Скачать или смотреть Finland Calls Putin A "Strategic Fool And A Failure"

Finland's President Alexander Stubb has delivered a scathing assessment of Vladimir Putin, calling him a "strategic fool and military failure" as Finland completes its transformation from neutral nation to NATO's newest frontline defender. Speaking from his summer residence, Stubb declared that Putin has "doubled NATO's border" through his Ukraine invasion, fundamentally altering European security dynamics.

Finland's NATO membership in April 2023 extended the alliance's border with Russia from 300 to over 1,300 miles, placing NATO forces just 250 miles from St. Petersburg. This strategic shift has prompted Finland to withdraw from landmine conventions, begin joint weapons production with Lithuania, and construct a 200-kilometer security fence along their Russian border.

Despite increased Russian military activity along the Finnish border, Stubb remains confident that NATO's deterrent effect will prevent direct confrontation. Finland's rapid militarization includes F-35 fighter preparations and mobilization capabilities of 280,000 troops with 900,000 in reserve, demonstrating their commitment to frontline defense against Russian aggression.
