Here is the article this article is using for its source: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/world/europe/russia-finland-border.html
Edit: Yes, the article isn't great, and clearly has a Russian bias. I was just linking it becuase its the original, and more complete source.
This is one of the least informed articles I've ever read. Phrases like "From Moscow’s perspective, the Russians need to bolster their defenses to protect themselves from NATO expansion" is just a cherry on top. Lmao.
NATO expansion? 😂
If Russia hadn't threatened Sweden and Finland, neither would have dropped neutrality and joined NATO.
Why? That is the stance Russia has been communicating for years.
And when countries like Germany turn around and say they want the strongest army in Europe and support the idea of spending 200 Billion yearly on defense, that is perceived as a threat.
It is classical security dilemma.
Because they don't care about NATO nor they fear any kind of invasion they've left borders with with countries in NATO empty for three years. Germany is in their right to spend however they want. r*ssia delenda est
Again, this is the stance of Russia, as the NYT reported. Doesnt mean its true. But if the media would only report if politicians say true things, well the news would be rather short.
this is the stance of Russia
This is a flimsy pretext that nobody believes, including the Russians.
