Finland re-elected opponent to join NATO for a new presidential term

The current head of state, Sauli Niinistö, was elected President of Finland for a new term. Going to the elections as an independent candidate, Niinistö scored 62,7% of the votes, significantly beating all his rivals. Thus, Pekka Haavisto, a candidate from the opposition Union of the Greens, located on the second position, who is known for his non-traditional sexual orientation, has about 12,5%. In third place is the candidate from the True Finns party, Laura Huhtasaari. She has about 7% votes.

The inauguration of the Finnish president is to be held on February 1.

For the West, the victory of Sauli Niinistö against the background of the victory of Milos Zeman in the Czech Republic looks like a real fiasco. The fact is that both of these presidents hold very moderate views on the Russian Federation and advocate the development of productive partnerships with Moscow. At the same time, Sauli Niinistö is opposed to the entry of Finland into the North Atlantic military bloc.

It should be noted that in recent years, the pressure on Helsinki just from the side of NATO has been more than substantial. The purpose of pressure is the same: against the background of unwinding anti-Russian hysteria, try to draw Finland into NATO. At the moment, Finland has withstood.

Finland has resisted.

And what about her hanging around! She lives well near Russia!

[Grandfather]

they’re all on their minds ... today they don’t want, but tomorrow they’ll enter ...

The purpose of the pressure is the same: against the backdrop of unbridled anti-Russian hysteria, try to draw Finland into NATO. Finland has survived at the moment.

As long as she survived, common sense won, but what will happen next? The next time the pedrilka wins and jumps straight into NATO.

Do not want to be a target - a very understandable desire!
Their affairs, they don’t need our assessment, though ...

[ul_vitalii]

Reason prevailed, money for the development of the country, and not in the midst of the Cold War.

Have you heard about Russian hackers yet? Chet departed from the plan ...

They lived best under President Urho Kekkonen, who has been in contact with the KGB, and who has been in power for a quarter of a century. Therefore, they remember who is friend and who is enemy!

[Evil543]

Well, they remember the Russian tsars exactly, and they do not rename the streets named after them.

He was a good guy. The USSR made a competent move, handing Finland a "suitcase without a handle" - a base in Porkkala in 1955. Which, incidentally, added political points to Kekkonen, who soon became president. As a child, I remember, I was surprised - why is Finland a friendly, but not a socialist country?

[Mar.Tirah]

Once I met a Finn on a river. He loves to come to Siberia in the summer to drink vodka and thus relax. But he is cowardly to the horror. He saw my fish mark and was scared. He is the head of the prison, but they are all civil servants, so any police officer can punish him .Paradox! I had to reassure that in Russia this is not so.

It’s time for the Grand Duchy of Finland to return home, to their homeland, to the Russeyushka!

[Sergej1972]

From a legal point of view, the Grand Duchy was not part of Russia. It was a state that was inextricably linked with the Russian Empire and had a common head of state with it. And the money was mine, and its own separate customs territory.

“For the West, the victory of Sauli Niinistö against the background of the victory of Milos Zeman in the Czech Republic looks like a real fiasco.” Nonsense. What the “West” orders, they will do ..

[igorka357]

You shouldn’t be so, the Finns have always stood apart, the people are quite proud, and by the way, with brains in their heads, they remember the war with us, they don’t want to fight with us .. they’d better alliance with us, and why did you drag the mattress here! You are now the influence of the West Don’t spread it on everyone! And the Czechs also remember who they were when the USSR was, and what they became under the influence of the West!

[Rurikovich]

Yes, this is not an opponent of joining NATO, but relatively (in comparison with other "members" of Europe) a sober-minded person who understands what the country really needs and how to live with neighbors given by God

[igorka357]

Namely, you put it right to the point, and therefore this person understands that joining NATO does not bode well for them when such a neighbor is at hand!

[rotmistr60]

Sauli Niinistö ... advocate for productive partnerships with Moscow

I don’t know how in Finland, but in the Czech Republic, EU officials and of course the United States “moved” very actively against the incumbent president and did not hide this. In Finland, probably also tried. Today, the alignment in these countries can be said in our favor.

[igorka357]

Well, let's say not in ours, but at least not hostile!

[Herculesic]

Congratulations to the Finns with an adequate president!

[ul_vitalii]

A president with adequate Finns.

[demo]

Draw conclusions.
The composition of the population of Finland is divided into the following groups.
Opponents of joining NATO - 62.7%.
Non-traditional sexual orientation - 12.5%.
True Finns - 7%.
If you knew how many percent of the total number came to the polls, then it would be very cool.

[Alex-a832]

The Finns have a pragmatic approach. NATO is not only a military alliance, it is being drawn into it through economic ties. The EU is now, although slowly but falling apart, as the rich countries of the EU gobbled up the economies of weaker countries, equality and long prosperity did not work, the rich do not make sense to further feed the devastated ones. For the same reason, joining NATO has become meaningless. The Russian and Chinese threats are a myth for the layman, diligently supported by the ruling elites of the West and Western Europe. For example, at one time Turkey, aspiring to the EU, joined NATO, which did not have any benefit. I believe that the day is not far off when the NATO participants will begin to fall off actively, including and Turkey. This is one of the reasons why hysteria about the Russian and Chinese threats is escalating.

[HEATHER]

Sauli Niinistö He’s a smart guy. If ours is unsupported (which is unlikely), it will be hard for him. An adequate politician. And now, like Merkel and Macaron, I start to blame the states. Whether our people work, then (it is doubtful) their brains are being replaced.

[bald]

Normally, not everything in the world is corrupt. Let now blue greens tell about the Russian trace.

[bazzbazz]

Finns, although Europeans, are not fools. Che how to sit out again in the floor of neutrality)

[Sergej1972]

The only pity is that the role of the president in Finland has declined over the past twenty years.
