In the event of a conflict between Russia and NATO, Finland will be the first victim!
On December 28, IA reported that Russia does not believe Finland will benefit from joining NATO, because if a military conflict breaks out between NATO and Russia, Finland will be in the first strike zone. Russia's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov openly stated in an interview that Finland's transformation from a neutral and friendly country to a NATO member will inevitably provoke retaliatory measures from Russia.
Finland shares a border with Russia, which has traditionally regarded itself as a "neutral and generally friendly country" and maintains good neighborly relations with it. But on April 4, 2023, Finland became a member of NATO, becoming its 31st member. Two months later, the Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Defence Forces, General Timo Kiwinen, and the Supreme Commander for NATO's Transformation, General Philippe Lavigne, signed a joint statement, marking Finland's completion of military integration with NATO.
Not only that, but in mid-December, Finland and the United States signed an agreement to strengthen defense cooperation. Under the agreement, the U.S. military is allowed to use 15 military bases in Finland to pre-position equipment and supplies on Finnish territory — a serious challenge to Russia, and the fighting nations will certainly not ignore the U.S.-led NATO military build-up on its borders.
As Putin pointed out, all disputes between Russia and Finland have long been resolved, and there are no problems in relations between the two countries, but they will arise with Finland's accession to NATO. Finland's accession to NATO has prompted retaliatory measures from Russia, which has publicly warned that Russia will begin to rebuild the Leningrad and Moscow military districts and deploy some military equipment around Finland.
The reason why Russia is taking Finland is that, on the one hand, it needs to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and ruthlessly cleaning up Finland can also deter the desire of other neighboring countries to join NATO, and on the other hand, it is not unrelated to Finland's repeated provocations against Russia after joining NATO.
Recently, Finland's policy towards Russia has changed abruptly and adopted a series of Russophobic policies. In early July, Finland further tightened entry restrictions for Russian property owners and decided to completely close the border crossing in the south-east of the country near St. Petersburg from November 18 to February 18, 2024. Separately, Finland imposed entry restrictions on Russia from November 9 and closed its borders completely from December 15.
It's not that Israel can't take Gaza, it's not that it's actually not difficult, and with the help of the American son, it can even easily set foot in the Middle East, but it ignores one of the most important logics, and the iron law of history:
The more brutal the killing, the bloodier the backlash. Blood Sacrifice
The consequences of this kind of backlash may not be visible for a short time, but in the future, it will definitely be repaid in some form, several times or even a hundred times the blood debt.
Israel does not understand this truth, but veteran American politicians know it very well.
For example, the Korean War, such as the Vietnam War, the origin of the war is because:
All of them believed that "this battle will be won."
But looking back at history, the conclusion tells us that from a strategic point of view it was a miscalculation.
When sending troops, whether it was Hitler to Moscow or the Soviet Union to Afghanistan at that time, there would be an element of arrogance in it at the beginning, believing that no matter how it was calculated, it would not be able to lose.
Also includes the initial phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
However, in the back, things changed.
A strong enemy is most afraid of not an equally strong enemy, but of a weak person who has a stronger will to fight and endurance.
The so-called weak refers to the backwardness of technology and equipment, Saddam Hussein is not weak, nor is Gaddafi, because they all feel that they have millions of troops, and they are small overlords in the Middle East, but they are mentally weak.
Once those who are really poor to jingle once they awaken and develop a strong will to war, the more likely they are to be invincible.
As long as there is no dimensionality reduction attack, like the Western colonizers to the Indians, they are bound by the ethics and morality of modern civilization, and there is no way to eliminate the spiritualists one by one.
Western civilization is the most brutal civilization.
But even then, it can't wipe out Muslim civilization or any other civilization.
Even tiny Afghanistan and Vietnam don't have a particularly good solution.
According to Westmoreland, the commander-in-chief of the Vietnam War, he did not lose a single battle during the entire war he was responsible for. Every report to the United States is a victory. So there is a false impression that this war is simply impossible to lose.
Commanding up to 500,000 elite U.S. troops and taking brutal killing measures, there is still no way to eliminate the North Vietnamese guerrillas.
It dragged on until the United States could no longer bear the loss of personnel, and the anti-war sentiment was unprecedented, so it could only withdraw in failure.
By the time Nixon came to power, they had realized that the battle could not be won.
And for so long before that, no one would have thought that this would be the case.
The current situation of the Russia-Ukraine war and the Palestinian-Israeli war is similar.
The reason why the spillover Houthis can "refuse to negotiate with the United States" is because the United States is not its opponent?No, but because the United States can no longer afford a war that is bogged down in the mire.
