Just what we need, another pissant country mooching off the US because they refuse to defend themselves. Oy.
You might want to check your history. Finland made the vaunted Red Army bleed.
Actually quite wrong. Finland has a decent military and will Contribute to NATO. 280,000-strong military.
The Finns are incredibly good at killing Russians. It amazed the whole world what they managed to do in the Winter War.
Finland already spends a considerable amount of GDP (2%) on self defence. Your railing about the wrong nation dude. They know what they got to their east, i traveled there back in 2000s, it is bleak as hell in June.....cant immagine the other 11 months.
The Finns are tough-ass people, make fabulous firearms and knives, and know how to use them. I don’t think herr Putin will mess with them.
Don’t sell the Finns short.
During the Winter War, 11/30/39-3/13/40, the Finns made the Soviet army bleed like a stuck hog. It was so bad that the Russians had to fall back, regroup and attack again with different tactics.
The Finnish snipers did a job on the Russian officers. Simo Häyhä, proclaimed the deadliest sniper in history had 505 confirmed kills over 100 days until he was badly wounded.
Simo Häyhä aka the White Death.

Even though the Russians gained territory from Finland in the Treaty of Moscow, they didn’t want to fight the Finns again. Even after WW2 the Russians were leery of Finland and didn’t make any attempt to invade even though Finns fought for Germany in the Wermacht and SS.
