finland in nato: Municipalities in Eastern Finland are demanding that the authorities take measures to restore the region's economy, writes Savon Sanomat .

Finland has had a very sober understanding of Russia for much longer than the rest of Europe, and invested in defense for a very long time, and that way Finland does not need to panic as much as the rest of us now. 'Slow and steady wins the race' as the saying goes. However, 'the rest of us' don't have time for 'slow and steady' now, so it will have to be 'leaps and bounds' ! Greetings from Norway.
We know from our history that Russia can't be trusted no matter what. Them as people have long history of treachery and it's deeply ingrained into their society on all levels.
Great interview & great answers to those difficult questions as well! Finland is a strong country. Not only counting on quantity of things but more of that quality we need in defence and security.
Excellent discussion. Let’s tougher 🇵🇱 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 🇺🇦 make the case to Western Europe that stronger security makes us all more prosperous. That is truly the case but we need to convey it also..
Some western European Nato countries have included the pensions of military personnel in the "defence budget". Therefore, "percentage of GDP" is not a very good indicator of military capability. What matters is the money spent in military hardware and the amount of military training.
Well it is an expense of having a professional military, so in that regard it's totally warranted to be in the budgets. But that expense should also be easily identified from the budget, so it would be easier to evaluate how much money is spent on it, and how much on active military.
Yeah, instead of pensions we include reserves retraining in the budget. My friends in the 40s and 50s are still going for refresher training week every few years.
Finland is built for its people more than most other countries so that is the reason for being known for being a happy nation. My nation for example is built for the elit more than the people-majority.

Excellent discussion with engaging guests and a host who clearly knows his business keeping up the pace. Also great to see Poland's growing economy, hopefully it will result in gains on wellbeing for entire population. 👏
One thing I noted was that all the Finnish citizens interviewed had one thought in common: I trust the government. You don't hear that in Romania nor the United States nor many other countries.
Here in the states we have been bombarded from radio, t.v., and now internet not to trust government since 1980's. On the radio it has been really bad, far right Christians now own most radio stations and they do a lot of talk radio always, "The government is bad" They hate the government till they get the farm subsidy check, and now they want exception from deportation of illegal workers from their farms. Its very sad here.
@@theresamcpherson7352Right wing talk radio (Especially Christian right), Fox TV...has been spewing conspiracy theories, disinformation, hate, fear for decades now.
3:45 our non-alignment policy started its shift back in December -21 after Putin's declarations that not a single new member should be allowed into NATO. They started to enforce their foreign policy onto ours, and we took note of it. The balance shifted permanently at the invasion of Ukraine in February -22. We have followed a security policy which entailed the NATO option, and that would have snacked the rug from under our feet. The opposing and pro views of over joining NATO went absolutely to the opposites. I as well formerly held our "neutrality" as the better solution, up until the December Manifest of Putin. We have had them as a thorn in our backside counting minimum twice a century for the past millennia and then some.... ..get ready, this century will be no different, we're already defending ourselves against russia's hybrid warfare and several sabotage attacks on our infrastructure. The heated and active phase of this war will come about very soon.
Some of the questions were really weird, and the host kept interrupting the interviewees, who, in my opinion, were not even reasonably chosen for the discussion. Quite a farce!😅
The journalist who was asking the qeustions was constand interrupting those both gentlemen. So he is a bad host to intervieuw people. If he would constantly interrupt me I would ask him to stop doing that !
Interview must be pushed on within the timeframe of the television show, otherwise the interviewees would ramble on endlessly. Very well controlled by the host.
Finland was ranked the best country by World economic Forum conference in Switzerland Davos in 2019 and the happiest country seven times in a row by World happiness index report and UN in 2018-2024. The reasons are approximately the same. Finland is at the top in almost every category.
Finland has been capable defending itself always... Joininh Nato was just more for response for the invasion of ukraine.. but at the same time good deterrent obviously. Defence capability hasnt changed.
Peace and security are on most poeples list of important things in society. If more countries would have a general military service, concensus on security would be easier to achieve. Finland is a country with great cohesiveness brought on by a shared history since it's independence from Russia, its language and a shared national pride in the achievements of the country. Much of this is shared with the three other Nordic countries. With respect to ability to finance defence and deterrence, we should remember that is terms of GDP, Europe is almost ten times larger than Russia and four times larger in terms of population. Thus, defence and deterrence are only querstions of concensus and political will.
I found it very difficult to get the full substantive essence of this informative discussion of ideas and conjecture of the experienced guests because this ill-mannered, paparazzi, hack moderator wouldn’t SHUT-THE-HELL-UP and not step-all over the replies of his invited guests, before they were finished! The whole purpose of inserting punctuation marks in written conversation, and voice fluctuations in conversation, is to two or more parties from speaking at the same time.’ I doubt I’ll watch another dialog hosted by this irritant!
On the subject of whether Ukraine should accept the dictates of any other nation regarding her national sovereignty: "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!" -- Patrick Henry, speaking before the Virginia legislature, March 23, 1775.
oh my god how silly and stupid this woman must be. at 27:40. "i haven't seen it" "there is no influence from russia" ... everybody else has seen it woman! that's why we are now in nato.
But how much was it Russian influence and which part it was a influencal win for the USA propaganda and influence? I think western intimidation played big part too.
The question was how much had Russia influenced politics in Finland not everywhere else. Finland does not seem to be as divided politically or socially and Russia’s mis/disinformation was unable to make much inroads. The US has been primed for such interference for years. Many of the EU are also. How silly and stupid your comment is. Listen before you make ignorant judgements.
@@georgine321 Sure, But USA also makes it's own influence too, while may be a target to some other interference too. It would be stupid not to regognise US interference through alliences and media. China is not wrong just because US claims so, neither is Russia. Facts has to be confirm from several sources. And even China and Russia have the right to their opinions even if they don't coincide with the US or EU. US citizens are highly interferece from CNN, Fox, New York Times and other local media, as are Europeans by their local media. Should sometimes try to read Pravda, China Today or The Caravan to get wider view.
Political leaders in Finland should refrain from speaking English if the level is comparable to that of these individuals. It may appear appropriate, but the responses are hindered when they do not possess fluency in the language. They must utilize a significant portion of their thinking capacity to communicate in a foreign language and answers are often insufficient. I could have provided more insightful responses (as I have heard in Finnish), but the opportunity was limited due to the lack of fluency.
Finland is / was safe regardless of it joining NATO. There is a long history of training and cooperation between the US and Finland. US presidents, to include Trump, will protect Finland.
Yep. NATO membership made Finland a target for hybridwarfare, which was not the case before. NATO may keep us safe from direct war, but many other ways membership made Finland more unsafe and unstable. Policians are splitting and polarcising the sociaty themselves, but too blind to see it themself.

The host is the epitome of "mansplaining", yes, you can speak better English, we get it, and your interviewees were often struggling to find the right word to express their ideas since English was not their first language, but they will get there in a second or two. Yet he felt the need to constantly finish their sentences for them, as if him trying to save a second or two of the air time was his biggest contribution to this show. NO, it only makes him that much more annoying, LET THEM FINISH WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, then you can add whatever opinions you want on top of them, instead of this elementary school level of attempting to correct your students on their grammar, while they were perfectly capable experts in their respective fields to form their own thoughts and reach their own opinions, FFS!
For Finland, NATO membership costs 70-100 trillion per year, plus operational planning costs, maybe the same amount more, after all, Finland is on the verge of bankruptcy, these expenses are more than Finland's economic budget, you can guess where the money comes from.
Hi polititions do NOT be Naïves .Russia all in all is 144 Millions inhabitantst. While Eu with US are 800 millions inhabitants , So he will not take that big Ventre . Because if goes to any he can not keep , because Russia has not enough Soldiers on the Ground . So those Money is better to spend on Social well fare ,Housing , Éducation, Health care , higher Salaries for your people prosperity in Peace ,than to push for war. All EU countries are in deep debts of Trillions , they do not have no that money . Mostly they will tax their people who are like Milky Cows . I remind you what Kesinger American Foreign policy architect said " if you are againt the US , it is dangerous , but if you are a friend it is FATAL.". Finland did it and will become like others in debt. USA has 34 Trillions usd in Debt . Can any one of you tell me how they have that ??? Housing , Education EconomyGdp . Less than Russia. Health Care Recession , Criminality , Homeless per hundreds of thousands in the Streets of Washinton Newyork .. etc 30 millions without house or apartement , prisons are overloaded . Home jacking , cars jacking , attacks night and day on people , attacks on Supermarkes , Shops .... Is that model you want yo have in finland , or any other EU country , go and see on TH-cam. And then reconsider your position .
Under the light of Russian Empire, Finland had finally went through industrialization. Russian Empire had built railways and beautiful historical buildings on Finnish land. Alexander the Great had gifted Finland the Karelian province, but later unfortunately it had to be taken back by Stalin due to political, strategic reasons.
@cinderellaandstepsisters The question is, where did Finland's journey to greatness start? Finland was under heavy oppression under Swedish rule. Why didn't Finland declare independence from Sweden?
How much do they pay you? I could make a troll account and if the standard is that low and you still get paid I would probably make a descent wage without even fooling anyone.
What do you mean, "Decades if not centuries". Finland only came into existence at the end of 1917. Before that, it was a battlefield between the Swedes and the Russian Empire with the borders changing regularly. Having been under the control of the Swedish monarchy and a Swedish aristocracy for centuries except for two short periods of the 18th century when war raged between Russia and Sweden. In 1809 a war between Sweden and Russia resulted in the Russians under Alexander I seizing the territory roughly equating to the area of Finland kicking out the Swedish aristocracy, replacing them with Russian oppressors. Finland became a so-called autonomous grand duchy within the Russian Empire. The autonomy was nonsense. It must be remembered that St Petersburg is not far from the land inhabited by the Finns. Following the near revolution in Russia in 1905, a separate Parliament was established in Finland elected but universal suffrage. It was a talking shop as although they could enact what they liked, the German Czars in St Petersburg simply refused anything that they or their advisors didn't like. The Russian aristocracy effectively continued to rule the roost. It was only in the chaos of the 1917 revolutions in Russia that the Finnish Parliament declared an independent Finland. Following an attempt by relatives of the German Czar to impose a German aristocrat as king it was not until July 1919 that the Finns elected their first president of an independent republic. The border with the Bolshevik administration in Russia was only settled in 1920. DECADES ? .... Yes ....... CENTURIES .... Absolutely not !
And still, the Finnish tribes were in the area and south & east of it long before the the Slavs/Russians arrived. Does not matter if it was the battlefield of Swedes and Russians. It was the home of the Finns, who were for hundreds of years the ones suffering and killed.
First finnish tribes habitated region of Finland since the last iceage and they have also genotyped tribe that had finnish genome in them. Before 1809 finnish actually had been part of swedish empire for around 700 years.
Finland wasn't "the battlefield between Russians & Swedes". What today is called Finland was the eastern part of Sweden for almost 700 years, ie part of the core Sweden. During those years they were frequently attacked by first Novgorod & later Muscovy. The invented, or should one perhaps say annexed, name Russia, came later.
”Finland only came into existence…”. Etc… well, as a Finn I know my country’s history better. You can read more from Wikipedia. At least try to stay in facts and don’t make your own statements 🙏
Proud of my Finnish brothers, perkele! Greetings from Sweden!

Europe will no longer be in a position to help the Ukraine due to deindustrialization.😊
Europe should pay all Ukranian soldiers 200.000 euro

The host is the epitome of "mansplaining", yes, you can speak better English, we get it, and your interviewees were often struggling to find the right word to express their ideas since English was not their first language, but they will get there in a second or two. Yet he felt the need to constantly finish their sentences for them, as if him trying to save a second or two of the air time was his biggest contribution to this show. NO, it only makes him that much more annoying, LET THEM FINISH WHAT THEY WERE SAYING, then you can add whatever opinions you want on top of them, instead of this elementary school level of attempting to correct your students on their grammar, while they were perfectly capable experts in their respective fields to form their own thoughts and reach their own opinions, FFS!
Jag hänger inte med i engelskan.

For Finland, NATO membership costs 70-100 trillion per year, plus operational planning costs, maybe the same amount more, after all, Finland is on the verge of bankruptcy, these expenses are more than Finland's economic budget, you can guess where the money comes from.
Are you talking about rubles or Japanese yen?😮
Finns doesn't have money buying food, how they gonna pay. Finns are good in laying professionals way 😅😅😅
@@Monirazimir We need to have money for food because we are not hunter-gatherers, nor sheepherders, like you...
Hi polititions do NOT be Naïves .Russia all in all is 144 Millions inhabitantst. While Eu with US are 800 millions inhabitants , So he will not take that big Ventre . Because if goes to any he can not keep , because Russia has not enough Soldiers on the Ground . So those Money is better to spend on Social well fare ,Housing , Éducation, Health care , higher Salaries for your people prosperity in Peace ,than to push for war.
All EU countries are in deep debts of Trillions , they do not have no that money . Mostly they will tax their people who are like Milky Cows .
I remind you what Kesinger American Foreign policy architect said " if you are againt the US , it is dangerous , but if you are a friend it is FATAL.". Finland did it and will become like others in debt. USA has 34 Trillions usd in Debt . Can any one of you tell me how they have that ???
Housing , Education EconomyGdp .
Less than Russia. Health Care Recession , Criminality , Homeless per hundreds of thousands in the Streets of Washinton Newyork .. etc 30 millions without house or apartement , prisons are overloaded . Home jacking , cars jacking , attacks night and day on people , attacks on Supermarkes , Shops .... Is that model you want yo have in finland , or any other EU country , go and see on TH-cam. And then reconsider your position .
Happy!? really!? ohh please!

The Ukraine needs a president...Canada needs a prime minister.😊
Finland is poorest of nordics coyntries.
And...?
Still a welfare country and a high standard of living.
there are historical reasons for that... Most recently, heavy war reparations for the poor Soviet Union...🤔
Finland is the shield and sword of the nordics and still more democratic and rich than most of the EU.
But still strongest….
There's nothing NATO can do to help the Ukraine.😊
we want sauli back
Quit being COWARDS for 1
The truth is we've had a long good relationship with Russia, nobody was threatening us but now its all destroyed by our own leaders 😢
Russia has always threatened Finland and will always do.
Taina muuta Moskovaan missä ystävät odottaa❤
Under the light of Russian Empire, Finland had finally went through industrialization. Russian Empire had built railways and beautiful historical buildings on Finnish land. Alexander the Great had gifted Finland the Karelian province, but later unfortunately it had to be taken back by Stalin due to political, strategic reasons.
Nikolai II tried to russify Finland and Finland was under oppression. 1917 Finland declared its independence.
@cinderellaandstepsisters The question is, where did Finland's journey to greatness start? Finland was under heavy oppression under Swedish rule. Why didn't Finland declare independence from Sweden?
Finlands leaders have done the biggest blunder of the century.
NATO ❤
can you explaine your thoughts?? how? when? where?.... kremlin potato bot, eh??
NATO 👎🏻

How much do they pay you? I could make a troll account and if the standard is that low and you still get paid I would probably make a descent wage without even fooling anyone.
What do you mean, "Decades if not centuries". Finland only came into existence at the end of 1917. Before that, it was a battlefield between the Swedes and the Russian Empire with the borders changing regularly. Having been under the control of the Swedish monarchy and a Swedish aristocracy for centuries except for two short periods of the 18th century when war raged between Russia and Sweden. In 1809 a war between Sweden and Russia resulted in the Russians under Alexander I seizing the territory roughly equating to the area of Finland kicking out the Swedish aristocracy, replacing them with Russian oppressors. Finland became a so-called autonomous grand duchy within the Russian Empire. The autonomy was nonsense. It must be remembered that St Petersburg is not far from the land inhabited by the Finns. Following the near revolution in Russia in 1905, a separate Parliament was established in Finland elected but universal suffrage. It was a talking shop as although they could enact what they liked, the German Czars in St Petersburg simply refused anything that they or their advisors didn't like. The Russian aristocracy effectively continued to rule the roost. It was only in the chaos of the 1917 revolutions in Russia that the Finnish Parliament declared an independent Finland.
Following an attempt by relatives of the German Czar to impose a German aristocrat as king it was not until July 1919 that the Finns elected their first president of an independent republic. The border with the Bolshevik administration in Russia was only settled in 1920.
DECADES ? .... Yes ....... CENTURIES .... Absolutely not !
It's not just the history of the country and the time of independence, it's the mind of the people.
And still, the Finnish tribes were in the area and south & east of it long before the the Slavs/Russians arrived. Does not matter if it was the battlefield of Swedes and Russians. It was the home of the Finns, who were for hundreds of years the ones suffering and killed.
First finnish tribes habitated region of Finland since the last iceage and they have also genotyped tribe that had finnish genome in them. Before 1809 finnish actually had been part of swedish empire for around 700 years.
Finland wasn't "the battlefield between Russians & Swedes". What today is called Finland was the eastern part of Sweden for almost 700 years, ie part of the core Sweden. During those years they were frequently attacked by first Novgorod & later Muscovy. The invented, or should one perhaps say annexed, name Russia, came later.
”Finland only came into existence…”. Etc… well, as a Finn I know my country’s history better. You can read more from Wikipedia. At least try to stay in facts and don’t make your own statements 🙏
Russia is not Soviet unie
Soviet Union was Russia.
@@SavolaxMitsu Soviet Union was Russia + 11 other coutries. Ukraine, Estonia, Armenia, Georgia...
@@mikkorenvall428 Whitout Russia, there would never been Soviet Union. Those 11 countries were under Russian occupation.
Russia is the Russian Empire. USSR was the Russian Empire wearing just another hat.
Artical 5 should be changed EU and NATO needs to ACT faster, to stop the like of wath it is happening to UKRAINE To Other country. Viva Finland.
