Dougie93 Posted May 22, 2022 Report Posted May 22, 2022 bear in mind that Finland is an EU member and American Non NATO Military Ally unlike the Ukrainians, Finnish forces are fully adapted to NATO military hardware America would be shipping F-35 stealth fighters to Finland that alone would lay waste to the Russian's obsolete 1980's military attacking Finland is crossing the trace into World War Three, regardless of NATO membership the Russians would end up backs against a wall in an escalating vortex, worldwide Quote

One of the reasons for the EU was to never have a repeat. They haven't. How about the Franco Prussian War. The Prussia Austria war, Napoleonic wars, the Seven Years war? The list of former wars between members is almost endless. This is the longest period of peace in European history. Edited May 30, 2022 by Aristides Quote
