Nobody said they were about to invade Finland, just that their joining of NATO is a great idea that protects their own interests. So, precisely why it makes you so mad.
Why threaten Finland and Sweden then? Why care?Again, the Russians have been more than happy with Finnish neutrality over the years. The hysterical fearmongering that Russia is going to suddenly invade them for shits and giggles is laughable.
Who's he gonna call? Ghost Busters?Uh.....did you read the article? Putin didn’t say anything about Finland. A Russian spokeswoman literally just said that Russia would have to respond in some way if they joined NATO, and that that decision would have repercussions, which the Finnish prime minister herself pointed out. That’s a far cry from a threat of invasion.
Cry harder, comrade. Finland is joining NATO and clearly that pisses you off. You Russkies brought this on yourself and your tears are delicious.Read post 13 and then get back to me on that one bud

What repercussions could a large poor country bring that would send enough fear to Finland they'd refuse a NATO invite?

Russians have never been happy, with anything neutral over the years. They have quite the record of showing how unhappy they are. People said the same about Ukraine 6 months ago. Lucky Biden saw the forest through the trees.
Finland deciding to join NATO has nothing to do with fear mongering, especially from me. I think you radically overestimate how much influence I have over Finland.We’ll see bud. Finland pretty much said its keeping its options open as much as the Russians are.
But hey, maybe you can fearmonger some more, we know how much you love that

You may hate it, but nations have a right to defend themselves, tovarish.
If the US had already annexed Quebec and was currently involved in a military invasion of the rest of Canada, then yes, Mexico absolutely should ask the Chinese for a defensive alliance against US expansion.By that “logic”, just because America hasn’t been historically interested in annexing all of Mexico doesn’t mean it won’t suddenly wake up one day and decide it wants to, so Mexico should join the SCO and ask the Chinese to station large numbers of troops there

The US isn't currently invading Canada. Sweden and Finland shouldn't act on what Russia did centuries ago, but they should act on what Russia is doing right now before their very eyes. NATO membership is an absolute necessity for any country that is bordering Russia, unless they are interested in becoming a part of it.Historically speaking the US annexed over half of Mexico, conducted multiple “punitive” campaigns across the Mexican border, allowed law enforcement to likewise ignore the border and occasionally commit outright atrocities against Mexican citizens, and engaged in fearmongering over Mexican citizens “invading” the US, with the idea of fortifying the border being a popular one amongst numerous Americans.
Gee, once again, by your logic Mexico should ally with China tomorrow since you never know what the US might decide to do next

That's what I said. Historical fearmongering shouldn't factor in. Sweden and Finland shouldn't act on what Russia did centuries ago, but they should act on what Russia is doing right now before their very eyes. NATO membership is an absolute necessity for any country that is bordering Russia, unless they are interested in becoming a part of it.Hysterical fearmongering can’t change the facts, no matter how much you squirm.

Oh, it absolutely does. “Join NATO or Russia will invade you!” is the definition of fearmongering.

It isn't fear mongering. Russia is currently bombing the shit out of Ukrainian civilians and committing war crimes against the populace. This is an appropriate thing for Finland and Sweden to fear right now. Russia has proven it is capable of it.CURRENT fearmongering is entirely what you are doing....still.

Your argument is akin to telling lower middle class people not to lock their doors at night or buy firearms for self-defense, since there is no evidence that the burglar hitting houses in their neighborhood every night would want to target their house. You are behaving irresponsibly when you suggest that other countries have nothing to fear from Russia. Russia has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt that they absolutely DO have something to fear. Russia is expansionistic and willing to kill civilians to get what they want, and are actively threatening other nations with the same treatment.
You are on the wrong side of history on this one, friend.
The sheer mental incompetence of some members is only overshadowed by their obvious propaganda shortcomings.
God they are bad at this.
Yes, but they still have over 6000 nukes which everyone is afraid of.A hilarious threat to make for a number of reasons, the least of which is their current performance in Ukraine.

Stop with the sticking of your head in the sand and realize what the real threat the world is facing.Stop with the nuclear fear-mongering.
STILL waiting on that evidence of me being a “Stalinist” bud.
Funny how it’s yet to materialize. Hmm, I wonder why
