It's rocket science to figure out that we and NATO offered to pour a lot of money into Finland in exchange for setting up NATO operations there.
You're either being dishonest or are painfully naïve if you don't understand all that.
Of course, I and anyone with half a brain does.
There is big money in being bought off by the globalist elite.
This is where you play, er, fast and loose.
You assert without proof, or even a hint.
That is not the done thing at all.
Especially when we are dealing with a whole PEOPLE that supports such policies.
We can only reject such an analysis. And we can only describe it as argument in bad faith.
Mauno Saari (MS): The decision to sign that agreement was made when the Parliament was on vacation. The agreement was not presented to the parliament and has many strange features. In my opinion, membership in NATO was the long-term goal and dream of President Niiniste. He will go down in history for implementing it. In other words, he will go down in history as the president who ended the nearly 80-year peaceful and even friendly era between Finland and the Soviet Union/Russia. At the same time, Niiniste destroyed the work of two previous presidents, Juho Kusti Pasikivi and Urho Kekonen, and their life’s work, the doctrine of how a small country can live in peace and prosperity as a neighbor of a great power. It was a very successful “policy of active neutrality”.

MS: Nordic militarism is America’s dream. The creation of this type of militarism was also influenced by the USA through its many years of activity. Sweden has long been a “little America”, with very close relations with the US, also in the field of espionage. Finnish politicians and ordinary people have a completely wrong picture of the United States. We admire America, we don’t want to know that it is a monster that has 750 military bases around the world and lives by devouring the countries it goes to “help”. We don’t want to see the results when the USA “helped” Iraq, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Libya and many other places. We lie to ourselves that the USA will rush to help us if Russia threatens us. America is in no hurry! She’s not even walking. Its way of waging wars is to use the armies and territories of other countries. If there is ever a conflict between NATO/USA and Russia, Finland will be destroyed. In that case, we are a scorched battlefield.

Saari started his career as a reporter at Helsingin Sanomat and then continued his ten-year career in journalism as the editor-in-chief of the magazines Iltaset, Suomen Kuvalehti, Iltalehti and Uude Finland, literally in the most respected daily newspapers and weeklies published in Helsinki. In recent years, he has been writing TV scripts and film templates. He returned to journalism recently and for a reason.
NATO has been worthless from the day it was organized. So much U.S. tax dollar money propping up a group of loser European countries who have leeched off this country for decades. I don’t give a crap about Russia, Ukraine, or the rest of Europe. The U.S. went above and beyond to protect the Euroweenies. Not one more taxpayer dollar to protect these a-holes whose asses we saved twice, but who never bothered to learn the lessons from two World Wars. Third time is not a charm when it comes to saving the globohomos of Europe. They can save themselves from now on.
You have found a Finn with a different opinion. He does not however give any proof of bribery.
Somebody bribed most of the people surveyed in the polls, too. /s
“When are you going to grasp that modern-day Russia isn’t the Soviet Union?”
Russia just acts like it is. Putin admires Stalin and his tyranny. He has said so in public. Do you deny this? Putin pathetic mini-Tsar and mini-Stalin. Mini-brain Freepers admire the alleged anti-Globohomo Putin.
