  1. So Finland president pushing their own people in war with Russia.
    The same did Zelensky.
    Looks like politicians getting orders from the same center.

  2. So Finland president pushing to start a global war.
    If he knows Russia don't wanna NATO on their border,,,,, why Finland president doing this dangerous move?
    His sicret associations ordered him this,right?

  3. NATO is leading us like the pied Piper into ww3

  4. Look. Russia brought it upon itself. So stop mucking around, and get your balls together. There's no time for talks & diplomacy. Let's bring this gaddam putin & russia down.

  5. Accrdingly Russia isn't doing well therefore very little danger of invasion.NATO expansion endangers Russia. Be prepared for a nuclear pre-emptive strike.

  6. It was very risky to stay neutrality in the social politic of the whole world. Entering into a new Ara of freedom and existence is also danger but more military security as a country than Finland ever had before.

  7. The question is not how the white hats predicted this two years ago ( and the result) but why the Finnish leaders are ignorant to the intelligence they were given. youtu(.)be/Hd1Oh2CH65U
    I guess no one remembers Trump or his foolish statements 'isn't finland apart of Russia?' that wasn't a mistake. He was meeting Putin in helsinki after that.

  8. NOW is not the time for anyone to join NATO you War Mongering fools. Beta Leadership everywhere in the West with fools who don't understand Leadership & Negotiations, etc.

  9. History in the making this week and on monday we Sweden and Finland will send their application for NATO finally .

  10. Sweden can end the war now …. give Putin the ultimatum leave the Ukraine and they will not join Nato

  11. Cause and effect.
    Trump displays geography ignorance by asking if Finland is part of Russia.
    Russian invades Ukraine to stop expansion of NATO.
    Finland wants to join NATO.

  12. Can’t blame them for joining NATO at this point. This really has blown up in Putin’s face

  13. I recommend watching this video to all those who want to understand the true causes of the escalating armed conflict in Ukraine and its impact on countries around the world (you need to turn on English subtitles in the settings). It’s a powerful speech by the President of Belarus during the celebration of the Victory of the Soviet Union in World War II on May 9, in which he addressed not only his citizens but also people from all over the world.

  14. Russian soldiers killing innocent elderly people then looting, and getting drunk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GUrNPPTSWM

  15. 😂😂 this poor unsecure countries,they think NATO is "God"you are just begging to be slave and work for Monopoly elite.

  16. I can't blame them from wanting to join NATO. After Russia invaded georgia and annexed Crimea and Funded pro Russian terrorist in Donbass region to cause havoc and use it as an excuse to finally invade Ukraine. Even I would be concerned about the security of my own country especially Finland's neighbor is Russia.

  17. Hej hej! Suomi! Hyva!!

    Love from the Czech Republic to Finland!

  18. Thank you for your soldiers and a generous annual contribution to the defense budget, Finland.

  19. 🏆 🇺🇲 GO JOE BIDEN 🇺🇸 🏆

    THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO STAND UP TO PUTIN AND NOT COWER TO HIM LIKE TRONALD DUMP DID FOR 4 YEARS AT THE USA'S 🇺🇸 EXPENSE

    THANK YOU ! 🇺🇲

  20. Putin must be an NATO Agent. He's making NATO bigger and stronger than it's ever been. It wouldn't surprise me if one day he get a medal for it in Brussels and laughed at the Russians from there: Haha, that was all planned.
