Finland's brainless neocons will chain Finland to NATO — without asking the Finnish people first

We saw this coming

 

From Dave DeCamp:

 

 

The leaders of Finland announced Thursday that they plan to apply to join NATO “without delay,” a move that will greatly escalate tensions between Helsinki and Moscow.

 

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said repeatedly that the alliance would quickly approve Helsinki’s membership.

 

Sweden is also eyeing a NATO membership and is expected to make a decision this week.

 

“Russia will be forced to take retaliatory steps both of military-technical and of other nature in order to stop the threats to its national security that emerge as a result,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said, according to Tass.

Look at a map

 

See the length and orientation of the Finland-Russia border?

 

Do you think that the Russian Federation will easily tolerate NATO nukes near (say) Helsinki, only 303 kilometers (189 miles) from St. Petersburg?

 

Especially so while remembering, as Russians do, that Finland supported Germany's Nazis against the Soviet Union during World War 2. Most memorably during the Siege of Leningrad and the resulting one million Russian deaths there.

 

 

The neocon-led West . . .

 

. . . is potentially sacrificing Finland, like death-proxied Ukraine, to neoconservatism's global domination ambition.

 

 

The moral? — Western leadership will . . .

 

. . . (we can deduce) not stop its war-provoking and escalating — until the rest of us are moldering in radioactive ash.
