The UK has already agreed to support Finland and Sweden militarily.

If Russia invades either then they get a NATO member as opposition and that could lead to all of NATO.

Is Putin that crazy?

The last time Russia invaded Finland they suffered large losses. You would expect the same to happen again.

Finland has a funky military setup - basically they have trained a large percentage of the population who could be mobilised at very short notice. If Russia were to invade then Finland could hold them off for a decent amount of time. Add in the back up that they would get from others (such as the UK) and it suddenly gets very tricky for Russia. Invading Finland would not work out well.

I think so.

He's acting very "North Korea" and his ego won't let him back down. Here's hoping China slap some sense into him before it's too late!

Putin is getting his ass kicked hard in Ukraine, do you think he would like to have the same thing happen to him in Finland?

It seems now if the west provides weapons the chances the Russians can counter is difficult.

The myth of the Russian army is being dispelled, he could resort to Nuclear weapons, but that is if he see possible direct intervention e.g. boots on the ground. So an Afghanistan circa 1980’s scenario is the best option, support logistically don’t go face to face.

"Some people seem to think that Turkey will block the Swedish and Finnish applications "

So it seems. I wasn't aware that application acceptance has to be unanimous. My scepticism suggests that's unwise as it only takes one to block a benefit for the many...and besides, isn't Erdogan a little too pally with Putin?

There's a real irony in the neo-Nazi Turkish leader backing Putin!

(Not really, considering that Putin is a fascist. Yet, ironic given the narrative Putin is trying to spin.)

No, but Boris hardmanski needs to keep his mouth shut and stop unilaterally poking the bear. "We'll stand by Sweden", that nuclear weapon, Poseidon 2M39 Tsunami torpedo might be headed our way soon.

There are rumours of a coup, the only issue might be - it's by hardliners that believe Russia need to be more aggressive in Ukraine and towards the West.

The 'good guys' are locked up.

Not totally sure but think it largely depends on what Finland ask for. It will be up to them to ask for assistance , and specify what type of assistance they want

There is zero chance of the Russians attacking the fins… Finland have 280,000 regulars plus 900,000 reservists… plus they are all super trained and have the latest tech!!

If Russia went to war with Finland there would be a greater chance of Finland getting back all the land they succeeded to Russia in 1940

Not exactly sure how a conventional war would even happen. Maybe the navy and airforce but certainly no ground troops. Advantage of being an island.

Seriously? If Finland or Sweden were attacked and we defended them then the US would be right behind us. That is the only power coupling that meaningful matters in Europe at the moment.

The reality is that an attack on any European country - particularly in the Northern Arctic - would elicit a strong UK and US response.

Without their Nukes i’d bet Nato would already be all over Russia and driving all the way to Moscow for regime change (or control the oil and gas).

From their performance so far they seem to be an utter shambles of an army in conventional terms. Finland And the UK have little to fear.

I think all this threat of ww3 could have been avoided.

After the Soviet enemy crumbled in the 90s, NATO kept growing and also didn't change tack on attitude with Russia.

That I reckon has shaped the course of Russia into what it is today.

Too late now though.

Remember Iran? Once a much less problem than it is today until the Americans toppled the government there, backfired and Endee up with the country it is now.
