow messed up. But the truth is that it is about at least decades, if not centuries, old Russian culture and national character, which that nation is now just carrying out just like before. A surprising number of people in 2023 also seem to think that the Soviet Union during the Second World War was still somehow "on the right side of history" and "liberated Europe from the Nazis", and that, for example, Finland's military actions in the follow-up war against the Soviet Union would not have been justified. There must be an end to this sick conception of history. In fact, the Russians of the 1940s were exactly the same occupying bastard and imperialist terrorist state as Russia currently invading Ukraine. Russia is the enemy of Finland and Europe. It is the enemy now, it was the enemy in 1939-1944, and it was just as much the enemy during the Cold War, or in 2010, when our president Tarja Halonen shook Putin's hand. This is why Finland joined NATO. Russia can only blame itself.

As an Eastern European I agree: the USSR didn't "liberate" this part of the world. It simply removed the Nazi occupation just to replace them as occupiers.

The comment by young Aleksandr that Finland has nothing to fear from Russia because they were a former territory and were friendly was the same thing many Ukrainians were saying about Russia when asked about the impending invasion just before Russia's Special Operation started. The reality is Finland and Sweden never saw the need to join NATO before but the actions of Russia in Ukraine have shown them what happens when you have no alliance to ensure military aid in the event of invasion. For them it is simply a way to buy some insurance against becoming a battlefield for more Russian designs on old imperial territory.

[@FrOsTIIDeAtH]

The tables turned because Russian politicians had "expectations" of Ukraine to stay in it's "sphere of influence" and when Maidan began this quickly changed and the approach of Kremlin changed as a result. Finland is already out of Russian sphere of influence and all-in into cooperation with EU, not sure how it's a valid comparison.

[@MrMedalice]

Finland dont need NATO because Norway is in NATO, if Terrorist State of ruZZia would attack Finland, NATO forces would automaticly be on Finnish border, nobody general would let ruZZian Terrorist try reach closer to Norway border, its long way to USA.

[@mountainman8775]

Aleksandr hadn’t thought this through with logic.

[@socket_error1000]

@@FrOsTIIDeAtH I am talking about the people's expectations of their relationship with the Russia and its people. Ukrainians interviewed in the days leading up to the "SO" - war said repeatedly they could not believe Russia would invade them, despite the Crimea issue and ongoing Donbas dispute. Often the statement used was that they were like brothers and there was no need for Russia to invade a brother. Even Zelensky was telling the media he didn't believe the western intelligence reports of an impending invasion and that the reports were only hurting the economy. When it happened most Ukrainians were shocked. Prior to this the Ukrainian people would likely not have concerned themselves with being part of NATO because they didn't see Russia as a direct threat. Would Ukraine have joined the EU or one of the other economic partnerships in Europe? Maybe, it would help them modernize and root out corruption. These are a lot different than NATO. As soon as Putin invaded and the Ukrainian people saw their sovereignty threatened they realized the need for something like NATO when there was a neighbor with a strong military and an expansionist leadership nearby. Finns and Swedes see the same thing. They were content to sit back and say Russia will never invade us because there is no reason for it to do so. Now they have to consider what has happened to Ukraine and make sure that Russia will pay a high price for any attempt to invade them.

[@FrOsTIIDeAtH]

@@socket_error1000 it would make sense to make action when there are at least some signs of moves that Russia has an interest in Finland or Sweden. So far there is none and even if Russia would make the next moves Finland is 100% not under the potential threat. You would need years to lay the foundation for threats to appear and that's when it would make sense to go for NATO membership. As for "they could never believe" well most people in Russia as well didn't believe, but believing is one thing, and the ongoing escalation towards Ukraine throughout the year (which was repeated after 2021 similar military build-up). You should focus on such signs, and not on emotional feedback because it will always betray you.

Every apartment building is even required by law to carry iodine capsules in these shelters. The Finnish freeway bridges are designed with easy detonation in mind in case Russians choose to attack. There are relatively few train tracks in the east-west direction of the country so the Russians can't use them for transporting troops.

Finland and Sweden absolutely refused to join NATO, despite years of requests to do so by Western powers. I wonder what happened in the last year to have changed their minds? Schadenfreude.

[@barbtheresa5693]

i should refresh my knowledge of history but russia subjugated these countries somehow into neutrality... now they are finally free to do what they want

[@steveosborne2297]

No one requested the Finns and Swedes to join NATO , it’s up to the countries themselves whether they wish to ask to join . Unlike the so-called Russian military alliances where smaller countries are told “join us or we will invade”

@@steveosborne2297 Sure, there wasn't any action taken officially, but it's been a geopolitical goal of the West for a long time to get the Nordic countries to join in some type of strategic military partnership. That's never been a secret.

@@steveosborne2297 NATO actively sought out the nordic countries to try and get them to join for MANY years prior to feb 22. They just said no. And that was fine. Now the world has changed, and so has their foreign policy

So they actually think the EU wants to attack them for their gas fields, but they can't imagine Russia only attacked Ukraine for their gas fields in Eastern Ukraine?😂

[@Anttihii]

yep, they wanted to steal land areas and Ukraine resources, NATO is only explanation, not the reason. Thye are also afraid of democracy and afraid that neighbor country could develop for rich and democratic country.

The problem is humans cannot handle power for too many years before commencing very poor decision-making. This is why democracies work - they 'FIRE' the leader after a maximum of 2 terms. "There was an election, and you have already served the maximum allowed by law, which is two 4-year terms. So we have a new guy coming in here to lead the country. Get out!" Finland should never have been put in this position to stop being neutral. But if you look anywhere in the world where a single person or group refused to give up power and control, *_VERY BAD THINGS_* happen to the citizens and the country. Stalin, Hitler, Hugo Chavez/Maduro in Venezuela, Fidel Castro in Cuba, the Kim family in North Korea, putin (20+ years!) in russia, and all the kings and queens of old Europe. The People were unable to FIRE those leaders. And much suffering was the result - for the citizens and for neighboring countries. So it's 100% fantastic that NATO is available as a vehicle to insure compliance with the demand for PEACEFUL RELATIONS. But it's sad that some countries do not have "term limits" to eliminate DICTATORS from destroying everything. .

o really? Russia defended all east european countries from Nazi regime, liberated them. Lost 30 million lifes in that war. Afterwards peacefully withdrew its military from Germany, allowed germans to unite. Supplied all these countries with cheap gas, offered them its huge market. And what you did for Russia? Nothing. Marshalls plan in 90th? No way. Offered Russia to join NATO? No way!! No trust in you. Russia is at home, among its brother slavic nations. The last thing ever a russian will do is to ask for an american opinion. 🙈 After you entered Ukraine in 2014 you ruined its economy, economy of our brothers. National currency dropped 400%. Get the fuck out from here!! You bring just ruins everywhere.
