  It's crazy to think how capable Finland is. Like US Senator Tom Cotton has said: "Finland has one of the strongest artillery forces in Europe, with more rocket launchers and howitzers than France, Germany, or the United Kingdom. Finland’s reserves are larger than the reserves of France, Germany, and Italy—combined. Finland owns more combat tanks than Germany."

  A comment from Swede here. I live on Gotland, the island mentioned in the video. When the Swedish military downsized it's presence here in the mid 2000's, a lot of people worried about the consequences leaving us practically defenseless. Especially with the construction of Nord Stream 1, which runs very close to the coast of Gotland. After Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 however, Sweden woke up and started militarizing Gotland again. With Sweden and Finland joining NATO, finally we might get the military presence needed to keep the Russians away.

  it is strange how these history documents always skips Lapland War where Finland fought against Nazis and Nazis burned basically whole Lapland. You should check that too.

  Sweden has seriously top notch sensors and radars they have deployed. Saab is WAY up there in sensor development, actually world-leading in some cases.

  If you don't want your neighbors joining a defensive alliance, STOP INVADING YOUR NEIGHBORS!

  81 years Finnish Defence force has been training war against one enemy only. Last time we were not prepared and hopefully next time never comes.

  Finland actually didn't really help in the "Siege of Leningrad". The army pushed to the old border on the Karelian isthmus, but the leader of the military (Field Marhsal C.G.E. Mannerheim) ordered them not to push any further and help in the siege.

  I've been supporter of Finland's Nato membership already almost 10 years now and it's frustrating we didn't apply earlier. Also for me the Nato membership is more about joining sides with Denmark, Norway, Poland, UK, Germany and other western nations rather than just looking for that US power.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdDrBm2fKls&amp;t=459">7:39</a> almost all of these kinds of videos don&apos;t mention that one of the demands was to destroy ALL defensive fortifications on the Soviet border. That was one of the biggest reasons why Finns were reluctant. There were others as well, but it wsnt about just small piece of territory.
