We the finns actually made a favor to the baltic states by NOT joining during the nineties. If we had joined to NATO, Eesti, Latvia, Lithuania would have been in our responbsibility in defence. That´s what NATO was proposing during those days.
So this has become the new Finlandised catch phrase to use. Pathetic.
If we had joined Nato, we'd angered Russia. That's what it really means. We'd end our "special" relations, our neutrality. It's so funny how Finns like to think we have some weird "special" relationship with Russia? Where? In our Finlandised dreams, that's where.
You are a young man with lack of historical perspective (And I am not saying this for trying to belittle you, the thing just shows in your opinions).
I'm not saying you're a fucking cunt, it just shows in your opinions. You worthless fuck. Have no respect for people like you.
Nowadays we have been more finlandisationized towards United States than we were towards the USSR. The thing is very simple: we should have not let any politician to drive down our own army. Now those who have been doing it through the years are promoting NATO to cover up their own idiotism. Well, it seems to work for some of you guys...
More Finlandised towards the US? Ahahaha. Fucking hell it never ends with you butthurt Finns, does it? Any way you can you try to divert focus from the wrong doings done during the time of Finlandisation. Any way you can so that the truth wont come out. You'd rather live in the Finnish lie of "friendly" relations with Russia, "special" relations with Russia, "neutrality", "believable" defence. All the same Finlandised nonsensical fairy tales repeated year after year, time after time.
Who are the people the most in favour of getting rid of the military? People like Tarja Halonen and Erkki Tuomioja. Deeply Finlandised reds. Very anti Nato. Why is the Centre party so anti Nato? Because they've got such deep roots with Finlandisation. We have old Finlandised fossils like Paavo Väyrynen spouting pro-Russian propaganda. Why can't we get rid of these people? The intelligence services isn't going to do much with their own Finlandised history. The politicians like to keep it silent.
Neutrality is idiotism. It didn't work in 1939. It wont work in the future either. We need allies.
