“What the Russians really want is Finnish territory (and Estonia) to give free access from Petersburg to the Gulf of Finland and so to the Baltic.”
As long Finland doesn’t elect another woman, Russia has nothing to worry about.
As far as educated Finns go, Russia doesn’t need them, they have PLENTY of very well educated people, as they don’t let the Leftists run education there.
No, Russia doesnt have these people. It just lost nearly a million of them in 2022-23, to add to the regular annual “brain drain”.
Worse, it doesnt have the entrereneurial spirit to make good use of them. In theory Russia should have all it needs to develop entrepreneurial high tech firms, but no, it hasnt. Where is the Russian Nokia?
