Finland accuses Russia of deliberately ushering migrants - most of whom are seeking asylum in Finland - to the border zone, which is normally heavily controlled on the Russian side.
Why would Russian be scheming to invade Finland? Putin has been trying to recapture some of the Soviet state’s territorial advantage. That in no way involves Finland, you’re just fear mongering
Thats a hindsight error. Before the invasion everyone argued that a full on war on Ukraine would be insanely stupid due to the economic implications of being a pariah state.
What are you talking about, this war has been in the horizon for years, at least since the invasion of crimea and that was almost a decade ago was putins plan clear
Technically speaking Grand Duchy of Finland (1809-1917), which was a state inside the Russian Empire, existed for longer than independent Finland has so far. That will change in 2025, if we get that far.
I believe Russian Imperialists are looking at this area because of that history. Dunno how seriously, but NATO and the DCA should put a cork in that.

Oh right, forgive me. For a second there I thought Russia was acting irrational, silly me
Even the most deranged leaders act according to goals. The invasion of Ukraine was actually very rational from russias perspective
