Despite Moscow's threats over Finland's NATO accession, Russian bases near the Finnish border are virtually empty as Russia has redeployed personnel and equipment from these bases to Ukraine.

Source: Finnish broadcaster Yle, citing sources in intelligence, as reported by European Pravda

Details: Despite Russia threatening Finland with "consequences" if it joined NATO and pledging to increase its military presence near the border, Russian military bases in the region are far emptier than they were a year ago….

Maybe it’s time for Finnland to issue a demarche demanding the return of lands taken by Stalin’s aggression in WWII?

LOL!

Apparently, if you put your answer IN REALLY BIG LETTERS, it makes it "truer".

At least, some of our Ucrazian supporters seem to think so...

I have learned the futility of debating.... with people who have done the reading and sussed out the Kremlin propaganda, such as the "CIA coup" meme that is now part of your DNA. Nobody with an IQ above room temperature believes that stuff anymore, unless they're willfully avoiding the actual history of events in the Maidan 2013-2014. The best narrative is to be found in the early chapters of Timothy Snyder's Road to Unfreedom. Snyder is a real historian who speaks 6 languages and reads 12, including Russian, Polish and Ukrainian. His text is copiously footnoted, he read and interviewed hundreds of sources.

And all you have is Sputnik and Russia Today.

They are by Oliver Stone, who is pretty accomplished himself.

But you go drool over your pet propagandist.

Snyder is a POS Yalie.

"Drawing on the lessons of European history, Snyder brought into American political discussion the terms 'big lie', in reference to Donald Trump's claim that he won the 2020 election..."

He's a Lefty and a snotnose brat who has a tantrum when he sees our MAGA populism.

His information silo is probably Big Democrat Media.

Long overdue for a trip out back of the barn.

I see how it is. Ad hominem attacks instead of actual logic.

I knew you were a waste of time.

What am I to think? They REFUSE to read. I get Oliver Stone videos thrown up to me as "history", for God's sake!

There are Norks on the way and xhomping at the bit to kill NATO soldiers. The military alliance with NK and the transfer of hypersonic tech has has a few upset with US missiles fired into Russia.

Freak’n Iran is exporting the HOOTIE SCROUGE into the Caribbean for piracy.

I eould say Biden is finished in 3 weeks, and appologies for his Admin given as the finally gets some actual diplomacy started to undo the damage.

If the Soviet Union was bankrupted by oeace thru strength, it is the US that now faces threats for which it will take time and money to solve.

The morons in Congress and Biden Admin have made Obamas wet dream of taking down the US a few notches very close to our reality.

There are 130 nations uncoupeling from the US economic system and headed to Brics. Biden has effectively used sanctions to isolate America in a new bipolar world.

NATO squandered the 1991 peace dividend.

Hopefully God will help our children, because Biden’s crew hates God and mankind.

His Lefty Yale stooge Timmy "CIA-Boy" Snyder probably hung out with Gay Barry in Man's Country in Shy-Town.

See? Two can play the ad-hominem game.

Snyder is a POS Yalie.

Have you read any of his books? You've claimed to be "well-read". Or did you pull some hostile opinion quote up off the internet? Have you looked at his CV? Lots deeper than yours, I'll bet.

I don't much give a darn about his politics. He writes good, accurate, well-researched and well-documented history.

Has she? Sources? Did she write a book?

I really wonder if any of you Nuland-haters even know what a "coup" is.

I have a copy of Bloodlands that I haven't gotten around to.

I'll now know to put my "translation from Lefty neolib" glasses on.

NATO with the Biden team blames China, N.Korea and bad luck for Russian military victory in Ukraine.

What victory? This is year 3 of them and the Russians are huddled by the Russian border in many places. A few coal fields grabbed, hundreds of thousands of Russians dead or maimed.

We shall all know the truth soon. One of three things will happen. 1. WW III that will expand to engage the whole world.
NATO vs Axis. Battles in Pacific, Alaska, South America, Africa, Asia, or 2. New right wing governments in Europe will pull out of Ukraine leaving them high and dry. Same if Trump wins. or 3. Russia sends its full force into Ukraine and seizes the whole thing in a blitz. Putin wins big and appoints his new president of Ukraine.

If he's a Lefty, his "facts" are well-steeped in a teapot full of cow droppings.

Fortunately, I have quite a library of Eastern Front books with which to compare his opinion...
