Finland looking much better against a possible Russian invasion, than it did during the past Winter War.
This clip shows how 'better' Finland is in comparison to Russia despite the population difference.
Finland has really done its homework, planning and preparation.

In my view. Finland's best 'asset' against Russia would to support a KARELIAN (St Petersburg) INDEPENDENCE next door which would really hamper any Russian intrusion.
Karelian independence would bring the last 'Scandinavian' region back into the group.
Russia v a Finno-Karelian situation would be the last thing Russia would want.

Finland's expansion began when it was a Grand Duchy, ruling the Dutch. It smashed Swedish power and its horse tribes have flattened Moscow. Vinland in America was probably in the Fin Empire of fine wines.

There are 36 Weapon & Ammunition Manufacturing in Finland businesses as of 2024, an increase of 6.7% from 2023. Suomen Vastarintaliike ("the Finnish Resistance Movement") is the Finnish branch of the Nordic Resistance Movement. The FRM and other far-right nationalist parties organize an annual torch march demonstration in Helsinki in memory of the Finnish SS-battalion on the Finnish independence day which ends at the Hietaniemi cemetery where members visit the tomb of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim and the monument to the Finnish SS Battalion. A wehrmacht blitzkrieg pincer movement will seize Moscow from north and south.

ya off your meds yet again

If it helps 'Karelian Independence' (a Scandinavian region) from Russia? Russia won't have the advantage against Finland and geographically as well if it has to front up against the Karelians (Murmansk & St Petersburg) also.
You just never know?  ;)

Take into account also, if China invades Russia's Siberian region for the Resources. Russia won't be able to deal with many fronts. I would easily put money on China to get revenge on Russia for what the USSR did to China in the past. China has already retaken lands off Russia and Putin knows he can't do a thing about it, like the Soviets would have.
China would easily prefer to war with Russia, rather than the USA. Chinese soldiers can't swim that far to America, especially when they need Siberia first to march across the top into Alaska. ;)

Karelians are only part of it. Unification with ethnically Finnic Estonia is part of the group's program. From 1918, the Fins were right, nazi and reich, with a German group led by a moustache corporal who borrowed their swastika.

Hieno suomalainen viimeistely vihdoin. 'The fine Finns finish finally'.

It's done a lot more for itself military wise than Australia has done for itself.  ;D
Finland would kick Australia's arse!

Russia has 200 modern tanks and losing them fast, Finland has over 100. It can field over 1 million troops against the exhausted Slavs and Siberians, totally absorbed by Ukraine.

Russia is between a Rock (Europe) and a Hard Place (China).
China is keeping its enemy 'closer'. ;)

Totally agree.

China isn’t planning for the next war, that planning been done.

They are looking at the best situation they can be in a 100 year time.

Yes but did they calculate what Finland's plans are for China?

Finland's plans for China are none.
While I was in Ukraine. Plans for Karelian Independence was some.
Russia would find it 'harder' to fight Finland, if Karelia put a spanner in its works.

Russia would find it 'harder' to do anything if 'Yellow' China came 'officially' marching into its lands like the Soviets did to it long ago.

China has already usurped Russian lands. It has 500,000+ citizens and military people already inside Russia like a good 'ally' should. It tried this with India, but its not working as well. India puts up a fight. Putin just puts up with it and the best he can do is try to 'offer' FREE land, buildings, houses to white Russian citizens to move out and reclaim, but white people are too scared to mix it with the Yellow Hordes.

China has already 're-taken' islands and other 'disputed' parts from the Soviet era. Just this year - they just waltzed in and mobilised on some Russian land in the eastern parts. Putin did and said nothing - like a good 'ally' and maaaaaaaaaaaaate.  ;D

If China had to make a choice as to who to war with 'directly'? It would be Russia, not the USA. Russia is now the easy bit, it's not the potent USSR anymore. Siberia is rich in resources, has yellow people in it and gives the Yellow Man an official passage to the north finally. China wants Siberia (Oil !!!).

Russia will be at a loss having to fight a NATO Europe on one side and China on the other. Not even its ally in India would be able to do much to help as it will have its hands full with China who has got Pakistan and Bangladesh to flank it.

It's complicated, but in a way - it's not.
Russia's great era (and it was great) is almost at an end.
The Master Plan of White Man moving into the East and Crusading into the Middle-East to remove Yellow and Brown people, is coming to an official 'end'. No more 'entire white northern hemisphere' (Yin/Yang).
...you see. 'Australia' and Oceania have put a spanner in the works there.  ;) White people have to go 'down under' to get across.  ;) ;) ;)

'Russian Karelia region is visited by tourists in both summer and winter when possible activities include pulling a sled like a dog team and running from the banya stove to an ice hole and back.'
This is a ritual military training for suicide terrorist Karels. 

Sing with me O' Uralic peoples !!!

That's a direct copy of the Moscow Funeral Song from when the city was burnt to the ground when Napoleon and his Karels sang in victory.  Napoleon kept his swastika inside his coat.

It's good to rip the Russians off.
Hitler obviously ripped Napoleon off.

In Eurovision blitz singing, Hitler won a slam-dunk.
Napoleon was defeated in his anti-climax 'Not tonight Josephine' and met his Waterloo.

No water in French loos back then.

The Finnish bog is a mythical place. Traditionally, terrifying stories have been told about our bogs to ensure that children at least would not venture onto the bog – for they might sink into the swamp! A hiker is safe on the bog as long as they stay on the marked nature trail.

Well we know what happened when two Americans ventured off the path in countryside England.
One of them turned into a werewolf in London.

werewolves are extinct in Britain and Russia
get real

Lucky they did or they would have eaten all the Unicorns.
