- Finland officially became the 31st member of the the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), marking a major shift in the security landscape in northeastern Europe that adds some 1,300 kilometers (830 miles) to the alliance's frontier with Russia.#CNN #News
if russia is provoked by a defensive alliance they're just proving the need for a defensive alliance
Truth!
russia has never been provoked.... period!!
Finland noted that Russia attacked Ukraine because it wasn't a member of NATO. They reasoned, correctly, that NATO membership meant security from a Russian invasion. Russia is its own worst enemy.
"Defensive alliance"> Yugoslavia> Bosnia> Albania.
Damn those 3 countries must have been a huge threat to NATO.
That was the United Nations not nato
Those tears now coming out of Kremlin are like salve to my soul. Greetings from Finland.
Exactly! 😂 Well done Finland!! 🇫🇮👏🏾👏🏾 NATO💪🏾
Финляндия там же где была при Гитлере. Ни чего нового. А Россия вас всех поставит на место. Что с долларом? Что с нефтью? Что с банками? У Вас жопа а в России все хорошо каждый день увеличивает свою территорию
man you should see twitter these orcs tears is delicious not to mention some morons even saying we should save our finnish brothers from those nazis goverment havent laught so much in a long time
Welcome to the Alliance. It's epic to have you in and Sweden soon too. 🤙
@@JDurand888 Even if Sweden is never allowed in by Turkey, it actually has Putin's problem which is a major blessing for it... it is surrounded on ALL sides by NATO. You cannot get to Sweden from any direction without going through NATO and its airspace and waters. Sweden probably has a larger border with NATO than Russia!!! If you attack Sweden, on the way you're going to trigger the NATO alliance so good luck with that....
Nobody fears you Russia. Everyone sees how much of a joke your military is. Bring it on.
Trump still likes them . What an idiot.
Why would 31 nations(nato)align against a weak opponent?
That's why Finland is Running for help😂😂😂😂😂
Welcome Finland. From America with love 🫡🇺🇲
Thanks
Welcome 🏴🇬🇧🏴
Welcome 🏳️🌈
and from the UK. Lots of love and welcome! X

Welcome our friends of Finland!
Russia being provoked by NATO is like a burglar being provoked by a home alarm.
Yes, the idea is to make a belligerent country aware of the consequences of a foul move.
Russians should just be happy that NATO is not an offense alliance.
😂Well said..if you don't mind, I will quote this somewhere else 😂
I'm happy to have Finland with us. I hope Sweden will join ASAP.
If Erdogan loses the election in Turkey this year Sweden will join soon after.
Soon I hope it will be Ukraine who joins NATO after Sweden has done so ! Then we can look forward to every other freedom and democracy loving countries who wish to be our Allies in the hope for peace , prosperity and security to join us !!
@@Hockeyfan967 lmfao 😂😂
This is exactly what Russia didn't want the most, but it has happened, and it is a great victory for Finland and for the whole world!
Not as long as they keep supporting terrorists and hate speech.
From USA, welcome Finland to NATO. Now, lets also accept Sweden as well!
America is the devil or terrorism in the world
We have to convinced the Turkeys.
@tommygun5038 agree, NATO members need to persuade Turkey to accept Sweden.
We need to stop worrying about what will provoke the enemy and focus on ensuring the enemy knows what will provoke us
👍👏👏👏👏
Very well said!
Obviously we haven't been since never. Cuban Missile Crisis and nukes in Turkey (Russia's Cuba) is the first example I had ever read about. The key is to be offended at any enemy's audacity to react in a parallel way to our own actions
Dawg i like being alive
This should be obvious. It's not Russia who establish the boundaries.
Russia doesn't need any excuses to be provoked.
Exactly
Came here to say the same!
Exactly, russia is a brute rabid savage barbarian state, and needs to finally be dealt with in an appropriate manner
@@smorris12 Finland, Poland, Turkey .
Yup. Just tell vladdy he's wrong and you'll provoke him.
WELCOME FINLAND!!! FREEDOM IS ALWAYS THE STRONGEST PATH TO THE FUTURE!!!!
You make it sound like they weren’t free before this lol
Your caps lock is on?
@@gregbors8364 They are now more free because Russia can't attack them anymore due to the alliance.
@@UltimateWaifuXD Of course Russia can still attack them. NATO membership isn’t some kind of magic shield
Proud of Finland...Greetings from Cape Town South Africa
@Kinzhal As a Mexican we will not allow it we are against Russian hypocrite war against free Ukrainians
Kinzhal BRICS is as meaningless as the CSTO 😂
@Kinzhal the biggest economies in the BRICS are India and China. There are still active border disputes between these 2 countries with encroachments happening quite often. Therefore whoever joins BRICS, it is still a long way to go before they can be a true "alliance" like NATO or EU. Up till now BRICS or any extension of sorts could be best called a "conglomerate".
@SDG Dasgupta brics is a business union with members that distrust each other.
@Kinzhal speak for yourself we Arab's support the Fins . Congratulations to Finland from the Arab world. Wishing u guy's love & peace ✌

Hearty Congratulations to Finland for being brave enough to take this historic step.
@Yuri 11-month-old Russian shill.
Foolishness. If there is a war between NATO and Russia then Finland will be at the frontline. Nuked also.
It's actually the safer choice. It would be braver for them to stay out of NATO, and wait for the inevitable invasion haha.
@@Yuri-uy5mu Finland used frozen Russian troops for road signes. That says go to hell like nothing else.
Congratulations to Finland! Welcome to the alliance!🇫🇮 👏🏾
We can only say one thing - congratulations to Finland on this important step!
welcome joining Nato another slave country
Glad to have the Finns as members of NATO. Great day! Sweden soon, we hope.
for Sweden to join Ukraine, this is important because we are not immune to the Kremlin’s re-examination, while the Ukrainian army has a positive experience in fighting the aggressor, and the Ukrainian army has already adopted the NATO standard
I’d want to be in NATO if Russia was my neighbor! Bravo Finland! 🎉🎉🎉
U still don’t understand what’s is going on!! America make the shit in the world!!
why? so you would have Nukes pointed at you?
Another patsy for Biden's corruption
@@thewedge8823 Russia doesn’t attack for no reason!! Ukraine did something bad with America they together planned to destroy Russia!! this war between Ukraine and Russia. It’s actually America’s war with Russia because America won destroy Russia next will be China America, don’t like if someone else is doing better than them.
@thewedge8823 no so they could have more countries with bigger and more nukes pointed at the ones pointing nukes at them. This is why Russia NATOs best recruiter. Don't join NATO we will point nukes at you. Rest of the world: You'll what mate?
Russia has a thin skinned leader, NATO is doing its job, standing up to Ruskie aggression. GO NATO!!!!!!

Thank you Finland!!!! ❤
Outstanding welcome aboard. Finland for Freedom Amen.

Welcome Finland❤❤❤❤😃😃😃👀
Finland has been attacked by Russia before and now has some serious backups
The Fins used frozen Russians as road signes.

Hopefully the American empire will collapse! Imagine being so cringe that your shitty government sells out your "independence" by having American military bases and nuclear missiles on your country's soil. 🤢
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷
I am very happy for Finland
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Welcome Finland from Albania
followed by Sweden.
The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians under videos about the atrocities committed against civilians in Ukraine were no less shocking to Ukrainians than the war itself.
We somehow got used to the war, but the realization of who we have been living next to all this time without even knowing it is still terrifying.
These creatures call themselves our brothers.
Imagine what they would do to you, who they call their enemies, if you let them.
Not supplying weapons to Ukraine in order to achieve an early peace would be like allowing a violator to violate his victim in order to end the violence as soon as possible.
If you're going to continue to cut and paste that same message at least find a video where Russians are making such comments.
If you're going to kiss Putins ass at least make it less noticable jesus
Negotiations should of taken place in the first month. NATO expansion caused the conflict with Russia. Also, Ukraine was attacking Russian speaking citizens. NATO promised Russia it would not expand....it expanded.
@@PrettyGoodLookin ....NATO expansion didn't start it. That's just one of Putlers go to excuses.

Congratulations Finland, Sweden welcome 🤗
Finland just chose the right path to the future. The western path of freedom. So glad. God bless NATO
Congratulations to Finland!!! from Sweden
Smart move. Finland borders Russia, so this is an immediate need for alliance.
Really? I never knew 🤔
Finland lived quietly and quietly under the protection of Russia for 75 years after the war , but the politicians of this country are pushing it into a new war !
@@nc2933 Russia keeps invading its neighbours so Finland and Sweden feels the best thing is to join Nato.
Same reason Finland sided with Germany in WWII, they were vastly threatened by the USSR. What a quandary.

"I can recruit a whole country for the alliance I wanted to see crumble but im unable to recruit enough men to feed my 3 day war" - Vladimir Pootin
Welcome, Finland. I would like to see us expand eligibility beyond Europe to other democracies. I think we should extend the opportunity of membership to Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand as well.
And South American countries too.
I think they would have to change the name if they start adding Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and India which already has an alliance in the pacific.
you are absolutely correct! We have to open this path to our allied nations in the pacific. I would include the Philippines and Thailand as well(bot are 'major non NATO allies')
There was a similar alliance called SEATO but it was disbanded in 1977.
@@paulnicholson1906 So odd seeing ideas being recycled, like they're brand new concepts, isn't it?

Very happy to see Finland join our defensive alliance! Finns are smart, brave, and well prepared. They punch above their weight class. By standing together we prevent wars of imperialism from destroying our societies like they did last century
Someone should explain to Putin that invading his neighbours to get them to not join a defensive alliance against him isn't a great strategy.
Not like we haven't tried.
NATO expanded towards Russia in 1999 and 2004 idiot
Thank you Putler for making defense alliance even stronger. You only have yourself to blame
Hurr durr, Putler made the alliance bigger. NATO expanded towards Russia in 1999 and 2004 is two massive waves, and then NATO announced Ukraine and Georgia would be issued membership plans in 2008. You honestly can't be this fucking retarded, right?
I want to cry. Finally
I would cry if I was a Finnish person, imagine having American military bases and nuclear weapons on your soil? Yikes!
Congratulations Finland!!🎉
✨️🇫🇮✨️🇫🇮✨️🇫🇮✨️🇫🇮✨️🇫🇮✨️
Welcome, Finland. Glad to have you on the team.
Congratulations Finland!
The point of Finland joining NATO is to deter Putin from invading Finland, not provoke him.
CNN doing their clickbait while also attempting to pander to some right wingers in NA I guess with the argument that joining is provoking. Russia attacking is more likely if Finland didn't join.
I can't stop laughing. 😂 Putin wanted less Nato but now he got more Nato. Wonderful day 🤙🇩🇪🤝🇫🇮
Russia have nukes for all NATO members, don't worry.
@@ao4474😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@ao4474 their nukes are probably like the rest of their ancient weapons, not maintained and unreliable by a bunch of drunk Russians 😅😊
@@ao4474 and NATO has nukes for all of Russia. If they want use nukes they commit suicide, if they want to fight a normal war they will loose.
Putin has been preventing NATO expansion since 2008, Finland joining isn't as a big deal as Ukraine or Georgia joining NATO.

Good people of Finland you're now fully a democratic country congratulation..

Democratic countries exist without being in NATO
Congrats finland! Nice to make our treaties and friendship official 🇬🇧 🇫🇮
Finland completely crushed Russia in WW2 despite having merely a fraction of russias military power.
Not really. But they did do a lot better than the Soviets were expecting. The Finns ended up ceding 9% of their territory to the USSR at the conclusion of the “Winter War.”
@@gregbors8364 Yeah they did really good tho. For what they were up against, even though they lost around 10% of land
@@niavellir7408 Yes, better than expected, just like I already posted
Welcome to Finland. I am a big supporter of NATO so this is very significant. Perhaps we should look at some countries in the Asia-Pacific realm to join NATO.
They can't. They would need a new name to form a whole new group.
NA = North Atlantic
But I like where your thinking is headed. 👍

We are happy to have you Finland joining us here..... WIliam here fr0m the Philippines :)
Congratulation to Finland. An observer from the Philippines
Welcome Finland. I hope we never have to mobilize our collective might.
Between Estonia and Finland - NATO can choke off Russia from the Baltic Sea at any point...while having eye's on St. Petersburg lol. This is an absolute game-changer for NATO
And Russia's critical nuke arsenal threatening the US is held in Kola Peninsula (the entire Kola Peninsula is connected to the rest of Russia by just 2 roads and both are running next to 800 miles Finnish border. The Finns could destroy that single road immediately, their artillery is strongest in the western Europe). Russia has no chance anymore
@@RockerFinland yes the Fins are watching and stand ready. Thing is that the Ruskies don't refresh their nukes. Those things most likely would explode in the launchers if armed. The ones you see in the big parade are fakes. And they fall apart en route sometimes. And the site is unguarded because the troops were pulled out to die in Ukraine. Been dead for months.
not "provoke", "deter". Fixed it for you.
I am very happy for Finland.
So happy that Finland has decided to join and now is officially a member of the NATO. Waiting for Sweden.
Congratulations from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Congratulations to Finland.
Well Done❤
Great addition to Nato! But Sweden is missing, they would give Finland and Nato strategic depth, marine bases with submarines in the Baltic Sea and an airforce that can support with strikes and hunting on the the Russo/Finish border, and in the Baltic states. Not possible now. Turkey say no because of some idiot torched the Quran and Hungary say no because … Sweden has criticized them for dismanteling their democracy (as has Finland and the rest of the free world).
Thank you FINLAND for making us stronger...stronger together
US Senator Tom Cotton: "Finland has a 900,000-man reserve it can draw on in time of crisis and can field an army of 280,000 when fully mobilized; which means Finland’s reserves are larger than the reserves of France, Germany, and Italy-combined. Finland has firepower in addition to manpower. According to scholars at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, Finland has one of the strongest artillery forces in Europe, with more rocket launchers and howitzers than France, Germany, or the United Kingdom. It has a strong fleet of fighter jets and plans to buy sixty-four American-made F-35s by the end of the decade."
Cotton is rooting for putin
