In recent months, an exceptionally large number of people without required entry documents have tried to enter Finland through checkpoints on the country�s southeastern border.
For everyone only reading headlines: Those are not Russians trying to leave.
A total of 91 undocumented migrants have tried to enter Finland on its eastern border since August. These are third-country nationals who used Russia as a transit country and applied for asylum in Finland.
91 at official border crossings in 3 months is nothing, but they need to keep an eye on the situation. So far, Russia is no longer stopping them from crossing towards Finland without documents. On the border between Belarus and Poland they area already a step further and migrants are being used as desperate tools to breach the border and fences towards Poland.
Acknowledging it’s not the people fleeing responsible for the ass hat behavior from Russia, but really funny how the turn has tabled considering how Russia has treated Finland since forever
There is a russian Youtuber, who is mostly know for his (illigal) train ridings across the russian+kasacz regions. Lately in one of his video, he again hitchhiked the finish-russian border region and talked to another russian in a car. He first is talking about how they lost a lot of jobs inside russia, then calls the finns stupid, says that actually russia cut them off from the power grid, so they do net get any more power from russia and that finnalnd should "go join nato, live under nato control, you think life will be sweet but it wont [...] now they are in the arse". That scene really stuck with me. They do not recognize any loss, they are stubborn and olympic mind athlets. Never admit being wrong. No words of conciliatoriness.
That's a really good video by the way, outside of the psychotic comments from the truck driver too.
But yeah, rus*ians have been fed lies throughout their history and they really seem to believe Finland receded back to the stone age after cutting them out. You know, since they are very rich compared to a modern nordic country I guess.
Also those nato comments are so delusional, what does "nato control" even mean in practise? That evil Americans are coming over and... What exactly? Buy stuff? Get along with us? Open up new business and investment opportunities? Please no, anything but that.
