Also Finland has a much stronger military than Ukraine. Even 1:1 war between Finland and Russia would be bad for Russia. 

the russian army outnumbers the finnish by more than half though, it'll be tough but not impossible. i'm sure it won't come to that though.

But it would be purely on ground/cyber fighting. Russia couldn’t bomb/nuke Finland, bc that would affect St. Petersburg which is ~150 miles away from Helsinki.

I also hope the SWIFT sanction passes, it'll be a hard blow to russia. ties with china are already looking awkward, and with a crippled economy, there'll be nothing more for Xi in the russian alliance. 

I hope you're right about that!

Yes and Finland already won the Winter War against Russia in 1940 and they seem pretty unimpressed by Russia. So do the Swedes. It's really frightening but I guess we can't go down that spiral where in the future, whenever Russia doesn't like something they're gonna threaten to nuke a country. This rhetoric needs to end before it can establish itself. It's ridiculous.

yeah, a nuke is definitely out of question (unless the russian go fully unhinged). their strategy in ukraine was to arm the borders and then exclusively target military sites rather than cities, and considering how the closest russian sites to finland are purposely positioned near the northern borders (mainly alakurtti), they could easily have them surrounded.

NOT a russia defender just stating stuff i looked up -

 

even though the ruble is worth less than the dollar russia still has a higher minimum wage than the us does IN USD

 

edit: this is actually wrong please ignore this

[Veinsineon 77,217]

tired of seeing people claim this is more than just Putin’s war. I doubt a majority of the Russian people wanted this

Russia now excluded from the ESC. I don't know if this is a good idea, because music always stands for the idea of peace.

that's like triple the average us minimum wage per month which is roughly 60 dollars per month
