Russia says Finland, Sweden could face consequences if countries move to join NATO
A Russian official on Friday issued a warning to Finland and Sweden should both nations intend to join NATO, saying such moves would have "serious military-political repercussions."
During a news briefing, Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova made the remarks as Russian forces continue to battle the Ukrainian military following an unprovoked invasion into the neighboring country.
"Finland and Sweden should not base their security on damaging the security of other countries and their accession to NATO can have detrimental consequences and face some military and political consequences," she said in a video clip.
Russia Sends Bone-Chilling Message To Sweden & Finland; Threatens ‘Military Implications’ If They Go The Ukraine Way
On Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg invited Sweden and Finland to attend a NATO virtual summit on the situation in and around Ukraine on Friday. On the same day, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said that Finland will be ready to join NATO “if the issue of national security becomes acute.”
Now why would a country want to join NATO? I can’t think of a single reason.
And if the Ukraine joined a year ago, it wouldn’t have been invaded.The Finns would be extremely stupid to consider joining NATO now since that is the exact reason why Ukraine was invaded.
And to those that think Finland won the Winter War, you'd be sadly delusional since Finland had been beaten so badly they ended up ceding more territory to Russia than Stalin had initially asked for.
Tell that to all the Russian troops that are currently residing 6 feet under the soil.The Finns would be extremely stupid to consider joining NATO now since that is the exact reason why Ukraine was invaded.

Russia would have invaded last year then.And if the Ukraine joined a year ago, it wouldn’t have been invaded.
Didnt matter how many Russians they killed because there were a lot more that just kept on coming. The Finns sitll lost that war. Its fact.Tell that to all the Russian troops that are currently residing 6 feet under the soil.
And the Russians could just keep extending..and taking losses, and having their finances ruined.Russia would have invaded last year then.

It is the standard psycopathic tactic from Putin. There are just too many psychopaths leading nations in the world right now. Putin is one. Xi is another. Kim Jong-un is a third.Okay...so let me get this straight:
-Putzin doesn't want Finland and Sweden to join NATO.
-So he goes and threatens them.
-And after seeing what the bastard is doing to Ukraine, guess what Finland and Sweden will end up doing to protect itself: Join NATO.
Talk about stupid counterproductive rhetoric on Putzin's part.
There was zero prospect of Ukraine joining NATO anytime soon. Not even on the agenda. Putin invaded to rebuild the Soviet bloc. If Ukraine did anything, it warched across the Polish border as they got better off and strove to catch up. That's the last thing Putin wants on Russia's border.The Finns would be extremely stupid to consider joining NATO now since that is the exact reason why Ukraine was invaded.

If they were a member and he invades article 5 is enacted and NATO goes to war with Russia. This isn't the USSR...Russia would have invaded last year then.

He is obviously one insecure little bitch.Well, Putin is worried about his security.

But, as MTAtech pointed out IF they joined a year ago, Russia would not have invaded.Ukraine isn't a member of NATO.
