St Petersburg is well within NATO artillery range from Finland is your argument that Russia should annex Finland or that Finland shoud not be a member of NATO?
- c-smile 8y agoFinland is not a NATO member. For that very reason and due to old agreement with USSR.
- sequence7 8y agoYou are very right, I apologise for being very wrong. I would delete my comment but I think it's best to leave it.

- sbmthakur 8y agoNo. I meant the Baltics. "Well within" was a wrong phrase. Apologies for that. Finland has nothing to do it. My point was that it's not that difficult for Russians to consider NATO a hostile force even if the West calls it a defensive force. NATO already outguns Russia on many parameters. If there is a full-scale war and China supports NATO, then it's pretty much game for Russia.
