How will all the chicken hearts at home who are always scared we'll anger Putin handle it? Will this cause another mental health crisis in the US like Trump winning the Presidency in 2016?

The dems had better not fuck it up.

Give a day long membership to try NATO out..........

BRUSSELS—Testing the waters before committing to a more permanent status within the group, Finland and Sweden confirmed Thursday they were evaluating their possible membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with a complimentary one-day guest pass. “It’s nice to get a taste of what it’s like to have the full military backing of the Western Alliance, even if it’s just for a day,” said Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin, who, along with Swedish prime minister Magdalena Andersson, expressed appreciation for the opportunity to experience NATO’s mutual-assistance treaty before making a commitment to devote 2% of her nation’s gross domestic product to military expenditures. “The day pass is only good for one session with a personal military trainer, which kind of sucks. But NATO is committed to repelling any invasion that occurs during the 24-hour trial period, so that’s cool. I’d probably feel a bit self-conscious being in a collective defense pact with all these big, strong military powers, but if Iceland and Luxembourg aren’t intimidated, I guess we shouldn’t be, either.” At press time, Marin and Andersson both reported feeling insecure about having to walk around NATO headquarters with large stickers on their shirts that said “Guest.”

I think there should just be an open invitation to any nation that borders Russia or that has been threatened by them.

Finland is by far the BEST nation to have on our side. And who cares, you're not SCARED of Russia, are you?

Well kissing their asses and appeasing them didn't work. They didn't like the carrot so I guess it's time for the stick.

Russia has nothing to fear from NATO unless they invade another country and they know it.

Finland is so small it doesn't really offer a whole lot to the alliance but I am glad to have them join.

Small, but mighty. Their weapons are top notch since they live next door to you know who... Their soldiers are highly trained, and they have the worlds best camouflage. They've proven themselves in WWII.

Apparently, they have nothing to fear from NATO if they do.

Well since that's what Russia has been demanding, it would absolutely be kissing their asses.

The more nations in Europe join NATO the less likelihood of anther war there will be.

I know something of their military and arms industry. They are both top notch but in the numbers game they just can't bring a lot to the table and Finland would not be a good place really to try to base troops in a buildup for a potential invasion due to the geography and weather conditions.

That part of the North Sea is a real bitch in the fall, winter, and spring.

You clearly know nothing. Stop posting.

Learn the history of NATO.

Do you think we would allow the Warsaw Pact to put their military on our borders with Canada and Mexico?

Hypocrite.
