Russia will respond to Finland's decision to grant the United States access to its military bases, a spokesman for Russia's foreign ministry said on Wednesday.

"I can only confirm that Russia will not leave unanswered the NATO military build-up on our border, which threatens the security of the Russian Federation," Deputy Spokesman Andrei Nastasin said.

Yup, NATO is such a huge threat to Russia, which explains why they have withdrawn 80% of their military away from the Finnish border.

Russia has moved the vast majority of its ground forces previously stationed near Finland to the war in Ukraine, the Finnish public broadcaster Yle reported on June 19, citing an undisclosed Finnish military intelligence source.

"On average, 80% of the equipment and soldiers have been transferred to the war in Ukraine," the high-ranking military intelligence source told Yle.

You all need to understand. In order for Joe to win, we must be at war against Russia. That is the goal of his advisors.

Russia can’t respond.

Mother Russia is terminally ill but loud mouthed.

I have a hard time believing that Finland cares much about Biden’s reelection chances.

If they are not a threat then why does NATO need a build up and more members? Why does NATO need bases in Findland, Ukraine and the like? To fight which nation? To defend against which threat? You may be absolutely right and Russia can’t do anything but thay, to me, means someone has some explaining to do.

I’m going to have to borrow that one too.

Russia is going to allow the Norks to open bases along its Finnish border...

[inchworm]

Who we actually have enough people joining military so we can staff bases next to Russia?

[ansel12]

Why would North Korea want that and why would they want to start sending young people outside of their control and have them living in foreign lands?

You get a nuke...you get a nuke...everybody gets a nuke.

They will just keep poking the bear until the Russians release the nukes.

I don’t understand that, you can’t make money selling weapons for a forever war when the world has been destroyed with nukes.

[Who is John Galt?]

You get a nuke...you get a nuke...everybody gets a nuke.

There are plenty to go around - and anyone who guarantees that nukes won't ever be used is nothing but a hopium addict.
