Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin said the Nordic country could decide to join NATO 'within weeks.'

In a March 31 statement, Stoltenberg said:"We prepared for the worst, but worked hard for the best. We made every effort to engage Russia in dialogue, but Moscow consistently turned us down and ultimately decided to cut diplomatic ties.

She said:"I won't give any kind of timetable when we will make our decision, but I think it will happen quite fast, within weeks not months." He said:"If Sweden and Finland join NATO, the length of the land borders of the alliance with the Russian Federation will more than double. Naturally, these borders will have to be strengthened."

Do it, NOW !!!

I wish people would STOP saying Russia/ Ukrainian WAR. Russia's strike in another land is an attempt to change our WAY of LIFE. No way / shape or form should Russia even half win this battle of wills.

Thanks putin You managed to unite europe better than Europeans were able to. Your RussianInvasion showed your true colors. Now when people hear Russian they think of military incompetence, population ignorance, women raped, children murdered, and genocide. Quite a legacy. 👏

Why not within days? Hours? Cut the red tape immediately and admit them to NATO.

We’ll win this sit in a day WW3FightMusic 💪🏾

This is a must! Make it happen!

Jesus is the only way to heaven, turn to him, we're all evil since we've all sinned, we stand trial to be judged by God for our sins, only Jesus can wash our sins away, without that we're doomed to hell, all of us, God bless you all, he's coming back soon, repent and believe.

I didn’t think it’d ever be necessary to bomb Russia no one wants that but…

Russians red button - rusted, wasn't maintained long time. How come US tolerate start of 3-rd World War by Russia and do nothing? OK, many European politics purchased by Putin, but US?! Same situation was when Hitler started 2-nd World War...no-one will escape.

Good for them

Wonderful News!!👏🏼👏🏼 Welcome, Finland! 🇫🇮🇪🇺

Why not put troops on the ground and help Ukraine get rid of this Russian Regime.

Putin does NOT respect : NATO, E.U., European Commission, U.N. Assembly Body, U.N. Security Council, Int'l Criminal Court, G7, G20, ASEAN, USA, UK, France, Germany, etc, in short Putin doesn't care to any human being. Putin economically f**ked the world.

Don’t know why Putin is doing this

Wow praying for us all. Russia means to kill us.

February 24 of 2022 Vladimir Putin started the last war of the human race, WW3. All 8 billion of us will die in it! -- People should do something to stop this!

Putin finding out hard and fast that Europe is not scared of his threats. Russia does not control the world, he can either communicate civilly or excommunicate himself from the world

Pressure from ?

Join and let Ukraine in yesterday!

Some Countries must stand up to Putin! He is not the boss of the World.

Russia should have considered the implications of its folly in Ukraine much more carefully. Putin will have to step down, be thrown out of office, jailed or ? This is not going to end well for him and those that follow him.

Russia: come and take it

Wonderful: USA taxpayers will pay for the defense of Finland and Sweden so these countries could then save money for their giant social welfare states!

Neither Russia nor China has nuclear weapons... Reagan used starwars to confiscate them in 1986. Only the USA and its' allies have nukes. Donald has been boss on Planet Earth for 35 years! Putin takes orders from Donald. Secret Society is a cult!

I don’t know about Sweden but I do know from my limited experience in Finland that historically there has been no love lost between the two countries. Issuing these threats will only strengthen the resolve to join NATO! I would suspect that Sweden feels the same way!

I don't care I don't think that we need to bow down to a freaking toddler he needs to be put down

If you don’t do what he says he will blow up the world.

Do it Putin won't do any thing

War. War never changes.

These are times of crisis and uncertainty, today, more than ever, the West must close ranks against Russia and China.

Russians don't trust Europeans.Wonder why?😆😂🤪😛

Today, people no longer respect anything. Before, we put virtue, honor, truth and law on a pedestal. Corruption is rampant in American life today. Corruption is the only law. Corruption is undermining this country. Virtue, honor and law have vanished from our lives. Al Capone

NATO should explicitly tell Finland we won't spend 1 penny much less 1 life to defend them if they don't join. If only Russia is pressuring them, they will ignore our pressure.

No be cool,Russia's not gonna attack Finland, don't let situation get out of hand.

checkout my latest video yall. Please decide to watch n subscribe :)

Putin can’t win a war 1 on 1 so he wants to blow everyone up with nukes instead. Where are the Russian “peacekeepers” when you need them 🙄.

Seriously tired of putin at this point multiple bs threats he clearly doesn't give a crap about his own civilization because all that radiation will effect russia as well just because your army sucks doesn't mean you rely on nukes this guy needs to be locked up.

Putin may the dictator of russia but he is not the dictator of the world. I hope finland and sweden join nato

NATO needs to keep their word and quit expanding. All this bloodshed falls on NATO

JasonLe11036251 Constant nuke threats is a sign of weakness he knows he has a Potemkin conventional military

Russia must be weak as f*ck if all they can do is cry nukes. We have nukes too and by the looks of how bad their equipment in Ukraine is, I bet our nukes actually work.

Putin can not hold the world hostage.

ZelenskyyUa surrender b4 russia for restoringpeace & protect Ukraine️ from further destruction. How many more deaths you wish to witness? Leave your ego aside & protect your people & country. war is result of ur ignorance and NATO_love. Rise b4 it's late forever.POTUS

Why do we still have NATO? The USSR is gone…what’s the deal?

They could also join tomorrow. Asap.

can't blame russia for the idiocy begun in europe. Between Europe and the USA what have we seen but idiocy?

Time to eliminate putin...😡

Ok, TheCabal needs to BTFO. They have continually & purposely menaced the entire world where now NorthAmericans & Europeans are almost extinct - see the stats “How did the sons of satan get in control of these countries”? zerohedge disclosetv

We were unaware of Russia Federation's threats toward other Nations regarding security alliances & believe West versus East (with Japan in G7, non-security) has been problematic. On all Nations are free to associate with whom they want, original individual rights in Nations.

Russia should form it's own NATO type alliance and get as many south and central American countries to join. Let's see how the United States would like that.

if only America had nukes... ukraine

Could be Finland's most disastrous geopolitical decision in decades making them a puppet for US control of NATO & EU. ONLY the US wins. Finland loses security along its boarder & RU oil, gas, commodities, rare earth, others with decreased access to supply chains in Eurasia, CN.

I’m so sick of these ass clowns. Putin is like a child throwing a tantrum.

I'm really going to die in my 20s because of nuclear warfare...smh

Congratulations to Finland joining NATO

Do you think anyone should take the threat seriously and make them stop threatening people just like making the nose of the bully bloody?

Is it time to nuke russia yet?

Finland is in the US pocket now, no turning back. sad affair

Abe putler iss chomu ko leone me tumhe itna samay lag raha hai.

1/2They just need to call Putin’s bluff.He is going to continue to threaten nuclear attacks,for any issues he doesn’t agree with it.I’m no rocket scientist,but I would think that,if Putin fires off his nuclear missiles,it’s going to cause destruction to Russia and its people.

During my cock surgery there were major complications, and I briefly died. I could see a light and a figure at the end, it was God. “Lord, is leMickey yet to win a real ring” I asked “Yes, my child” he responded. After that my heart rate picked up. Craziest experience of my life

Stop cowering to punkass putin. We can't live like this.

Putin does NOT respect : NATO, E.U., European Commission, U.N. Assembly Body, U.N. Security Council, Int'l Criminal Court, G7, G20, ASEAN, USA, UK, France, Germany, etc, in short Putin doesn't care to any human being. He f**ked us.

Putin's bullying backfires as Finland and Sweden edge closer to joining NATOBy invading Ukraine, Vladimir Putin wanted to bring his neighbor to heel and make the West think twice about expanding alliances towards Russia's borders. But Russia's assault is having the opposite effect on some countries. The Ukraine war has consolidated an alliance between China,India and Russia which has the makings of an emergent new world order . The East and the Global South are defining a new emergent world order. The Gold Standard will become the norm The day the whole world will also unite against you the west, for doing exactly that that Russia is doing in Asia and Africa. You will fall in hiurs A 79-year-old idiot and a comedian are dragging the world into WORLD War III and economic collapse.

Russia warns Finland and Sweden against joining NATOThe Kremlin warned Sweden and Finland on Monday against joining NATO as Russia continues to wage war in Ukraine. Russia has lost a good part of their armies lately. They are in no position to take on NATO. The funny thing about threatening another country that wants to join NATO--once they join they can no longer be threatened. It looks like the Russian leaders think the US President does not have the backbone to do anything about it except take away their bank cards. The world can see the Russian leaders as the animals they are.
