Finnish news sites are reporting that Erdogan has ratified Turkey's decision and Finland is now a member of Nato. Well, unless Posti manages to send the papers to Jyväskylä or something.

Again though, the procedure is the procedure. Finland will not become a member until the exact moment Finland delivers its acceptance letter at the US State Department, which it can do only after NATO has formally invited Finland, which can be done only after Turkey has delivered its acceptance letter. So Finland is not yet officially a NATO member but the paperwork will take a few more days at least.

The discourse about sweden into Nato has taken a weird course the last few months. If anything the swedish government has licked too much Erdogan butthole, not too little. I dont get wtf the finns think should have been done.

Though it would have been good fun watching Carl Bildt do the extra licking, sadly retired as he is.

What makes you think we think something should have been done? I don't think anyone (sane) on this side of the Gulf of Bothnia assigns any blame to Sweden. We all know it's the governments of Turkey and Hungary being petty shits.

Honestly its probably more that swedish journalists and shitlords like Carl Bildt (above) keep painting/insinuating it that way here as a means to heckle and score cheap points. I dont really think its a common opinion in Finland per se, sorry for generalizing.

The Helsingin Sanomat artpiece is not trying to guilt-trip Sweden, instead it's sympathetic to her plight. The picture is not Sweden trying to drag down Finland, it's Finland trying to pull Sweden to the shore.

Also, it's a continuation piece to this one from May 2022:

That's logo of Air Force Academy, Air Force as a whole already dropped swastika from its logo.

It's an ancient hindu academy.

I'm sure they too had a little meeting about maybe changing the logo but were like "nah it's fine"

Seriously boys, no more swastikas. Nazis won that fight, it's theirs.

At this point Russia would be economically better off if it were to put all its resources towards remaking the eastern end of the country into a 1:1 scale mirror image recreation of Europe via land reclamation, mountaintop removal and dredging out the oceans.

I've been quietly hoping for a Beijing backstab, disarming Russias nuke arsenal together with NATO.
In turn they get huge swathes of Northeast Asia, and agree to a gentlemens agreement that everyone forgets Taiwan exists for a decade or two.

Taiwan part won't happen, but it does seem that China is at least looking into the possibility and options for retaking the parts of Manchuria that were lost to the Tsar in late 1800's.
