    I apologize for not being too attentive to this thread anymore due to the lack of meaningful developments.

    But does being on Russia's shitlist mean anything? Referring to the Hungary debacle, but I mean not in the sense of you being a little nation in the scope of a Russian invasion. I mean being put on Russia's "unfriendly" list, whatever that means.

    Don't apologize. No one here is sad when your gone, we only get sad when you come back.

    And no, being on Russia's bad list does absolutely nothing. The whole NATO thing you know...
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Absolutely nothing will happen.

    Imagine playing WoW where a vengeful player "vows vengeance" on you for Needing same loot he did. Absolutely nothing will happen.

    Russia has no capability to "avenge" anything considering that sovereign nations make their own decision if they wish to join NATO, or put anti-Nazi Russia plans in action.

    And yeah, NATO. Good luck stopping NATO, Nazi Russia, lol

    It means Russia's trying to sound scary and intimidating, but everyone knows they can't back it up with action.

    All that vatnik forum troll work on finnish sites saying it'll never happen, it'll be delayed forever. All gone, for nothing

    So, things that have demonstrably increased in strength since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine:

    Russia- no
    NATO- yes

    But I’m sure this is all just some brilliant strategy on Russia’s part. @Ihavewaffles@Shalcker I’m sure you’d agree, no?

    Nobody around here misses your presence when you're "not being attentive", that you can be sure of.

    Hmm...does Finland now have to vote to let Sweden into NATO? I assume not, but technically Finland is now a member...

    Think Finland is not a full member yet but will be in whatever conference is coming in 2-3 months. And Sweden applied during a time Finland was not a member, hence why Finland's approval is not needed or required.

    It's a worthless wasteland now. As with anything RuZZia touches. Not to mention the Finnish welfare system really isn't in dire need of millions of people living in poverty, suddenly appearing to leech on the system.

    I love how they still lurk here, judging by their last activity statistics on their profiles.

    I think the Finnish government worded the laws about Finland itself joining NATO as such that Sweden is automatically also accepted, so we wouldn't have to vote on it anymore.

    Which is a shame. We should have extorted something out of Sweden for this. Nothing major. Maybe a statue saying how we are better or something.

    Edit: saw some good suggestions on another forum:
    * Sweden officially acknowledges in writing that Sauna was invented by Finland.
    * The use of Swedish word for sauna, "bastu", is to be outlawed and replaced with the correct Finnish word instead.
    * Sweden also acknowledges in writing that meatballs are also a Finnish invention.

    Finland doesn’t even want it. It’s would be a massive infrastructure bill waiting for them full of Russians.

    More reasonable than some Finns out there.

    I’ve seen some of them suggest things like stripping Mats Sundin of his place in the hall of fame, which is just, hell no, not under any circumstances.

    I'm a reasonable man, as everyone around here can attest to.
