On Thursday, Finland’s leaders announced that they will apply for NATO membership. What changed?
Since Russian invaded Ukraine, public support for joining NATO soared from 30% to 80%.
The Nordic country shares a border with Russia, making it vulnerable.
Once again, Moscow’s creepy Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, said there would be ‘repercussions’ and that Russia views Finland joining the alliance as ‘a threat.’
Finland “must be aware of the responsibility and consequences” of joining NATO Russia’s foreign ministry said in a statement Thursday, adding that Russia “will be forced” to take retaliatory steps if the country joins the alliance.’
