Just like they say hopefully the can join fast a swiftly……
Hey Finland, does it worth it to please US by joining NATO while loosing:
-Electricity supply from Russia
-Gas supply from Russia
-Loosing freight traffic passage through Saimaa Canal
-Loosing neutrality status and as a result Russian "Islander" missiles are already on the way to Finland border
-Lost very generous Russian tourists and many more…
What do you get from NATO membership? Military bases with lots of army ammunition and as a result potential target for Russian rockets.
Stupidity doesn't have boundaries…
Turkey should not accept the application until NATO members lift the military arms sales embargo imposed against Turkey, especially the USA, Germany and Sweden, and cut off arms aid to Kurdish groups in Syria that threaten Turkey's territorial integrity.
The entry of Finland and Sweden into NATO means World War III and the nuclear war The Ukraine war showed that Russia would not allow its neighbors to join NATO The entry of Finland and Sweden into NATO will lead to a war between the West and NATO against Russia And it will drag the war to central and western Europe It should be logical and Russia should not be provoked The presence of Sweden and Finland in NATO is an emotional decision Sweden and Finland can not help NATO much, but they can be the biggest problem in NATO history Russia is indirectly fighting the West in Ukraine Certainly Russia prefers to fight the West directly instead of fighting Ukraine The entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO could be a good reason for Russia to start a direct war with the West Accepting Finland and Sweden as members of NATO could be the biggest mistake in NATO history And it could even lead to the destruction of NATO and World War III And surely the third world war will be a nuclear war The security of NATO and Europe is more important than the security of Finland and Sweden Accepting Finland and Sweden in NATO is a foolish act Russia has shown that it is not joking with anyone for its security
Russia should become itself neutral and get out of ukrania and georgia
NATO stands for North Atlantic Terrorist Organization, with the A$$( Anglo SaxonS) as the axis of all evils. You're watching a terrorist speaking.
200 years of neutrality gone. Why do weak leaders always need company? Or is it a sign that most female leaders needs someone else to protect them, I thought times has changed in girl power movement.
Finally Finland and Sweden apply membership first world country gang, after years being third world country
German Chancellor Angela Merkel blocked "Ukrainian bid" from immediately joining NATO in 2008; it was a big mistake: *Angela Merkel is a WAR CRIMINAL, she's responsible for all the atrocities in Bucha.* Send Angela Merkel to the International Criminal Court in the Hague!
Is Erdogan going to make the same mistake as Merkel??
All the wars in Ukraine are caused by Angela Merkel:
1. Invasion of Crimea.
2. Russian backed Rebellions in Donbass
3. The by Russian missiles shooting down of Flight MH17 from 10km altitude: Ukrain doesn't have missiles to shoot down Russian helicopters and planes that are flying very low over Ukraine, so you know who shot MH17 from 10km altitude.
Hopefully there will be no conflicts on the border, as nations on both sides have common historic/prehistoric relatives – Uralic Folks/Languages.
Whyβs Russia not allowed to join NATO?
Within the next 20 years, Ukraine and Belarus will be in NATO as well.

No political leader has ever been able to unite the US, Europe, NATO and triple NATO defense budgets without protest. He even brought China and the West closer to each other Thank you for your efforts wannabe Tsar Vlad PutinΒ ;-)))
So who do you think Finland or Sweden will be the next Eurovision winner !?
I was shocked by the ignorance of the people in the comment section. Whether Finland joins NATO or not is entirely a bargaining chip for the United States to negotiate with Putin in Ukraine, understand? Finland is not eligible to choose whether to join NATO or not, they just follow orders. Once Russia compromises in Ukraine, Finland's entry into NATO will not be brought up again.
But why they not include Ukraine in to nato ππ
Lebih cepat lebih bagus finlandia sweden masuk nato.singkirkan turki dari natoππ
Next: Timor Leste, Tonga, Zimbabwe, Tuvalu, Zambia, Uruguay, Burundi, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Tommy Lee Jones …
Turki musuh dalam selimut Nato, dan akan menghambat kemajuan NATO. NATO harus berhati-hati terhadap turki
Putin already explained that Russia has no problem for Finland and Sweden to apply for NATO. Russia won't take action, because Turkey will stop it.
Putin reminded that Russia will only take action when NATO started to "weaponize" those countries near Russia's border. It happened in Ukraine. The reason Russia soldiers surrounded Mariupol's steel plant, mainly due to there are NATO's generals inside the plant, which is the master mind behind the suffering of Donbass's region.
Soon even Afghanistan might surpass Findland and Sweden as most happy country to live.
Remember that Russia actually was having peaceful relationship with almost all Europe's countries. Hundreds companies from EU established their base in Russia without problem. The peak of the great relationship between Russia and Europes when Germany and Russia built Nord Stream 2 pipeline which boost and prosper both nations.
And guess which country doesn't like the situation: A good, peaceful relationship between Russia and Europe nations? Yes. USA.
Without the continuous provocation from USA-led NATO, Europe region will continue to have peace and prosper. But I guess, Europe's leader prefer damaging Europe's region just to please USA.
Turkey will block this.
Finland Norway Sweden
New World Order
The only solution to have peace in Europe is that NATO accepts that Russia joins NATO:-
A historic step for Europe.

If Turkey tries to prevent Sweden and Finland from joining NATO then Turkey should be given the boot from NATO. Turkey's authoritarian government is a disgrace to NATO and is ill suited to continued membership with NATO which is meant to protect the free world from threats and support free democratic nations, not illiberal anti-democratic authoritarian ones.
United we stand divided we fall against tyranny this way it'll put Putin back in his lane or get pounded on if he screws with anyone else
Thank God for turkey not letting them join NATO the US and everybody else including NATO would like nothing more than World War 3 in a nuclear war a few countries still have actually some common sense one of them is certainly not ours
Congratulations Russia now instead of having 3 countries join Nato you only have 2 countries joining Nato. Well done Putin reducing the threat to protect your sovereign nation from Western hypocrisy.
Congratulations Finland and Sweden! π

Just think Putin, they wouldn't be doing this if you hadn't of made the barbaric, evil decisions that you've made. Your "special military operation" has well and truly backfired. You really thought you could do this to Ukraine and the world would stand by and do nothing? You're a bigger fool than I thought
