There's going to be a press conference later today from the Finnish government, but apparently last weekend Russia sabotaged a gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia. Not good.

Yle source: Finnish government to make announcement on gas pipeline leak in Gulf of Finland; "not an accident"

Russia really going to try spreading themselves even more thin when they can't even contain Ukraine?

 

[Iceman]

It doesn't make much sense, but Russia is Russia. All the big newspapers are now reporting that the government believes the sabotager to be Russia, but let's see what the government officials say themselves. The press conference is in an hour and a half. Usually, Finland is moderate, even timid with these things, but now we're with NATO. Everyone is pretty nervous right now.

Yeah, you’ve been relatively neutral prior to this but Russia has forced your hand in joining NATO and being ready for anything. Best of luck to you friend. I hope Finland doesn’t get dragged into anything. I had a really fun holiday to Finland a couple of decades ago so I’ve always felt a bond to it.
