Russia will respond to Finland's NATO membership with a "military surprise".


The Ruskies sure do like issuing threats. Do they not realise just how much the civilised world thinks of them as a joke?
I don't think they can surprise again with just how bad their military are.
 
No, it may start a nuclear exchange. I dont think it would escelate to nuclear exchange unless there were significant direct strikes within Russian territory or NATO boots on ground within Russia itself.

Indeed, I can't see them nuking European cities and then having Moscow wiped out because a few tanks got mangled in Ukraine. But it could be a slippery slope best avoided.

russia actually gonna roll on finland when they are in nato? wouldnt that result in a direct slap from nato?
 
Russia talks a lot of crap but even they wouldn't be stupid to go up against NATO, although it would be nice to get some of these ones locked up in the Gulag and Belarus out of prison.
 
Putin and Lavrov say a lot of things with no basis in reality, and following through on an implied threat to go nuclear if NATO forces get involved directly would just be really unbelievably dumb.

Doesn't mean it won't happen - after all they invaded Ukraine which most people didn't think they'd actually do because of what a bad idea it was. However it's still only a risk that they've take the insane option and follow through with a nuclear attack, not a guaranteed consequence.

Can see why countries are treading carefully though, not wanting to put the Russian words to the test.
 
If you'd bothered to read the link, you'd have seen an explicit threat.

So no argument then you're just referring to one of Putin's vague threats as expected... Did you even read the rest of the article? Presumably not or you're just actively ignoring the commentary.

Your position is that you're inferring the worst + taking any threats at face value - is that basically it?

Did you also believe Putin when he denied that he was going to invade Ukraine?
