Russia has summoned the Finnish ambassador in Moscow, after Finland signed a new agreement on military co-operation with the US.
Monday’s deal grants the US broad access to the area of Finland’s long border with Russia.
Moscow said it would “take necessary measures to counter the aggressive decisions of Finland and its Nato allies”.
Finland joined Nato this year in response to Russia’s Ukraine invasion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin recently accused Nato of having “dragged” Finland into the bloc, and announced the creation of a new military district near Finland’s border.
Can you imagine having to go to those meetings?
You’re basically paid to go plop yourself in a chair, while some paid appartchik rattles an absurd lecture at you.
And it’s not as if you’re ever really off the clock. It’s almost certain the Finnish ambassador’s Moscow home has been bugged up the wazoo. So they can’t walk around their appartment naked or get freaky with that attractive guy or gal who was winking at them at the bar. Hell, if you meet some rando and you bond over your love of pastries, you have to worry that they’re not trying to steal your underpants because they want to have your DNA on file or steal your poo particles to see if you have underlying medical conditions they can exploit.
