Finland sacrificing its neutrality to try and join NATO was a phenomenally idiotic move.

I just don't want a fucking nuclear war man.

You'd think that wouldn't be too much to ask, and yet here we are.

I just ~~don’t~~ want a fucking nuclear war man.

We cannot cave in just because one country points at nukes, and Russia hasn't made a direct threat either. This shit and all the Russian tv-shows with bedlamites talking about nuking Britain are made purely to spread fear. Just change side and go back to sleep.

You are an insane person who is willing to kill billions of people for your ideology.

@yogthos

@yogthos@lemmy.ml:

I don't really see why people think there's any real significance to Finland or Sweden joining NATO as these countries don't have any significant military power.

Apparently, enough signifiance to cause the moving of Russian nukes to the Finnish border ...

Of course Russia will respond to such a provocation. However, that doesn't mean that the situation has fundamentally changed. Had Russia attacked Sweden or Finland in the past, the response from NATO would've been exactly the same as it would be had they been accepted.

I think that's less than certain. Who's to say that NATO's response wouldn't be closer to the Ukraine war, keeping a strong thumb on the scale while avoiding escalations that might lead to Russia launching nukes? I don't think anything less than a treaty obligation would pull NATO in.

I love how Russia couldn't do a thing about it during these 5 months. Do you realize how bad you look posting this controversial news? Does anyone give you any benefit of the doubt?

It's not my fault that you have an infantile understanding of the subject you're attempting to yap about.

[–] graphito@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everything's someone else's fault in your life init? when push comes to shove everything's is beyond your control.

Such humongous ego but unable to own any errors of yours, even when pointed to

That's a self referential comment if I ever saw one.

Lol but the solution isn't to accept everything what the Russia is doing sometimes you have to play the psycho game

Ah yeah, let's just have a nuclear holocaust to show Russia off.
