Putin got real quiet after this
I think it is time and we need the Peace of the Dead, Nuclear War should happen, NATO please make one mistake with russia. Putin please make sure you have enough nukes.
putin is controlled oppestion dont be fooled
lol wut?
Finland had so much experience fighting the Soviets. This is a welcoming addition.
Therefore lost Karjala.
@@BuschLatte doesn't mean those experiences just go away lol.
@@BuschLatteYou can be sure Finns have been training a lot.
That's great news, congratulations Finland.
Being Finnish I really liked this dicussion and the guest brought up important points. Not only did he explain correctly why Finland sought to join NATO, but he also brought up the vital point of what effect Finland and (soon) Sweden joining will have on the security of the Baltic countries. There have been fears that Russia would see the Baltics as weak spot in NATO that could be cut off and taken before NATO can react. Now that's no longer possible.
Finland no longer needs to worry about potentially facing Russia alone and what used to be weak flank for NATO is now a strong point. Everyone except Putin wins.
What does it mean for Finland from Finland's economy and standard of living of ordinary people point of view?
Finland so far is one of the few countries in the world where the country's population has grown steadily every year since 1970. It will be interesting to see if the population growth in Finland will continue in a few years, for example, in 5 years, after Finland joined NATO in April 2023.
@@FirstNameLastName-hy1pf is probably Russian bot but I leave reply in case someone wonders about this five years from now.
Finland's fertility has been low for a long time and population growth depends on immigration. NATO has no effect on those things. Economically the membership also doesn't matter since Finland already spends the NATO target of 2%+ on defence and would be spending it regardless if we were members or not since Russia isn't going to go anywhere from our border.
@@FirstNameLastName-hy1pfi really wonder how finland was able to join NATO so quickly unlike the ukraine that has been trying to join the NATO since 2014 but weren't still to be able to join the alliance
@@MTC008 NATO was actually split about Ukraine back then because they don't want to provoke a war with Russia. Finland and Sweden too. NATO wants to preserve the status quo. Then last year everything changed when Putin invaded Ukraine unprovoked. So it's technically correct to say we can thank Putin for Finland joining NATO and potentially Sweden and Ukraine coming soon 😅.
@@FirstNameLastName-hy1pfNato is a military defense alliance, not an economic one which is the EU.
Putin can thank Turkey for voting to accept Finland into NATO.
Now Turkey & Hungry need to stop holding grudges & approve our friend Sweden!
well NATO can strengthen to the moon and back but in a fight with Russia there will be no one left to talk about it as simple as that, Russia would just unleash nukes in a conflict with 31 countries

When you dont allow these international banksters to control your oil , all natural resources , and the president is not their puppet... They will sanction you and try to go to war with you.
Entirely due to Putin's megalomaniac hubris the Baltic Sea which was a Russian and Soviet dominated lake, is now a Nato sea with Russia confined to two small access points of St Petersburg and Kaliningrad, accessible only by sailing thru Nato controlled waters.

How would that end anything? And Russia was considered to be invited, but the slide away from a democratic system of governance kinda killed that. And Putin not wanting to.
Putin's in charge of UN security, now everyone wants to be with UN. 🤣🤣🤣
Finland and Sweden and Ukraine were part of NATO unofficially for a long time
Finland and Sweden yes, but not Ukraine. They're sure getting there now but they've never been a partner or anything like it.
If Russia (or anybody) had made a move against Sweden or Finland, NATO would have acted; plain and simple, even though they weren't members. They'd have had no choice. Both countries are much too close to NATO soil and far too important to let fall.
The Ukraine war on the other hand, is now over a year old and NATO is only now starting to supply it with some serious firepower. They really didn't lift a finger for the first couple of months until the Ukrainians proved they would fight and ever since, it's only been penny packets to keep them from losing. Even now, I don't think NATO is taking the fight seriously enough.
@@hughjass1044 What a load of CIA malarkey. The US has been arming the Ukraine junta to the teeth since the 2014 coup. Russia should roll into Finland and begin the process of its denazification tomorrow. And when it is done, roll on into Poland. Article 5 won't mean sfa.

Please clarify. Are you really saying that Yugoslavia attacked one of the NATO countries and therefore NATO started a war with Yugoslavia *IN ORDER TO DEFEND* ... one of the NATO countries, right?
@@000snow000 The hell it is.
This make the important of NUK development in the Russia. Finally Putin will say thanks to Finland.
This was very accurate, but one important piece is missing. In Dec. 2021 Russia made the statement that Finland cannot join NATO, and if it tried, would face military consequences. If Finland had accepted that, it would have meant that Finland accepts that it is not a sovereign state, but has to follow a foreign policy dictated by Russia. That was impossible to be accepted.
Therefore Finland would have joined NATO at some point even if the Russian invasion of Ukraine had never happened. The invasion just made the joining happen faster.
The reason of joining was fundamentally not the fear that Russia might invade Finland some day - that could of course have happened any year even before, and that is why we have the 900 000 reserve; nothing new in that. But the fact that Russia tried to stop Finland from making decisions of its own foreign and security policy was unheared of. Finland was not even planning to join NATO, but now it really had no choice - either accept Russian rule out of fear, or join NATO and show who makes the decisions in Finland; the Finnish people.
The invasion of Ukraine also caused a strong feeling of protest in Finland. We could not remain neutral about the Russian army killing civilians in Ukraine. It was clear on which side we were on.
Finland has never been neutral, so joining NATO nothing changes strategically. War between NATO and Russia would be nuclear. The only thing that changed is that Finland🇫🇮 will be hit by nuclear⚛️ directly on its soil. 😂
Not a smart move by Finland.
Well in that way nothing has chainsed since USSR/Russia have had there nukes then

Finland so far is one of the few countries in the world where the country's population has grown steadily every year since 1970. It will be interesting to see if the population growth in Finland will continue in a few years, for example, in 5 years, after Finland joined NATO in April 2023.
