Finland Nato: Russia threatens to retaliate over membership move

PO1 Tony Holland Why wouldn't they... DUH!
...""Joining Nato would not be against anyone. You caused this. Look in the mirror," he said.

An opinion poll last week put support in Finland for joining Nato at 76%, with 12% against, a big swing towards membership since before the invasion.

Finland and the USSR were on opposing sides in World War Two, with the Finns famously fending off a Soviet invasion in 1939-40.

But Finland lost 10% of its territory in the final peace agreement and remained non-aligned throughout the Cold War.

Its accession to Nato would more than double the length of Russia's borders with the alliance. Sweden does not have a border with Russia."
