In a move that could risk infuriating Russia, nuclear weapons could possibly be positioned in Finland if the country's application to join NATO is approved, according to a report from a Finnish newspaper.
Foreign policy insiders told Iltalehti this means NATO nuclear weapons could transit through, or be based on, Finnish territory. Additionally, there are no restrictions on establishing NATO bases in the country.
Earlier this month, the Polish government said it had held discussions with the U.S. government about hosting U.S. nuclear weapons, though this hasn't been confirmed by Washington.
NATO is currently conducting a nuclear exercise, called "Steadfast Noon," which began on October 17 and will continue until October 30.
The drills involve around 60 aircraft, including U.S. B-52 bombers which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Saber rattling.
Poking the Bear.
“Check out my dong” says Finland.
“Don’t poke the bear.”
“If you keep poking the bear he goes crazy.”
“You can’t play with bear.”
Direct quote from guy I ran into from somewhere in eastern europe getting coffee the other day.
Infinite stupidity.
Effing retarded…
they are baiting him again
there’s no proof of any of this
and it probably won’t happen, none of the other “new” NATO countries allows nukes
more Russian fearmongering
Exactly. The West’s entire leadership is the most unqualified bunch of pea brains seen in years.As we are are starting to witness the EU fracturing, ( rioting, mass demonstrations) it is getting obvious the CITIZENS will not agree to that nonsense.
As we are witnessing, governments are changing, the people of the EU are waking up to the suicide their pea brained leadership is forcing on them.
Why is the West so intent on comitting suicide?
could possibly
/\
Oh look.
Another
totaly unfounded
make work
to look busy STORY.
Zzzzzzzzzz.
The West has to ask itself: Is this the hill you want to die on?
“ Finland Will Allow NATO to Place Nuclear Weapons on Border With Russia”
*************************************************************************
Wonderful. I’m sure the Russians won’t worry about that any more than we would be concerned if Mexico allowed Russia or China to place their nuclear weapons on OUR southern border.
Are our national leaders INSANE? Is their insanity, the constant beating of the war drums and chants of RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA driving the WEAKER MINDED among us into WAR FEVER? It sure seems that way.
MADNESS!
Well... The Russians has already deployed their nuclear weapons in the dead center of western Europe - in Kaliningrad!
So.. Russia is indeed poking at us... its just normal Finland would be ready to return the favor...
Anusauskas told Lithuania’s BNS wire that nuclear weapons have been deployed in Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave on the Baltic Sea since before the current crisis.
This is how we got the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Just damn.
Wow. The next thing will be the Russians putting nuclear weapons in Cuba. Actually they tried that once and we just threw a hissy fit. And appropriately so.
Why would we expect the Russians to act differently?
fruitless and insane
George Washington was right about permanent alliances.
Yep.....West is playing with fire.
