Finland’s Nordic neighbour Sweden, on the brink of joining NATO, signed a similar deal last week.
NATO’s newest member, Finland, has announced it will sign a bilateral defence cooperation agreement next week with the United States.
The deal will allow Washington to station troops and store weapons inside the Nordic country, which shares a sprawling border with Russia.
Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen told a news conference in Helsinki on Thursday that Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen will sign the so-called Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) on Monday.
Technically yes, but in practice the goal is to make the practical arrangements implementing of Article 5 security quarantees possible. There is not much use of NATO support, if alliance forces can't operate in Finland in a practical way.
I am sure there are new operational agreements of similar nature will be made between Finland and Sweden as well as Finland and Estonia. That said, there is already a significant degree of defence cooperation between Finland and Sweden.
Finland is also already part of the british led JEF, and I would be surprised if the Nato framework would not change the nature of that cooperation.
Yeah, almost like a massive web of mutual defense treaties..where have i heard that one before? oh BTW Russia, India, Brazil for some fucking reason, and some other asian countries have a mutual defense agreement.
We should give a whole bunch of nukes to them also Ukraine also Poland. Just like so many and with ways to deliver them. Then Biden should take selfies with the nukes in storage there and have them emailed to Putin while Biden eats an ice cream cone.
Fuck it, let Ukraine join. Its at the point where we're complicit in all this. Why the fuck hasn't Interpol arrested his progeny for the time being and leverage the fuck out of them (in the most civil fashion)?
' Be a real goddamn shame if they were to be
Stripped penniless + "personal assets" converted into numerically exact number of Rubble(s)— minus conversion feez and preferably smouldering and to be withheld indefinitely via escrow (maybe the Swiss can help with this...)
If unarrestable/undetainable, Qatartined to a shitty wasteland like fucking USSR empire or some shitty desert hellhole where they'll be put in their place (only Russia altho we know there'll be boot-self-Sodomizers) 🙄
Actually positive for the girlz if they have "Daddy" issues (like Daddy is implicating me to guilt by association a d maybe won't let me leave to live a seperate, peaceful life
Bomb us, bomb yourself asshole
War over, a-check fucking a-MATE!!!!!!
!
Edit: Just cuz Russians are so "good" at Chess DOES NOT mean they are impervious to a bigger asshole fucking ripping the board off the table and beating them till death by anal impalement and symbolically safely neutralizing the much-implied+threatened explosive-potential by releasing all that vast worthless pent-up natural gas(ski) they sell and talk
Edit: I kinda like the sound of QATAREENA 🤣 Fuck them,🌵oo
There's exceptions to every rule, including no exceptions. Russia is banking on US (both us and the United States) to facilely play by "the rules" and keep letting Hitler (noun) Hitler (verb)
That's on us, we should be so lucky to further box in Russia till they get alternative leadership with a new vision
They're not gonna bomb shit, that would take away any remaining leverage and is essentially akin to reifying Pascal's wager at the nation state level and the SOOOOO not rhetorical realm in which bullies like and specifically Russia so fluorish in unopposed. And he knows how far more terrifying the loss of control that would represent and gurantee for him.
We need to stop playing by Putinz/our rules and throw the fucking rulebook at him. Set a precedent that NATO will pull up its goddamn big girl panties and plug the fucking bloodshed regardless of the soverignty of whatever orifice from which it orginates
Everybody needs to stop appeasing and take control. He can't KGB or dirty-trix his way out of this, we have to realize we're an elephant on a leash spun of imaginary silk and we are very much violently allergic such substance
You say that like it is a bad thing. Just think about it for a moment. You either get a quick painless death or you never ever have to worry about student loan debt, credit card debt, your credit score, your school district banning books, global warming, zoning laws, housing prices, who the president is, being on time to work, or whatever shit Twatter did this week. All you have to think about is basics of survival and if you don't like your local warlord you can just stick a knife in his throat when he sleeps.
Civilization is overrated and ours isnt worth saving. Now before you defend it ask yourself something: is there a single easy to solve problem your government is going to solve in the next ten years?
