Finland made a decision to abandon the whole thing about not joining without Sweden.

lol, I find it funny how pro-Russians have abandoned all threats about how Russia will conquer Europe and go staight to "Russia will nuke everyone" talk.
Xi is now as powerful as Mao was after cultural revolution so whatever he says goes.
Again; Purges are over and only his friends are now in positions of power... do you think anyone would oppose his orders to invade Taiwan next month?
Unlike most western countries Finland never abandoned preparations for large conventional war after Cold War ended and that's why we got lots of artillery, etc.
Years ago during international training in here Finland our officers were amazed because many soldiers from NATO countries didn't even...
China is dictatorship what means that one guys bad decision can wreck whole country in matter of months. No checks and balances.
Bad location also what means China is extremely vulnerable if US uses "operation starvation" tactics against it.
Funny how Russia fanboys deny these news even thought Russian failed attacks were recorded on video. Russia is only doing well in Bakhmut where they can use convicts in WW I style infantry attacks without needing to worry about casualties.
Better late than never.
Hopefully Europe also begins contructing more sophisticated foundries so west can make important tech without relying risky far off nations.
Interesting that they plan to use only one warhead per missile but then again next gem penaids gonna be so good that the warhead most likely reaches it's target.
United States can deploy thousands of mines in one day.
It's very evident that you dont know how mines are used during war, especially modern mines what can be deployed from bombers without having to fly above laying area.
You can write a lot about YJ-12 but when 055 carrying said weapons...
Finnish land is actually very easily defended as thick forests make tanks almost useless and they have to travel on small forests roads without room for any kinda assaults. You should study these issues before writing anything.
There is a reason why Finland puts emphasis on artillery and air...
