Yeah, Russia won't dare to attack a NATO nation. They know they're done after that. It's an all out war that they can't win. Hopefully Finland can join before getting attacked 🙏

When Finland n Sweden will became NATO member i'll make party 'bout that.

[ltbrutusq]

Sweden & Finland does not need to antagonize Russia by becoming members of NATO all NATO needs to do is GUARANTEE both countries that if Russia attack them they will come to their defense which is the same as being a member. This alliance will be name "A Special Military Protection Operation Policy" Putin will understand this.

To show its commitment for peace, Russia must apply and join NATO.
A historic moment for peace in Europe.

Maybe they should be neutral. Or join NATO on paper only, with no weapons, just training defense

[valerydan]

Hey Finland, does it worth it to please US by joining NATO while loosing:
-Electricity supply from Russia
-Gas supply from Russia
-Loosing neutrality status and as a result Russian "Islander" missiles are already on the way to Finland border
-Loosing freight traffic passage through Saimaa Canal
-Lost very generous Russian tourists
and many more...
What do you get from NATO membership? Military bases with lots of army ammunition and as a result potential target for Russian rockets.
Stupidity doesn't have boundaries...

If Sweden and Finland were true democracies, they would put the question of joining NATO to a referendum.

It will cost money to Russian Federation if two new members join NATO. They have to deploy more troops along the long largely unmanned border with Finland as seen on youtube.  Right now as seen on youtube, the Russian nation  has a sleepy border with Finland with just few border guards outposts as seen on youtube. America is full of entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Donald Trump and can afford to pay for the extra cost incurred by Russia. If Russia now has to deploy new  troops on the border with Finland, and if this costs 1 billion dollars a year, then Bill Gates and Donald Trump or Elon Mask can foot the bill. They can send Russian Federation  a check for 20 miion dollars per billionaire. Alternatively just befire Finland and Sweden joins NATO, all 30 NATO countries including North Macedonia can send a pre paid draft check for 10 million dollars every year to Russia payable to Russian Federation. If America opens one large military base in North Macedonia and Sweden and Fi land, the average number of mass murderers and serial killings within America will come down as indicated by esrlier surveys. The average intelligence within America stsys the same if lots of service persons go abroad from America to sleep in new bases. I have googled and researched this topic in Batesville somewhere in America. If these two well - armed countries feel insecure, we can send troops there.
