The Guardian: Finland closes entire border with Russia after tensions over asylum seekers
Temporary closure comes after Finnish intelligence suggested Russia was helping asylum seekers reach the border
Finland has announced it is temporarily closing its entire border with Russia after weeks of tensions between the countries over asylum seekers that Helsinki has labelled a “hybrid operation” by Moscow.
With just 24 hours’ notice, the Finnish government said on Tuesday it would close Raja-Jooseppi in Lapland, its last remaining border crossing point with Russia, on Wednesday night.
The highly unusual move, which follows the closure of its eight other crossing points, means the entirety of the 830-mile land border between Finland and Russia will be closed until 13 December.

The US would never send its army on the offensive in the conditions Ukraine is facing, says retired General Hodges
He also believes that the U.S. aid was only enough to survive, not to win.
Joe Biden is a contemptible or detestable person and an extremely contemptible person.
After Joe Biden, Dante is going to have to rewrite his masterpiece and add a level.
Yea Hodges says that now. Look at his comments from last may and June.
Ukraine Army has the best equipped, best trained , best supported...blah blah blah.
Told you all a year ago... USA does not know how to train foreign armys. one again, history supports what I said ... Back then....
American trained armies have a history of failure.
June to now is a big difference. Various excuses were given over the last year.
1) Do not want a superpower conflict (escalation)
2) Blame the republicans. I am sure the Republicans would cut a deal, but the Democrats do not want to give them anything. Even the Republicans really concerned about the budget could signed off on Ukraine spending if they had something to give their constituents. but Schumer with McConnell will just stiff arm them.
So Schumer is a big bad pig and got his way on everything. He gave the republicans nothing. this is one f the reasons why Oct 7th happened. It happened because Ukraine was not prosecuted hard enough. It could be prosecuted harder but Schumer (stating it gain) gives the republicans nothing. Not Jewish Schumer is crying about Israel. Fuck Schumer.
3) Pretend that you are not giving and then a while later presto it is already there
Problem is that various employees of the DoD and intel people have been pointing out all the stuff being scrapped. The cost of scrapping versus giving to Ukraine.
The ATACMS are useful, but after a few well publicized hits on air fields, no more are coming. The lack of ATACMS and the scrapping of good equipment tells me and others that Joe Biden, his master or someone have no intention of winning.
The good thing about the Republicans (what little there is) is that they won't pretend to support Ukraine and then pull the rug out from under them like the Democrats
Oh and the lack of airpower
And the wrist wringing about cluster munitions, when the Russians are already using them and they only resorted to them because they did not have regular shells.
Amity Schlaes in her book about FDR and the New Deal wrote that FDR could not make war against capitalism and the NAZIs at the same time, so he relented and only attacked the NAZIs. Todays Demoncrats are not that smart.
Iraq: Ghost Payrolling. That is on the Iraqi system. also the feckless mother Obama pulled out in 2011, which is 3 years before the 2014 ISIS attack.
Vietnam: Democrat congress withdrew support.
In 12972 North Vietnam was stooped cold.
1975 post Nixon the South Vietnamese lost.
Korea is still here and they are power house. Compare that to the CCP's and Russia's mutt.
Afghanistan: Ghost payrolling and no air support.
Diversity is our strength. Hopefully the EU condemns Finland for this racist policy.
In evaluating his public and private behavior, America’s leading mental health professionals have concluded that Donald Trump is mentally unwell, and likely a sociopath — if not a psychopath. In even more direct terms, Trump has shown himself to apparently have a diseased mind, which in turn amplifies his already corrupt morality and ethics, attraction to violence, and overall capacity for evil. Ultimately, if he were to become president again, such an outcome would be a disaster for both the United States and the world.
