  1. I can’t stop laughing ๐Ÿ˜‚. Putin wanted less Nato but now he got more Nato. Truely a master strategist.

  2. Thank you Vladimir Putin for being the Single Best RECRUITER for NATO-OTAN membership. We couldn’t have done it without you!

    1. @Stuart Dollar you forgot stronk North Korea ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ I swear itโ€™s like some shitty movie line up

  3. Russia is upset about Finland joining NATO just a like a burglar is upset a house-owner bought a police alarm.

    1. @Raptorman0909 Good comment, well put. Let’s not forget, in terms of natural resources, Ukraine is called the breadbasket of the world, especially Europe and Africa (just to double down on your point). So Russia is hoping to get TWO strangleholds. Plus control of the Black Sea and everything coming in and out of it via port.

    2. @King David — Some 78 percent of Finns have a positive attitude toward NATO membership and more than half are of the opinion that Finland should be open to all cooperation within NATO, including having military bases located inside Finland, according to a survey by the Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA.

  4. Welcome to the North Atlantic Alliance Finland!! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    And a round of applause for Putin, because without him, none of this would have been possible. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    1. โ€‹@Colin o brien the person who gave that comment is obviously Russia as they blaming everyone else but Russia topical Russia answer and really now because of putin he on its own has turned Russia into a joke all on his own

  5. Greetings from Finland! Our 106 year prison break from Soviet Union+Russia has ended. We could not be happier! We’ll stand together for freedom and democracy!

    1. @Tyrone Slothrop if you’re not part of the solution and what’s right, then you’re definitely part of the problem and unequivocally wrong. Be on the right side of history and stand for something.

    2. โ€‹@Tyrone Slothrop Neutrality for a small democratic country exposed to the Russians has meant e.g.: getting invaded by an invasion force 3 times larger than the allied landing in Normandy, getting bullied, getting threatened, being in constant readiness through the decades to take on a full scale Russian invasion alone. How was neutrality, which was originally forced on Finland on gunpoint by the Soviet Union, working for Finland?

    3. โ€‹@Nean Der Thal Finland lost its SISU when they joined without Sweden leaving it the only country in the Nordic without a defensive alliance. Weak.

    1. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ just know Ukraine is twice as big as those 2 they will be gone in a day

  6. I can see why NATO selected Mr. Stoltenberg to be it’s leader at this time. Sober, insightful and rational. Amazing how a small Scandinavian country(Norway), seems to produce such talented diplomats . A lesson to be learned for all democracies.

    1. โ€‹@Steve Busfield that is the case for Finland and Sweden. In Denmark, where i live, the military is barely functioning, and would NOT be able to fight off a capable military land invasion.

    2. @Jens Thomsen you have strong neighbors.. no need, but you should assist them monetarily…buy them some leopard tanks.

    3. @Jens Thomsen It’s OK, the strength of the Danish Kroner helps in other ways. The Danish economy and currency is one of the most stable and dependable in the world. *waves from Norway.

    1. @Shane This is logic right here! I can give you. If you have more fire power , you dont need mobilizing many troops unless your enemy has overwhelming men power. Russia is mobilizing much less troops than Ukraine because it has more fire power. If you dont have enough fire power, then you have to use men power. Understood?

    2. @tuviauso-minhcotu5817ย  remember the urban legend The Ghost of Kyiv? They were blaming a ghost fighter pilot for downing Russian aircrafts. They laughed it off as ghost stories but one fact still making those planes were still falling out of the aky.

    1. @Eric Sutton Regionally, they are. Culturally and language wise, they are very different, but in a Geopolitical sense, they are part of Scandinavia.

    2. Nato is a defensive force ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚what happens after there is nobody left to protect,,????๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    3. โ€‹@Serhan Kapucuyou are the only one๐Ÿคก ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  7. The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians under videos about the atrocities committed against civilians in Ukraine were no less shocking to Ukrainians than the war itself.
    We somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time without even knowing it is still terrifying.
    These creatures call themselves our brothers.
    Imagine what they would do to you, who they call their enemies, if you let them.
    Not supplying weapons to Ukraine in order to achieve an early peace would be like allowing a violator to violate his victim in order to end the violence as soon as possible.

    1. You are generalizing. It’s just like saying that Ukrainian people are Nazis, because some are celebrating Bandera.

  8. Magnificent work by Jens Stoltenberg who has managed to do things that until recently seemed impossible, such as the accession process of Sweden and Finland to NATO.
    A big round of applause for this man. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

    1. โ€‹โ€‹@Liz Anderson His reward should be the Noble PP. ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ

    2. @Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius for you it is a game ๐Ÿ˜ขโ€ฆ while USis stirring up war โ€ฆ. did you had ever any history lesson? What do you know about Europe and what do you know about our culture?

    3. @Liz Anderson you mean ๐Ÿซ– . If that would it be all? I love tea and tea represent for me rest. Non of these politicians , nor the journalists who twists the truth will find rest . ๐Ÿ˜ข

  9. Great news! Finland! Welcome to our big Euro-Atlantic family! We stay strong together! Greets from Poland!

    1. Russian objective is to have NATO, US to not build military bases right next to the border.
      Those Scandinavians will never allow US to come and build military bases
      That’s that

    2. You mean you all stay safe under America’s umbrella, which me and my kids get taxed beyond levels any European would accept. Look, I don’t want to see Russia or Putin steamroll Europe but why do Americans have to always pay for it?

    3. โ€‹@urikayan Americans don’t have any where near as high taxes as in Scandinavia. And Finland joining NATO Will benefit the Us economy not drain it
