I think France and a couple of other NATO states have signed similar axis power commitments. The Finns think they can send their troops to Ukraine while relying on their NATO guarantee to protect their border from Russia. In reality, the Russians taking out the Finnish air defence and pasting the Finn military with thousands of tons of exactly the same ordinance the Ukes are getting is pretty much assured as this communique is put into action. It’s the same range from Russia.
The Idiots in DC Are Doubling Down!
They have worked to create war for a decade
It’s not a declaration of war until Finland attacks Russia. Until then it’s just more huffing and puffing. Nevertheless, it’s an unnecessary provocation on the part of Finland.
On the other hand, Finland is a special case. Unlike the weenies in DC, London, and Paris, Finland has some direct experience with Russian aggression (the Winter War of 1939 and 1940).
It’s starting to look like there are no sane people on either side. But if Trump should win in November, there will be one sane person. Hopefully he can bring a negotiated end to this mess before it spirals completely out of control.
