Finland wasn't a NATO member yet. Also from what I read, there won't be NATO troops (other than Finns) and no nuclear weapon deployed.
Sprengtpoten's story is an interesting read, thus the complicated relationship with Russia. Stalin used to say if not for Sprengtpoten, the Russian would take back Helsinki at no time.
Obviously not. Finnland seeks middle ground while Ukraine is one sided.
Was Ukraine going to allow NATO troops or nukes?
Doesn't Finnland joining NATO make them one sided?
I suppose it does make it one-sided but Russian can only handle one war at a time. It wll be bad regardless.
well, I just don't see shitty jobs and overpriced iphones as being on par under authoritarian rule.
An interesting article on large investor who says he cannot get his money out of China now.

There is a theory Mundell impossible triangle, China's choice is to control the free flow of money. In addition, there is a high probability that this investor's money did not enter the market completely through officially certified channels. I guess the amount is in hundreds of millions or billions. We may need to obtain more information. But no matter what, the money still belonged to him, and he would definitely be able to withdraw it in batches. It will not disappear directly like in some countries.
I can only use three words to describe this battle until now: shocking, heartbroken, and regretful. Both sides made huge mistakes, and the hundreds of thousands of people who died in battle directly paid the bill.
