Finland announces intention to join NATOhttps://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uk-signs-security-treaty-with-sweden-and-finland-z30k29ccf
The Soviet Union stole 9& of Finland's territory following the Winter War of 1939-40.
I think steal is the wrong word. They acted in self defence. Finland at the time was closely allied to Hitler and Finland was of strategic importance to the USSR.
Didn't Finland have certain ores needed by Germany? Rings a bell that Hitler warned against Russian aggression towards the Fins. They fought well against Russia - I wonder if Germany supplied them.
It was iron ores in Sweden and Norwegian sea ports that Germany needed. The "territorial and political rearrangement" of Finland was set out in Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. The Fins done well in the winter war because the Red Army was in an abysmal state. Hence why Germans done well initially in 1941.
Steroids have driven the man insane.
He was insane to invade. But I believe they're right, regarding their concerns about the US trying to run the world. I think the stress of this war will kill Putin. He doesn't look too clever (in a physical sense) - his face seems swollen?
Why is it that nobody appears to be perturbed by Putin's threats of a nuclear disaster against this country ?The man is gone in the head but is more than capable of carrying out a " spur of the moment " attack.
He could order anything in his ailing disposition. One hopes that his underlings have enough nous to exercise restraint. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/russia-threatens-to-use-satan-2-hypersonic-nuclear-missile-to-strike-britain/ar-AAXgGBy?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=ab893823c42443af84072748540d87e0
