After decades of neutrality, Finland has now formally applied to join NATO. The decision now lies with the parliaments of NATO countries, which need to ratify Finland's application.
RFE/RL's Georgian Service spoke to Major General Pekka Toveri, the former intelligence chief of the Finnish General Staff, and Colonel Peterri Kajanmaa, director of the Department of Military Skills at the National Defense College, about Finland's changing security outlook, the potential stumbling blocks ahead, and why so-called "Finlandization" was never a good model for Ukraine.

Other than nuclear missiles, Russia is a 3rd world Nation. What u wanna bet their nuclear missiles are in a similar state of decay?
It’s a gas station with nukes and a declining population.
Funny you say that. Just read a long thread on that. Let me is I can find it again.
When this tyrant runs out of tanks and troops, he still has nuclear options....
On the other hand, it is irresponsible to leave your troops in prospective nuclear blast zone.
Let’s pray we never find out.
“This is an extraordinarily important point when it comes to the maintenance & packaging requirements of guided missiles.
If you don’t do either right, between 1 in 5 and 1 in 3 fail.”
Our nuclear deterrent is strong and well maintained.
I’m not worried.
I think there was a scene in a Tom Clancy novel where they open a silo up for inspection and find puddles of water at the bottom of the silo, indicating there’s no way the missile was in any kind of state of readiness.
The inspector looked at his Russian counterpart who just smiled wryly, if I recall.
“It’s a gas station with nukes and a declining population.”
I wonder if they’d be interested in some Mexicans?
“Our nuclear deterrent is strong and well maintained.
I’m not worried”.
You’ve got more faith in the Globalists who control our nukes than I have.
During the SALT treaty inspections, it was estimated that 25-33% of Russian missiles would not launch or explode in the silo.
“What u wanna bet their nuclear missiles are in a similar state of decay?”
Your use of the word decay has two meanings. H-bombs must be periodically ‘replenished’ due to radioactive decay.
Meanwhile in the east, a dragon catches a scent of weakness...
Russia must be a Big Useless Empty , that’s why Putin keeps invading places with Stuff ,LOL
Did we send 100% of our military to Iraq and Afghanistan? I doubt any civilian or military in history has ever sent 100% of their military for any reason whatsoever, and I doubt Putin would have done that.
Time for Finland to take back the land they lost in the winter war.
Have you checked that assertion against the current National Command Authority?
The power without the will is meaningless.
