As Russia intensifies its assault on eastern Ukraine, it now says it views Finland’s plan to join NATO as a threat. Finland shares more than 800 miles of border with Russia and has been neutral for decades. Sweden is expected to follow. President Zelenskyy said in a speech overnight that if Ukraine had been a part of NATO, there would have been no war.

Putin is going to do whatever Putin wants to do… and nobody is going to do anything about it.
Ukraine and Finland have done something about it.
Zelensky is right.
Russia talks a big game while the rest of the world watches them struggle with one poorly equipped neighbor. That Russian bear has rubber teeth.
Reading west propaganda too much or vaccinated 5th time ?
Have you seen the map lately ? Crunching ukro nszis … but you do not see it.
@tokyo peking for real bro, look up gore sites full of video clips of US & British volunteers getting blown up by BTRs
@oceanwavesandcocaine
Yes.
Future dictionaries will probably label this as “doing a Putin”: Your actions produce the exact opposite outcome of what you were trying to achieve. 🙄😂
Omg this has to become a thing!!!
Yeah, don’t pull a Putin. 😁
This morning, I took a “Putin”, after drinking coffee.
Putin has to go, period. An attack on Finland would most likely start a nuke war which no one wins. One drops and end of everyone’s everyday lives. Gas hits $20 a gallon if you can find it. Since no one will be working during a war , no food or anything to gather. Sad state our world is in.
Pffffttt!!
How Can We be Sure Russia’s Telling the Truth even after the Winter War in 1939? Beside on attack on one new possible NATO Member, is an Attack on all 30 or Possibly 32 Members.
Putin and Russia insist on being petulant and puerile in its relationship with what are more mature level-headed nations. And so what does Russia do in the latest move made by sovereign independent nations? It throws a temper tantrum!!
Russia needs a major change in its leadership, a transformation of its society from an anachronistic Communist/Imperialist mentality that sees enemies all around them and imagining they’re on the verge of being invaded on a daily basis. This is childish and absurd for adults to think and fantasize in this manner. Conservative forces have always from Biblical times to the present feared change and new ideas. And when the status quo Religion shows itself incapable of adjusting to change, that’s when Religion MUST be renewed!!! The Russian Orthodox Church—and indeed all of previous Religions—are not mandated by God to remain viable in the face of new changes in a constantly-evolving social order and human capacity/sensibilities.
Russia pretends to be *peacekeepers*.
(Matthew 24:3) “While [Jesus] was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: ‘Tell us, when will these things be, . . . and of the conclusion of the system of things?”
(Luke 21:10,11) “he said to them: ‘Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another, food shortages and pestilences;'”
(Matthew 24:14) “And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
Everything is happening exactly as the Bible described. Nobody can stop prophecy.
(Isaiah 55:8,11) “‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not mine,’ declares Jehovah. ‘So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, and it will have sure success in what I send it to do.'”
written by men
Bluffing Russians lol
Dear President Putin, just nuke Helsinki before they join. They have already declared Russia to be their adversary. Might as well get it over with. Just do it.
Russia can’t take over Ukraine so how they will take over Finland. Russia military is weak
Traitorous neighbor who had always been neutral since ww2.
Another fact about the conflict in ukraine, lately western propaganda to russia is getting more massive, as if russia is eager to expand its territory, to be honest this is because western europe is under pressure from ukraine, related to gas pipelines from russia to western europe through ukraine, ukraine.threatens western europe by cutting or destroying the gas pipeline from russia to western europe, which runs through ukraine territory, if western europe does not support and reject all ukraine requests, either in the form of propaganda, or arms support (this is.scheming, and actual blackmail) perpetrated by the ukraine government, but there must be a “director” behind this.
According to a Turkish analyst on a television channel installed in Turkey.
Turkey is against Finland joining NATO.
Turkey accuses Finland of supporting the Kurdish PKK.
Turkey demands to obtain Finland’s recognition of the PKK as a terrorist organization before voting in favor of Finland’s entry into NATO.
knowing that the vote is unanimously of the members.
That’s what the Turks want.
Anyway they always play double games.
TURKY ? HAHAHAHA NOBODY CARES WHAT TURKEY SAYS OR DOES
@King Salmon
Turkey already says NO, so better start CARING
Turkey’s economy is in ruins at the moment. I see this as a means to extract a help package from EU/NATO countries.
@King Salmon are you sure? They are second powerful country in Nato they navigate black sea they are in syria in Afghanistan in africa. Their strategical location maybe far more important than 80% of other Nato members.
@Ali Aliyev oh yeah – absolutely sure !!
Make the Black Sea warship free!
We never should have let Putler take the nuclear threat imitative!
Nuc Putler’s soil and take his oil! Rebuild Ukraine with the income!
Stop ascribing any noble objective to Putler wanting to protect Russia. He wants the resources and wealth for him and his oligarchs.
NUKULARATE PUTLER NOW! We cannot watch a blitzkrieg, genocide and a holocaust being committed by Putler. Get it over with.
This will not end except with the new clear annihilation of Moscow.
MAD = Moscow’s Absolute Destruction. This is where autocracy verses the right to self determination ends. Get it over with now!
Well lets hope US and its minions won’t be bothered if Chinese make base in cubac.
What more do you expect from a former KGB Thug!
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌✌✌
The big set up for nwo, plan as day people.
They are struggling in Ukraine. They definitely don’t want to see no Finnish hands. No shot against a professional army like Finland..
Finland was neutral, so didnt need an army!
@Yan Liew If you know anything about Finland, they are one of the best defensive nations in the world.
Stay strong Russia enemy is taking over
Good. Peace will be restored. Ukraine will win.
stay strong??? 🤣😂😂😂keep being weak naZi
I never agreed with 99% of Trump’s ideas. But I agreed with him in that NATO is a Bad Deal.
what ideas?
Not anymore— NATO is solid now —- hard lessons learned
Why?
When history and the future collide
The world needs a cleansing
Putin is so desperate he has hijacked the glory of these veterans to serve his own purpose of aggrandizing this war in Ukraine. Russian forgot the Ukrainian solders that fought side by side with Russian solders to repel the Nazi’s. Putin also forgot how without the help of the US and Britain, they were destined to be defeated. Putin is a disgusting war revisionist who wants all the attention and glory even though he has fought no wars or did anything great. I am tired to hearing his name. May he be erased and completely forgotten by history and by his own children. If he were my father or grand father I would be completely ashamed and would disown him as my father.
What is a THREAT Russia is you all killing the innocent people of Ukraine by aggression. Just back off.
Russia threatens you with nukes if you insult Putin nipples. Its getting kind of predictable by now.
The equipment of their Military malfunctions like, ALL the time.
They do not have the wherewithal to retaliate militarily.
Countries that joined Nato are war hungry.
Death
You have killed people Putin, your threats are nothing. You even think about coming at us, we have a special surprise for you
You just has to pick seven reasons to attack someone.
Just calm down.
Europe and Russia is two sides of coin.
Stay together and progress.
If you are staying on positive thoughts. Your progress may keep developing countries on right move and also upgrade their life style.
Don’t depend of third country’s advise. May be negativity in your driving country.
God bless. Stay on true path.
Finland was not a part of the former Soviet union, so it could remain neutral or join nato!
Hello everyone, I’m posting a video about what is happening in Russia and Ukraine, come in if you are interested. Peace for everyone.
Russia still does not understand the basic consequences of its actions. Such a stupid and arrogant beahviour..
Why?? Why would finland join NATO. It will only further escalate the situation.
Yea for Russia.
@Fivestar811 you forget their actions impact the world collectively too.
No matter how much evidence and proof is presented, showing Ukrainian Nazis killing Ukrainian citizens and Russian prisoners, NBC will blame Russia. The will never ever accuse Nazis.
Kremlins response to whoever look em in the eye and calls out their BS is mass murder, intimidation and slavery….at least NATO eventually will make time for their games
No one cares what the *lil* dictator in Russia wants at this point.
Putin lost already. He brought shame on Russia by exposing her military as a mock superpower. After this war Ukraine Will join NATO in a colourful way. If only they had needed weapons …. Russia is no match for Ukraine in combat.
I’ve looked high and low for footage of the Kremlin making these “retaliatory vows” but so far no lasagne 🤷
*Edit:
I am not “Pro Russia” in any way, I am fully behind Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, and any other country opposed to Russian aggression and this horrendous war.
I simply want to watch the videos of Russia making these threats, which I have searched for but haven’t successfully found yet
@tokyo peking no I don’t find it a joke, and I am 100% behind Ukraine AND Finland… I simply want to watch the videos of the Russians threatening Finland.
Now get your prematurely assuming self out of here
Right move after years of threatening by Russia
BIDEN: IT’S DONALD TRUMPS FAULT
Probably was. Remember when He refused weapons to Zelinski when he said there was no dirt on Joe
The Game plan
https://youtu.be/f9Q19QJpJ4s
NUKE EM!! NUKE EM!!
Thanks for watching lies,
What next Lithuania and Belarus?!?
Another joke. You must not mess with the Fins. You tried it before. The winter war you swore never again.
Russia cant even win against ukraine, imagine if they attacked other countries at the same time
What if Nuclear is blown up completely?
Russia is in no position to dictate us. We all have our rights. If Finland wants to join, they certinaly can and we’ll happily take them in. God bless 🇫🇮.
But if Sovereign Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons, USA has a problem with it.
If Sovereign Cuba wants to buy nuclear weapons from Russia, USA has a problem with it.
@Manash Mahanta Sure man, that’s why you are here, on a US developed and owned website, having the time of your life.
Russia can’t even take Kiev and they want to retaliate? Lol
Roosia neve, ever said they will take KYEV.
But they said they will “clear” Donbass from nazis.
Just look at map what they did.
Jesus Christ is Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to Salvation
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved Repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved
Putin said : no choice I got to boom you too as escalating and Nato threatening Russia with USA as head. I got to boom you too first. As Nato failed in agreement no one inch towards East toward Russia…. Putin will boom these countries before confirmation accepted into Nato… thats will be sure..
Aww poor Putin hates not getting his way . Ukraine has proven Russian military is very weak . As far as Russia afraid of nukes on its doorsteps have they forgot that all US and NATO nukes can hit anywhere across the globe?? Russia is worried about NATO putting defense systems that could take out there Nukes before they went nuclear . Russia wants everyone to fear them but no one is afraid of them.
Putin is trying to chastise anyone who joins NATO !
Nokia needs to make weapons now
AMERICA PROUD TO SPONSOR WORLD WAR 3.. GOODBYE HUMANITY…
NATO will destroy very soon
🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Putin, don’t mess with Finland.
FEAR THE RUSSIAN BEAR !! DO NOT PROVOKE THE RUSSIAN BEAR !! THE RUSSIAN BEAR WILL CONSUME YOU !! TRUMP STRONG LIKE MANLYMAN POOTIN & TALIBANS
Russia: Allow us to be able to threaten you or um, we will threaten you
It should be obvious that the “Putin Doctrine” is now in place. After allowing Poland (1999) and the Baltic states (2004) – countries bordering on Russia’s Western frontier – Putin drew a red line that resulted him in attacking Georgia after the Georgians became a NATO “partner.” And now…Ukraine. Unfortunately, the West has its own “NATO Article V Doctrine” in which Article V of the NATO Charter has been “amended,” i.e. any country APPLYING for NATO membership that gets attacked will result in NATO declaring that such attack is an attack on ALL NATO members – even before the treaty papers are signed. Jesus Christ! We are falling down a well that has rocks at the bottom and those rocks are H-bombs. We are whistling at night alongside the graveyard.
Remember the October 15, 1969 Vietnam War Moratorium Day? Well, lets have a Wednesday June 1, 2022 Ukrainian War Moratorium Day to be held at 5 P.M. local time in America, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, East Asia and Australasia, marked by speeches and town meetings. The next day, June 2nd, we should send millions of e-mails and phone calls to banks, corporations and governments worldwide. Of course, the Vietnam Moratorium failed and so will this one.
If we want to do something then we should TAKE OUR MONEY OUT OF BANKS not sending million e-mails.
@tokyo peking you don’t have any money🤣😂😂
Yes naZi it needs to happen in Russia
What’s he gonna do, nuke us lol
Goood luck Finland haha
Good luck naZi
Russia can’t cash the check it’s about to get.

Why are people fighting in Ukraine when Putin is in Russia? STOP THE WAR.
Why do Americans shoot 44 other Americans each day? PUT THE GUNS DOWN.
Why are Trump’s trials taking so long? JAIL TRUMP.
Why does America ignore 1,026,249 Covid deaths? WEAR MASKS & VACCINATE.
Good for Finland.
Finally all country’s gonna put Russia in it’s place
In Myanmar the coupe commit thousands of war crimes they should look into that
Now is a good time to join NATO. Russia is tied up in Ukraine.
Russians are so awesome…♥️🇷🇺 All the lying news about Russia makes me like them even more.
Welcome to the world of propaganda, misinformation and journalistic dramatization. You should be talking about peace and possibility of ending war in Ukraine, not fanning the flame.
Lmao.
First finished off Ukraine and eliminate its threats to Russia security then switch attention to Finland where it has a huge border line with Russia. This will be another point where NATO can use to threaten Russia security.
They look like poo in their battle against Ukraine if the world comes after them they will just walk right over them
it is a volatiles nato agreement with Russia you can’t quite blame Russia.
And the bluffs have been called.
So what.
Chickenshits.
The president of Finland has lost his mind and needs to be treated by a witch doctor.

👵Ask Zelenskyy where he got the 80 million dollars he made last year, corruption follow corruption, and is not just Joe Biden and every Democrat senator there are GOP corrupt senator visiting Zelenskyy now. According to this fake news channel, and every other fake new channel Russia already lose the war and is shooting at houses after 30,000 Russian soldiers killed by NATO or Ukraine, I see the same breach video in every news channel for days now, and is not propaganda noo, noo. Every other channel that report on the side of Russia has been taken out of the air by the dictatorships of the USA and the European Union👱♀
Russian playing the role of Earl, the crazy abusive ex masterfully. Earl’s gotta die
Finland to Vladimir Putin: PERKELE
Kaliningrad should split from the evil Russian Federation after a referendum.
Everything is a treat to Russia 🇷🇺 even it’s own people. Why wouldn’t Finland 🇫🇮and Sweden 🇸🇪 not join NATO. If TRS PUTIN IS KILLING HIS OWN PEOPLE!!! What guarantees does any country have with Russia 🇷🇺! It invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦 after it got ride of all of its nuclear ☢️ weapons. Russia 🇷🇺 said it would never invade but yet here we are!
drasolowlah shaytan
yawa Satanas diablo
Russia will always keep doing this,if u always keep doing is to defend.
Well the USA only has a few more countries to go and all of the former Warsaw Pact will be part of NATO. Why doesn’t anyone want to be part of a Russian defense alliance? China isn’t helping Russia they are like a scared little girl afraid to take on the USA. Now we know China even knows they would be wrecked by the USA.
putin thinks nato are scared of russia because thay have the most nuke bombs. well news flash putin we are not scared and if he wants to start a nuke war then go ahead because russia are gonna loose eather way. im happy finland are joining nato
