After the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, the Finnish authorities started talking about joining the North Atlantic Alliance. Moscow has already threatened retaliatory measures.

This was reported by the Russian propaganda publication RIA Novosti .

Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the International Committee of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, said that if Finland joins NATO, Russia will immediately respond.

“Finland’s accession to NATO would make it a target for Russian retaliatory measures,” Dzhabarov threatened.

  1. Before the Ukrainians, It Was the Finns Who Kicked Russia’s Ass.
    The apt comparison then is to Russia’s botched invasion of Finland in 1939. Before the Ukrainians established themselves as Europe’s fuck-around-and-find-out crew, that honor went to the Finns.
    Adolf Hitler convinced himself that the entire Soviet Union was a Potemkin contraption and is what inspired him to betray Stalin and mount Operation Barbarossa, his invasion of the Soviet Union
