He actually answers the questions he's being asked. Quite refreshing for a politician.

[TrueloveMC]

Gotta love how he speaks. No exaggerating, dramatising. Simple and reasonable. Seems like a good man. Wishing Finland all the best and be safe!

Can not fault the honesty of this man 🙏

[rubenybarra]

Finland is an independent & free country. They can decide to join or not. 🇫🇮

The thing with our Finnish president is that he sees himself as equal as anyother finn and is not above anyone. Care about everybody else. This was really seen a few years ago when he travelled from Finland he was in economy class on the aircraft reading a newspaper or when he went on a for him interesting event at a auditorium and the seats were full so he saw that and sat down in the staircase and was 100% fine with that and didnt want to disturb anyone or when he was as a president shoveling snow from his own home and journalists photographed him and basicly told them that its fun to do these normal things. Theres alot of high rank people that can learn from him!

America needs politicians like him. Straight to the point.. Can not fault the honesty of this man .

[SecondWindWarrior]

Thank you to the President of Finland for taking the time to address the American people.

As a Swede, I agree with him; this is a time where our +200 years of neutrality must end. We don't feel threatened by Russia, but as a member of NATO, we can help taking a stand against terror.

Finland's president seems extremely well spoken, intelligent, calm, rational and oriented towards finding solutions. I wish my country (Austria) had such politicians... He's of an exceedingly rare sort in central Europe and the western world in general.

I love the way he didn't allow her repetitious pressure to admit fear of attack have any affect on his responses. Good man. Bad newslady.

[maygreen]

I have no regret voting for him.. Greetings from Helsinki/ Finland 🇫🇮

[mariagibbons]

Mr Niinisto seems to be an honest and down-to-earth leader. Respecting others and not yielding to pressure by any other nation. Finland will definitely be an asset to NATO.

[fabiolazzati]

Quite few president in the world have such a high level of knowledge, humanity and sincerity as Niinisto. Congratulations to Finland 🇫🇮

[chevyvet]

Nothing but respect to you Finland and your president I can't say as much for our president greetings from the USA

[passenger]

I love this guy. Fins are truly blessed to have such a president 🙏

He's an absolute gentleman but on the other hand "a sterne and solid leader " who doesn't take any shit from Russia lol

He knows his people and represents them collectively "very well"

[pannakotian]

The Finn's are sensible, cool and logical and so their President is truly a gentleman.Finns must be proud of President Ninisto 🙏🏼

Refreshingly honest, calm and balanced. Pity there are not more leaders like him in politics.

[TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles]

Sauli Niinistö. What a refreshing, mature, stable and wise leader. Unlike some of the theatrical idiots we've had in the west recently.

[Lexyvil]

I wish my country (Canada) could have a well spoken leader like him. Our past few prime ministers from my experience would often beat around the bush for not knowing how to reply certain questions.
