Because Ukraine was never beyond possibility.
Because a trained reserve and a high will to defend the country remain foundations of Finland’s defence.
Because, as Hillel said, "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?"

This VERY shady individual, Armando Mema, portrays himself as a “Finnish politician” while conveniently hiding the fact that he has not been elected to anything
He spreads literal russian propaganda in both English and Finnish
This is how russian propaganda operates in Finland.
I'm a great admirer of Kasparov, but this is just poor analysis. Are there anything indicating other European countries would be weaker than Ukraine? Historically, attacking cities have rarely broken the spirit of the population or the leadership - and this includes in Europe.
I know some European countries score low on "Would you want your country to continue fighting with uncertain outcome if attacked?", but to an extent that is what people say in peace, and if actually attacked "let's draft our youth to beat the barbarians"-spirit tend to kick in.

Every European politician who has ever talked about "sovereignty" needs to respond to this

Nice reporting on our study 👍

"Within meters" sounds... very close. In fact, even 1-2 km is very close. This does not look good at all.

@CorporalFrisk - contract signed. Looks like Germany will soon be the biggest operator of the M18. 15 boats ordered now. Official requirement for 2035 stands at “40+”, per Kurs Marine.
Das Bundeswehr-Beschaffungsamt BAAINBw hat mit dem finnischen Bootsbauer Marine Alutech Oy Ab einen Vertrag zur Beschaffung von 15 Mehrzweckkampfbooten des Typs Watercat M18 AMC geschlossen.

People spend far too much time wondering what a Handley Page Atlantic would look like in a Viggen scheme. Well, here's the answer, so we can all move on with our lives now. Goodnight.
I will say I find it quite strange that these continuously run at loss as the Kokkola-Helsinki flight (which is the one I use regularly) tend to be booked at a high rate, meaning it does feel like there should be the possibility of shifting at least some cost to the ticket price.

Finnish PM Orpo (@kokoomus) tells @Yleisradio that shooting down Russian aircraft intruding would be "very dangerous" in peacetime, and that it's "unlikely" increased Russian hybrid attacks would cause danger to civilian lives. I have questions... 1/2

The second part is straight up false. Russian hybrid attacks have already cost civilian lives, and endangered several more. Most famously the Skripal poisoning in Salisbury, which led to the death of Dawn Sturgess. 3/3
(I’ll just leave this here)
I argue that we do have options for how to meet Russian aggressive attacks, and until we actually do something, regardless of any political statements about attacks being "unacceptable", we are in fact accepting them.

A quick overview of what I've done and written recently, and what is coming up on the blog.
...and, yes, Aftonbladet reported accurately what was said.

It would be interesting to see why the MoD favors Sweden. One aspect may be a recent emphasis on defence industrial considerations compared to service requirements.
Another could well be that Sweden happens to rely on the US a lot more than some commenters want to acknowledge.
