NATO Buildup in Finland Puts Hostile Anti-Russia Army on Putin's Doorstep
Mike Whtney | Clearly, the Biden administration has no interest in Finland other than using it as a forward-operating base in the West’s war on Russia. | Washington’s so-called “enhanced US military presence” in Finland does not serve any national interest or provide any material benefit for the American people. It is a clear provocation designed to intimidate Russia and expand the war beyond Ukraine. Not surprisingly, it replicates the same conditions that triggered the conflict in February 2022, that is, it installs NATO’s military infrastructure in locations that pose an existential threat to Russia’s survival. Russia cannot be expected to live with hostile military bases and missiles on its doorstep any more than an ordinary man can live with a gun pointed to his head. Putin must respond in order to defend his country’s national security.
