Finland surprised by Putin's easy reaction to the country's decision to join NATO

Helsinki is surprised by the easy reaction of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Finland's decision to join NATO. This was stated in an interview with the Swedish edition of Dagens Nyheter by President Sauli Niinistö.

According to the President of Finland, he was extremely worried about Vladimir Putin's statement about the accession to the Russian Federation of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.



I interpreted it as if he was putting everything at war. He played poker and went all-in. It still worries me that we are dealing with someone who goes to any lengths without being able to win everything. And what does it mean if you lost, if you bet everything? Worst of all, there's no end in sight

Sauli Niinistö said.

The President of Finland believes that Stalin made the same mistake before the start of the Soviet-Finnish war, counting on the capture of Helsinki by Soviet troops within two weeks.

It is difficult for Ukraine to return its territory. At one time, the leadership of Finland had to make a difficult decision about the loss of part of the territory in order to conclude a peace treaty with the USSR. But Ukrainians themselves must determine what will be a just world for them. I am surprised by Putin's easy reaction to Finland's decision to join NATO. Moscow decided not to pay attention to it. What you did is wrong, of course, Putin said, but it's not that worrisome.

– confessed Niinistö.

Finland announced its desire to join NATO at the end of last year. And some time ago, official Helsinki announced its intention to supply Ukraine with a batch of heavy armored vehicles.

    phantom pains. However, the Chukhonets twitches. No one was going to take Helsingfors, first. About half a year of Stalin's negotiations, supported even by Hitler, the Chukhonian forgot, the second. Tasks to move the border were completed, the third. What Stalin proposed from the very beginning, and in fact is now on the territory of Finland, the fourth. The fact that the Finns are being substituted for American control of the NSR is the fifth. And lastly, these are the lives of the Finns.

    This is the worm and pierced. They, in collusion with the United States, wanted to bring Putin to hysteria ... and then in the end they saw a completely opposite result, and this worries them. They are looking for a trick or something that they have driven themselves into a trap.

    There has been no serious war in the world for a very long time, plus the collapse of the USSR. Including, for these reasons, a number of politicians from the West and the continent and leaders of countries have decided that their "Military" games will go unnoticed, but the exam is inevitable, and the result is obvious. Mankind must grow up, politics should not be a toy in someone's rash hands, Collusion is a period of time for the purpose of deception or self-deception, the curve of history should restore rarities and main values.

    Not only her. Normal citizens of Russia - too.
    I still remember the general bewilderment in 2004, when a whole group of Western countries on our borders joined NATO. From Putin's side then there was only silence and confidence like "let them join - everything is under control."
    The Anglo-Saxons do not reveal their secrets to anyone. If they believe that their submission to the Russian authorities since 1992 should be hidden from everyone, and from their own public, then they do it.
    How else can you create a full-fledged "aggressor" from Russia in the war of the Russian Federation with Europe, which has almost been kindled by the Anglo-Saxons?

    It’s just that the turn will reach you a little later and not necessarily a military one ...

    It is difficult to say who is cooler, Putin or Stalin? But the attitude towards both in Europe is about the same.

    they thought that Russia's reaction would be in the form of creating threats to Finland, which promises decent investments in strengthening the eastern borders of NATO. These are funds for infrastructure, the construction of bases, the deployment of NATO troops. Great loot. The Balts want the same thing.

    But in fact, Finland has lost Russian tourists, lost Russian investors and will lose a lot more. From NATO, they will only receive a commitment to spend 2% on defense. At the end there will be a fat minus, the loot of the Finns will move to the accounts of the US and EU military-industrial complex.

    Why should he be worried? Iskanders and bastions are pulled up to the border. The Baltic Fleet is ready. Yes, and they will fly from the Northern Red Banner zircons and will not notice

    This fucking Finn has not decided whether to rejoice at him or be sad at Putin's reaction. Everything is like this in the West, they first create a virtual problem, and then they begin to discuss it and even fear the consequences of what is not in reality

    The prime minister did not understand that the reaction was ahead. There is always a reason for a neighbor to shit on the other side. Do not rush to rejoice.
