Any country wanting to join NATO, needs to arrive at the door with a cool 1 billion dollars, just to get in! Any current members in arears, must pay up within 6 months or be tossed out to deal with Putin! See how that works?
There’s a way to assert your position that drives those inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt into the camp of those who always hated you and always will. I honestly thought Vladimir was smarter than this.
Yes, Finland! - NATO will stand up for you!!!
Finland was on the German side in WWII. They did slaughter lots of Soviets, though.
Ever see the Find the Finnish Sniper in the snowy forest pic?
It was packed with them and they were invisible.
heard on TV?
the jokes write themselves.
i don’t know what is true but I know if it is on TV it probably isn’t.
The first two operating principles of our Democrat/corporate/media establishment are (1) lie 100% of the time, and (2) always accuse your opponents of what you are doing yourself. Given that Biden is obviously "unhinged" and suffering from "dementia", I suspect such reports about Putin are completely fabricated. Which is NOT intended to suggest that I endorse ex-KGB (or ex-CIA) officials as heads of state...
They had one hell of a problem with Finland prior to our entry into WW2. old Stalin knocked off massive number of his upper echelon military.
A bullet through his head would help.
It is sad to see freepers buying into this stuff. Marketing firms are incredibly powerful.
Which makes one wonder why he would go meet with xi .... and what stealth variant of wuhan virus did putin catch?
And Finns have long been seen as “weak and biddable”.
/serious sarcasm
When Nato forbade portugal from using its Nato earmarked tanks to fight communists in Angola is when Nato became a freaking joke of a fudd club.
Nato has tied more hands than it has provided in security.
Lapland War
That wasn’t really a war - it was more the Soviets demanding the Fins move the Germans along. And it is not clear that the Germans didn’t get the better of it, even so. You could also say the Italians fought the Germans, or the French fought the Allies, but overall those were the remnants making the best of being defeated.
