If Russia attacked nay European nation you can bet your ass that NATO member states would declare war on Russia. The Russian Military is extremely corrupt, its a shadow of its former USSR glory.

Are you insane, Pojat?

Do you guys know anything about Russia anymore or do you still get your info from Cold War propoganda from the 1960s? Most present day Russians honestly don't really care or harbor anything against the West. In fact, most of their pop culture is imported from the West and they are trying to imitate our society. They don't have any plans on going on an imperialistic rampage anytime soon. Most of them just want to try to make a living and fix up their own crappy-ass nation.

Not really

Russia is the only country that can possibly attack Finland for starters.

Yes, Russia is the only nation that could invade Finland but it is a completely different question to ask if it would. Personally I think that the lovely system we call capitalism has brought us "world peace". "what the hell?!" you might ask but let me explain: Today all the great powers on our planet live in an economic symbioses. The west needs cheap stuff produced in the far east and the far east needs western money to keep growing and producing more cheap stuff for the payers to buy. This is way china and US will not go into war any time soon. And what does this have to do with Finland and Russia? Well Russia and Finland have strong commercial ties to the rest of the world and to each other, so an invasion would be harmful to both as it would lead to financial "restlessness" and economic pressure to end the conflict. Älä huoli, Ei se ryssä mitään saa aikaan muutenkaan... (Finnish for "Don't worry, the Russians ain't gonna do none... ")

Edited by Pahat Pojat: 5/25/2013 12:16:08 AMWe can only hope from now on Europe will not continue disarming itself enough for the Russians to consider landing an invasion against Europe. Sweden has already disarmed itself completely and the northern part of Europe with Norway could fall relatively easily to the Russians where they could have a connection to the Atlantic ocean once they are done with Norway.

But the British navy and other navy's would make protect there even if those countries do grow weaker.
