I hope Finland still has snow skiing soldiers to hold back some of Russia’s attacks like they had in World War II.
“…Russia will halt power supply to Finland on Saturday due to lack of payment….”
***************************************************
How dare they!
Maybe the Finns should contract for some French [electric power] nukes.
The Finns have to buy electricity from the Russkies? Maybe they could generate their own instead of swilling vodka.
Russia will probably still show up at Finland’s door with a little pink slip and tell Finland they have one last chance to pay the overdue balance before they go around back and cut the power. It ALWAYS works that way. Why mail a check when they’ll send someone right to your door to pick it up? No worries Finland, we’ve all been there!
The miscalculation the Soviets are making here is that as all of Europe disconnects from Russia that disconnect is more likely to be permanent. That’s a revenue stream that won’t come back after the war is over.
a harsh lesson to learn on naivete, and self sufficiency...
The Eurolemmings are rushing over the cliff
Grids are a national security risk of enormous proportion. The sooner individual plants become available the better.
This will be interesting to see how this unfolds.

When vegetable head Biden weaponized the USD, he had no idea what he did. Russia is self sufficient in food, oil, NG, metals, commodities. Very little debt.
How dare Vlad counter sanctions the west?
How it unfolds? Well, barely three months later the Ruble is rising quickly, the EU economy and manufacturing base is grinding to a halt, the US petro dollar is kaput, credit markets destroyed, disruption of everything the west needs, Russia is raking in billions in oil, NG, to fund Biden’s war, inflation is rampant in the western nations, and the dollar has been dethroned.
My guess? Vlad ( and Xi) declare Checkmate. Financial WWIII has been ignited, and the western rulers have been seen to have no clothes ( nor teethe).
Finns should get some advice from former South Vietnamese and Afghan officials before casting their lot with Joe “You’re on your own” Biden.
The Russians, like the North Vietnamese and Talibane, will wait until the time is ripe.
Hey, where can I get me some of dat? Do I have to bring a bag for it? Paper or plastic? Asking for a friend....
“The Finnish grid company said it can replace Russian electricity supply by importing more electricity from Sweden.”
At times like this I'm reminded of one of Barney's proverbs: "Sharing is caring."
Has a transatlantic power cable to NATO Europe been approved in Congress yet? Just like gasoline, ammunition, pensions, weapons and baby formula, send them America’s. Joe is teaching us how to suffer like Soviets.
Why is Finland not paying?
In the last 10 days the Ukriane claimed responsibility, but Russia clearly was the nation who cut off Germany, and now Finland. The information war has been BS.
