So that's why they're giving Russian citizenship if you're willing to live in the tundra and build a house.

It's the Oil-for-Fodder Programme.

How good is this "right to freely vote", eh? Just like the "right to freely express" Kremlin propaganda because "Truth is never one-sided!!111111"
Representative demoNcracy undermines itself in EVERY aspect.

I say let them attack! This wouldn't be our first rodeo. Last time we kicked their butts and stopped them from rolling their tanks into Helsinki. This time it'll be much, much worse for our poor eastern neighbour. We're not afraid of putin's empty threats.
"Stay where you are! Don't join NATO or we will respond!" -> Finland joined NATO.
"Don't support Ukraine or else!" -> Ukraine got support from US and EU.
"Don't give Ukraine ATACMS or we'll nuke ya!" -> Ukraine got ATACMS.
"Okay but don't give Ukraine F-16s or we'll push the big red button!" -> Ukraine got those too.
But we're prepared in case putin wants to make further mistakes.

Finland is safer in the NATO than it ever was alone. Imagine the Winter War if Finland was supported by Western allies.

The problem is we are NOT prepared but more that we are AFRAID of war as a NORMAL - still unfortunate - reality (because we must accept it is NORMAL, but noooooo,
we want to exorcise it on the contrary of russians, and it's why we're losing and Russia winning and not because of weapons nor "heroes": the only difference is that we want to exorcise a NORMAL reality when some global power is stuck in the '800 nationalistic ideology! This is beyond suicidal for us, there's no peace when you let someone play "imperial power")

If I read only the words you uppercased, you're saying: NOT AFRAID NORMAL NORMAL NORMAL. What are you really saying lowenz? Maybe I need to read the lowercase words too.
Joking aside, there are many ways you can mean war is normal. That it's a normal part of human life, which is why every nation needs an army for defense. Or that perpetual war is our normal/natural state, and that peace is at best an unstable state. So, what do you mean that we are afraid of war as a normal? Normal in what sense?
EDIT: Oh and here's the bombardment of Belgorod as NORMAL:

In every sense of a word we want so stupidely desperately exorcice just because we can't accept the fact that someone else is ready to die and we are not able to leave our comfort zone as the deepest of the tombs.
About the "varangian" aspect (very nazi-nietzschian like argument) I was talking about and the West can't even imagine as a "real thing" nor understand the symbolism.
