Russia has reportedly moved missiles capable of firing nuclear warheads close to its border with Finland amid heightened threats over the latter’s bid to join NATO.
A fleet of more than a dozen military vehicles moved down a highway — including seven that are thought to carry Iskander missiles, a video clip shared by Reuters Monday shows.
They were taken to Vyborg, a Russian city on the Finnish border, “as soon as the president of Finland said they were joining NATO,” the unidentified narrator of the clip said.

Let’s Go Brandon!
Why is it any more dangerous than it was before?
When we really get ourselves enmeshed deeply do they cut off Taiwan and pull the plug on our supply chain? Remember, they study the Warring States period and think about how to win in multi-state conflicts. We think we are in charge and can't lose and besides the people in charge are more concerned about getting their beaks wet and keeping out of jail than the safety and welfare of the American nation.
As I said above, the danger is that we are going to get so enmeshed with Russia over preserving our corruptocracy that we are going to hand a huge W to China.
Exactly! This is all blustering.
You are probably well aware already that CCP has been “testing” Taiwan’s ADIZ for months now... *every single day*.
5 to 20 aircraft, each day.
I have been assured by our very own Vaxxed damaged Zelenskyyites that when Russia moves it’s nuclear arsenal to the border to another country, after threatening them, it’s actually a good thing.
Of course. And we are busy figuring out how to keep $38B of $40B of “aide” to Ukraine inside the Beltway.
It’s nothing.
Iskanders have been covering Finland for ages. This article is just a dumb journalist getting fooled by Russian propaganda as usual.
Jennifer Griffin from Fox is one of the few who can write competently on NatSec issues.
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Vyborg plays a big part in Ben Macentyre’s The Spy and the Traitor. His previous book Operation Mincemeat is coming out on film. Both books are recommended and I’m looking forward to the movie.
To be clear, from the Russian perspective the threat to further expand NATO looks an awful lot like the promise of expanding the corrupt degenerate perversion practicing WEF directed NWO further against Russia's borders - which is the next step in the game of chutes and ladders that the West is playing. Russia is threating to upset the game board and China is trying to take title to the house where we are playing, and we are teaching 4 year olds how to masturbate.
So yeah. It doesn't matter whether Putin has a point. We are in mortal danger.
So Russia has no nuclear missiles able to reach Finland, except mobile launchers that have to be moved to the Finnish border? Silly.
Putin isn't the danger, rather it's the sickos who believe we live in a democracy that is such a treasure, it should be exported to the four corners of the earth, by force if necessary.
“Why is it any more dangerous than before?”
It probably is not, but it makes for great fear porn and gives the fatalists (i.e.: the Branch Covidians) something else to obsesses over now that COVID is over and our economy is in the toilet and inflation is out of control.
Gotta keep the peasants occupied before they realize the king has no clothes and revolt.
“Hey! Look over there! Shiny keys! Shiny keys!”
Exactly.
Russians suck at making friends.
“Let’s threaten the entire world because we don’t get what we want.”
Pretty stupid, since Ukraine is kicking their asses, now they’re going to start with Finland.
Jennifer Griffin is anti-Trump.
Why, why, why when NATO was created to offset the Soviet Union, did they keep expanding NATO eastwards after the USSR brokeup when they had no evidence in the 90’s that Russia would definitely try to expand?
Why place missles in Turkey in 1961 to be matched by the Soviet Union putting missiles in Cuba in 1962?
Moving them, if they really did, is just for show, missiles can just be given new coordinates.
