Translation: give us more money.

Just the opposite, if you mean she is begging the U.S. for money. She is saying that European countries must fund their own defense. And Finland already spends more on defense than most NATO countries. Her comments on Europe mirror what Presidents Trump and Reagan have said.

--- "Her comments on Europe mirror what Presidents Trump and Reagan have said."

I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about her stance and politics, or equate it with Reagan's, as an example.

Her party, the SDP, "...is Finland's oldest active political party and has a close relationship with the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions. It is also a member of the Party of European Socialists, Progressive Alliance, Socialist International and SAMAK."

She has been in politics since she was twenty, so a career politician as are so many these days....

Regards.

So you’re saying that Finland, a country with an 800 mile long border with Russia, joining NATO won’t cost us a dime? Do you think Finland will be paying entirely for its own defense?
