Finnish Minister of Defense "Concerned about Russia's Military Activity"

44
Information Agency Rider announces that Finland intends to conclude a “framework agreement on military cooperation” with the United States. At the same time, the Finnish Minister of Defense Jussi Niinistö, speaking to reporters, said that such an agreement, according to Helsinki, could be concluded already this fall - before the presidential elections in the United States.

Finnish Minister of Defense "Concerned about Russia's Military Activity"




The Finnish minister says Finland is “concerned about Russia's military activity in the region.” In particular, Jussi Niinistö said that he was “concerned” that Russian military aircraft were flying over the Baltic Sea, allegedly with transponders turned off.

The head of the Finnish Defense Ministry said that military cooperation with the United States would cover the areas of military training and information exchange. According to Niinistö, contacts with the United States "do not go into the format of the North Atlantic relations." In other words, the Finnish Minister of Defense is trying to state that Finland still refuses offers to join NATO.

Against this background, the question arises: if the Finns are not going to join NATO, then why are they worried about the “military activity of Russia” and not worried about the military activity of the North Atlantic military bloc? One gets the impression that the necessary basis is also being created in Finland so that this state will eventually join NATO, despite all the current claims to the contrary.

        To everyone "concerned about Russia's military activity" ...

        There is such a hopeless country in our world,
        She is concerned about "human revelations".
        And the country is inhabited by a worried financial finder,
        In it, the problems of strangers lives with concern.

        Every day we see their concerns from the side.
        Concerned people ... a troubled country ...
        Preoccupation with motions, preoccupation with business,
        Overcome doubts in thoughts, in souls, in heads ...

    Dates are not stupid, especially half of Finland lives at the expense of St. Petersburg (we have regular shopping tours here in Finland, plus a lot of land and real estate were bought there). I understand that they are small and proud, but I do not think that they will get in touch with amers - it’s more expensive for themselves

          The difference is tiny: the Finns have a GDP of 41,000 dollars per person,
          Russians have 9,000 per person.

        Well, she also had a special status in the Republic of Ingushetia. Well, let's say she would not have left in 1917. But do you really think that the Central Asian republics would have left in 1991, but Finland remained?

        We are too different from each other.

    Finns need to pray for the health and prosperity of Russia! If they were not part of the Russian Empire, the Swedes would assimilate them, and there would be no Finland. And so for free in 1917 they gained independence. They would be happy, but to glorify Russia, so no, they are trying to crap.

    Finland "worries about Russia's military activity in the region"

    And these are already there. A couple of years ago, the Finns took a restrained position in relation to Russia. Today? This is what the brainwashing of the European mythological Russian threat means. This is not far from applying for NATO membership.

Cross the line And now the prospect of the Baltic states ... they also began with concern ...

    Well, now compare the size and population of countries! not bad indicators lead from what they add up. and how did the Finns achieve this.
    In your comments, you are constantly envious, "but how can you see them, or a friend from Germany says how great it is, but Russia sucks." For example, Finns are hard workers wondering what have you done to improve life or the level of development and work ability only allow you to look beyond neighbors and envy?

    I have such a friend, she likes to show how healthy abroad is, and what kind of government we have is bad, they don’t give him money. and how it does not develop production. The boy is 42 years old, has two higher educations, lives on retired mother. in the specialty for which he studied, they pay little, and to work as a simple worker zapadlo.


    regarding the article. I think that with such a development of events the Finns will have problems with the woodworking industry, and we have import substitution in another area.

    All EU defense ministers must first of all be concerned with the problem of countering refugees. If these "guests" raise a whirlwind, no matter what the police, all European armies will not seem a little. And they all look to the East longingly. Maybe they really want polite people to come and politely put things in order?

    Come on, in the sense of "ours" they were looking for somewhere better and found (well, if they already moved there) and now let them somehow worry about themselves, I was there passing through, talked, why did they move? Well, aunty, the owner of the "hotel" (multi-room barrack) answered so -Rashka fu! not living is not a business! ..

    Well, I don’t know the dock, because of the duty of working there I traveled there 10 times and went there for a couple of days, I’ll say that after the situation with our smaller brothers, the finns began to relate to us differently, at my own skin I tested at customs, drove a couple of times after the events of the 14th, they obviously began to have a different attitude, ordinary people can’t change their minds, but the service people (customs) certainly look at us differently, so to speak smile I immediately pay attention to such things, let’s say Lithuanian ones - they’re inspecting all such serious and evil ones, but they are pulling for miles smile Finnish ones - it seems that they haven’t changed and seemingly the same serious ones as they were, but the frost still blows and a feeling like turning on your back will certainly spit, it may seem to me, of course, but I trust my gut, rarely let it down, so I don’t I exclude a U-turn from Russia in the near future, and there you can’t see the forest from us through the window yet?

    Finns at heart intuitively feel that Finland is the country territory of Russia. So that is unlikely to enter.
