Thank you so much, Finally we are all together. Maybe we should take back Karelia that the Russians took away from you? Karelia belongs to Finland

@@1891726 I work with a Finn and asked him about Karelia, he said Finland doesn't want it back because Russia has turned it into a polluted wasteland.

@@1891726 After Russian occupation Karelia in such bad shape that most people are not anymore thinking about getting it back.

@@janko6608 My father's sister's partner is half-Finnish. Swedish father and Finnish mother, and he still has relatives in Finland whom he visits. his father's father was a Swedish volunteer in the Finnish Winter War and the Continuation War and had permanent injuries after the war. And his mother's father was Finnish who fought in the Finnish military. He also has papers from the judgment signed by Carl Gustav Mannerheim himself. He would like to see Finland take back the Karelia, he surely means that right should be right. Then I myself have friends who have Finnish roots, but some are divided in their opinions. Depends where you stand. But if it is correct, it actually belongs to Finland. But I don't know what Finns think and think and have an opinion about it? only you can answer them. Same thing, my great-grandfather had signed up as a Swedish volunteer but never came to the front, then Had Finland and Russia signed a peace treaty, I know that my grandmother was very worried about him going to fight

The irony is Russian can say they forbid NATO membership all they want (but they have NO VETO powers) to stop anyone joining NATO.

You’re more correct than you realize!

as a Ukrainian (russian) living in Sweden, you guys believe your media too much 🤦🤦If you actually understood the context of the war and some background about euromaidan you'd know USA provoked this war, you people seriously think putin wanted to invade a country they have coexisted and thrived together with for over 1200 years?

Honestly when the war goes nuclear what does it matter

Very good and accurately stated....

Means nothing because Russia is not and has never been a naval power. Their philosophy has always been that there are only two kinds of vessels that ply the waters, submarines, and those who are targets for submarines.

Advanced submarine technology, advanced aircraft, as well as very versatile anti-aircraft missile systems? Will it all help against the nuclear weapons?

Yes Sweden brings very advanced toy-submarines from the LEGO market.

Has been for a long time due to EU, like this now made EU and NATO exist a bit within the same area without creating "odd situations".

It's not a NATO lake. There's nothing called that internationally. Russian fleet and submarines are still in the Baltic sea and they'd navigate freely unless some country wants to take the step to declare war, no NATO country would. There are more Russian vessels in the Baltic sea than NATO vessels.

It’s NATO fault

And what Sweden and Finland do to Russia, nothing. Russia has no reason to attack nato, so if nato ever attacks, it will be nuclear war

and now as an American 🇺🇸 I can tell you that any attack on Sweden 🇸🇪 is now a direct attack on the U.S. which Russia won’t ever do

On the other hand, it seemed to have won the love and adoration of geehadists everywhere

It takes years of training to use those fighters in a tactical way. And NATO doesn’t protects its members. It just supports its members.

I think Poland would not agree with this assessment. But yes, Finland and Sweden does bring a lot to the table, both in military capability and strategic location.

Well, when it comes to Sweden their neighbours hope that them joining NATO means we do not have to defend Swedish airspace in weekends anymore as we have done for "neutral" Sweden for years in weekends where their fighter pilots are off. It´s true! Danish fighters jets have for years made sonic booms passing my home in weekends because they were heading for Sweden to turn around Russian fighters violating their airspace. Swedish fighter pilots are few and not paid an competitive salary, why most leave as soon as their contracts are over, to fly higher paid commercial jet positions! I truly hope that stops now, so I do not have to hear sonic booms while I see my tax money flowing/flying to Sweden to protect their nation because they refuse to have the basic decency to pay what it cost to protect their own airspace in weekends! And Sweden produce own jets! I have not written about this during their application period but now are the time! Step up fast Sweden, please. Maybe your media have not told you about this, I would not be surprised, but it are the truth! Train pilots and do it fast! Edit. And if Trump instead of being at Guantanamo takes residence in the White house then maybe we even want to buy some submarines and jets from you!

Surely every member is a beneficiary. Having 31 allies is better than standing alone, no matter who you are. The other side of that is, every member ought to be seen as contributing to that image of shared resolve. A couple members have slightly undermined the image of unity from time to time.

Trump? Isn’t it past your jail time?

I am not sure what Finland brought to the table, 30K soldiers and a 1 400 km longer border with Russia that NATO has to defend.

As is the US, sadly. Biden has been sending support in drabs so he can say he is constantly supporting Ukraine. Trump is blocking more aid because it is tied to the border security issue and he wants to campaign on Biden not taking care of that. If our politicians did the right thing and stopped gambling with people's lives over Oval Office-winning talking points, we would have a better government.

Well they have a bad history. They went to war with the world twice

Ending this war? So naive...

In other words Germany learned its lesson and will do anything it can to avoid shilling for any war. Period.

@@RP-dy5mu Germany has actually been sending a good deal of aid, Scholtz is just iffy on the Taurus missiles. Hope he won't be soon; we need to all help Ukraine kick Putin to the curb sooner rather than later.

Will it help against nuclear weapons?
