“Boltenkov, however, appeared to be unsure why Finland decided to join the defence alliance.”
As a finn this just makes me laugh.

At the end of WW2 as the walls were closing in on Hitler, he would make announcements about new field armies with units that no longer existed. Something makes me think this missile brigade is similar.

That’s one nice framing for: we need to get our remaining weapons outside of Ukraines range.

I think Russia has this backwards, countries join NATO because Russia is an aggressive imperialist shithole that can’t be cooperated with.

If Finland wanted to attack russia there is nothing they could do to stop it. Finland specializes in artillery and has one of the largest artillery armies in the world, which seems to be a direct counter to whatever it is russias meat wave army is doing.

Propaganda – to the Russians, Putin can say that he deployed weapons to the Finnish border to deter NATO; to westerners, Putin can say that joining NATO reduces your security. Either way, Medvedev will use this to slur his way through a nuclear weapon-related threat to Helsinki.

So, perhaps Reagan’s technique of bankrupting the USSR by building up our military was a great idea after all.

Fair enough. Stick your stupid missiles wherever you like as long as they stay on your side of the border. Nobody cares. Also, nobody gives a single flying turd about invading Russia. You’re welcome to it.

So its basicly „why would they do this? All we wanted was to rule them and show them the way! Like we did in ukraine!“

We’ve already established that NATO is fairly capable of shooting down missiles and drones so I’m not are what the point is.

If these missiles are as good as the rest they’re not a huge threath to a modern AA battery

Russians are going to do whatever the fuck they want to do no matter what other countries do. The excuse of “NATO expansionism” is just that – a bullshit excuse.
The Finns are smart for joining NATO. All Baltic nations would be very smart to prepare for war with Russia in the very near future. Anyone who says anything different is a fucking agent.

Both of my parents are Finnish and my Dad was born in Karelia when it was still Finland. If he was still alive today, he’d say one thing about the current situation with Russia.
“Told you so”.

I feel like russian reparations for its crimes against Ukraine should include losing Karelia and Kaliningrad. After it gives up Crimea and Sevastopol.
Tally914 on
Is this land named in honor of Alexander Karelin, most powerful man in human history?
It saddens me to know that he must be a Kremlin stooge if this land is named after him.

Welcome, bring them all I say.
1. Every Iskander next to our border is an Iskander not in or near Ukraine bombing civilians or participating in russia’s imperialist war of aggression.
2. If shit hits the fan, hitting stuff close to the border is actually easier than if they were stationed far away.
Ps. Funny how this is ”adequate” but just the prospect of Ukraine maybe some day joining is enough to start a war. Its almost like the whole NATO narrative is complete horseshit and the actual problem is Russian imperialism.

What? They gonna shoot their own troops again and then claim it was Finnish artillery?

Better placed there where it won’t do anything than in or close to Ukraine.

It has been nearly a century since the last time Finland kicked Russia’s ass.
Russia’s losses were 6:1 at the time and judging by their current meatwave tactics in Ukraine nothing much has changed since then lol

Good, every missile brigade in Finland is one missile brigade less used against Ukraine.

Whatever eats up more Russian military assets I guess. I wouldn’t mess with the Finns. I hear there’s a white death lurking in that country.
