"Finland being just one sauna away from NATO" Finland Foreign Affairs

About Finland being just one sauna away from NATO:
"Basically overnight, a pro-Russian and pro-Chinese Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee Mikaniikko was replaced by Halla_aho, a long-time advocate of NATO membership, PhD, fluent in Ukrainian.

The tide is turning!
"
**************************




****************
(Is This why Sen Rand Paul is STILL holding up funding the Israeli Iron Dome, the one voted to approve in the House?
Because Israel is also a NATO country.)

Wonderful! But Finland needs to restore the Mannerheim Line and put the Iron Dome along the border with the Russian Federation. The Winter War must not be repeated.

Historically Finland may not always win but Russia always bleeds a lot.

Replies say what you say also.


"Finland has a decent record fighting Russian soldiers."

"Finland showed Russians back then whatsup. Russians want more?))"

Although eventually a Soviet win, Stalin had the army make major changes afterwards. Casualties for the USSR have been estimated between 30-50%

Finland teaches its children across all ages skills to discern propaganda in their fight against "fake news". It works.

United States–Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2013.
This new category would have placed Israel one notch above the Major Non-NATO Ally classification and would have added additional support for defense, energy, and strengthen

Which is why The Irone Dome defense system is so critical for that region.

Why is Sen Paul holding up funds when it was already passed?
Who doesn't want that NATO supported region protected, as Ukraine called for as well, sometime ago.
They too stated they would want the Iron Dome defense system for their region as Israel has.

Why would Sen Rand Paul object considering the degree of threat that surrounds the region.

If he doesn't approve of Israel protections, would he also not approve of Ukraine?
And why not?

Putin unhappy. I like the Magnitsky Sanction idea. Keep the oligarchs and their relatives in Russia, money is not so desirable if you can't spend it freely.

Even though the Nazis did their best to f*** it up for the Finns with their supposedly superior German tactical advice that the Finns promptly threw out into a hole in the ice after Sauna.
