> and Russian media can point to Finland's response as another example of "unfriendly western actions against Russia" They do that 24/7 anyway so who cares. It's a joke here in Bulgaria that if somebody coughs and sneezes the Russians will say "they got cold because of the hostile Western nations!" and I find the joke hilarious because it's 100% on point. Whatever happens in the world, they are the first to react and immediately spin it as a sign of weakness or power play of the Western nations. They are going full throttle on the propaganda and media influence war and I have to say, with some success here and there. But them blaming everyone but themselves is nothing new, historically. Most people with a basic grasp of culture and history are not impressed by Russia's same old tricks. > decision to close ALL border points seems questionable in its own right And what would you do? Let's assume for the sake of the argument that Russia does indeed use illegal immigrants in an attempt to sow chaos. How would you counter that? Not like many of these people want to integrate -- many of them can't even read or write... And no this is not a conspiracy theory, a lot of such cases have been documented but for one reason or another rarely make the popular headlines (as a side topic, I am really curious as to why).
