HELSINKI (AP) — Construction of a planned barbed-wired fence along Finland’s long border with Russia will start early next year, Finnish border guard officials said Friday, amid concerns in the Nordic country over the changing security environment in Europe. The initial three kilometer (1.8 mile) stretch of the fence will be erected at a crossing point in the eastern town of Imatra by the summer of 2023. It will eventually extend to a a maximum of 200 kilometers (124 miles). Finland’s 1,340 kilometer (832 mile) border with Russia is the longest of any European Union member. In October, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said there was consensus among lawmakers to build a fence to cover parts of border with Russia in a project that is estimated to cost a total of 380 million euros ($393 million) and scheduled to be completed by 2026. According to Marin, the fence’s main purpose would be to help border guards monitor and prevent possible large-scale illegal migration seen as a hybrid threat” from Moscow.

That's not a rebuttal. How about you actually clarify what the differences are, and why one would work and the other not.Wow, if those two things were alike that would be an amazing point.
One is a hostile neighbor and the other isn’t.That's not a rebuttal. How about you actually clarify what the differences are, and why one would work and the other not.
That's not a distinction on the efficacy of a fence.One is a hostile neighbor and the other isn’t.
It’s a distinction on the requirement for one.That's not a distinction on the efficacy of a fence.
Requirement for what? Something that doesn't work? Is there also a requirement for a football bat in your world?It’s a distinction on the requirement for one.
Perhaps “necessity” would have made more sense to you.Requirement for what? Something that doesn't work? Is there also a requirement for a football bat in your world?
Necessity for something that doesn't work? You keep trying to dodge the point but utterly failing.Perhaps “necessity” would have made more sense to you.
Your false equivalency is very stupid.
One wall is necessary, the other isn’t.Necessity for something that doesn't work? You keep trying to dodge the point but utterly failing.
But ya'll say they don't work, so why is something that doesn't work necessary? ****ing-A, your post is so stupid in it's flaccid attempt to dodge the point.One wall is necessary, the other isn’t.
Deerrrrrp.
Your argument is a straw man, and that’s why it’s stupid.But ya'll say they don't work, so why is something that doesn't work necessary? ****ing-A, your post is so stupid in it's flaccid attempt to dodge the point.
It won't stop the Russian military and is not intended to, but it will hamper any actions like what Belarus was pushing in 2021-2022.
Belarus Is Weaponizing Migrants Using Putin’s Playbook. Europe Must Legally Fight Back.
Belarus is using migrants to retaliate against the EU for sanctions. It's also using lawfare: law as a weapon of war. Here's how Europe can fight back and maintain the moral high ground.www.forbes.com
