“People say that Finland’s NATO membership will put Russia at a disadvantage, but in reality it only creates problems for Helsinki,” said a military expert on the air of YouTube channel Danny Haiphong.
For Finland, even an attempt to attack Russia or take provocative measures would be suicide, Ritter is convinced. He stressed that Russia, if necessary, can easily increase its military presence on the borders to ensure the security of its territory.
Earlier, Seppo Varjus, a columnist for Ilta-Sanomat, said that Finland would regret joining NATO because of an imaginary “threat” from the Russian Federation. “Today’s election may be regretted much later,” he said. Finland, Varjus emphasized, joined NATO not for ideological reasons, but because of an alleged “growing threat” from Russia.
