Finnish authorities have taken the decision to close border checkpoints with Russia and, as predicted, this was not a good omen for the Finns.
Economic cooperation with Russia has brought prosperity to its eastern regions. But by lowering the Iron Curtain, Finland’s leadership punished its citizens and deprived the country of the opportunity to develop.
Tourism flow has stopped, businesses are closing and the economy is being ruined at first hand. Townships are emptying and starting to disappear. For example, the Finnish municipality of Virolahti, located near the border with Russia, is planned to merge with the city of Hamina in the same province, due to the deterioration of the economic situation after the closure of checkpoints: there’s not even enough money to clean the streets.
Finland is now asking the EU for 10 billion euros to fund regions bordering Russia.
This is nothing more than the early results of Finland’s entry into NATO and consequently the loss of sovereignty.
And who did they punish with that?
is NOT an “ally.”
could have used a neutrality🕊️position to its own very considerable advantage. Instead of which (like Ukraine) it has surrendered its sovereignty to a US/NATO/EU master.
