Windows to Russia

Going to be a good year for the pears and our white lilac given to us from the EU area is finally well set. It seems to have had a few rough years and took its time being happy about coming from its home, but it has definitely finally accepted its new home…

The pear tree shown is in its happy place and in a few years will be huge. The other tree is not so happy, yet is doing fine….it just would have preferred a different place it seems…

The lilac should this year really take off and we should have a bunch of pears this year. I may have to thin them again, for they will still be too heavy for the tree…

We will see…

Finland joining NATO means its end as a sovereign country. Russia prefers a neutral Finland and for all these years it has been a good thing and worked well. Now we have a bought and paid for Finnish Gov and it seems they desire the end to Finland…

NATO will take away everything and leave a border of a husk to be killed…

Putin, 6 years ago on Finland & NATO

“We have withdrawn all our armed forces from the borders of Finland to a depth of 1,500 kilometers. And, despite the tension in the Baltic Sea region, nothing was done that could cause concern to the Finns.

Incidentally, we are doing this on the basis of Finland’s neutral status. Imagine Finland joining NATO. This means that the Finnish troops will no longer be independent, sovereign in the full sense of the word. They will become part of NATO’s military infrastructure, which will suddenly appear on the borders of the Russian Federation.

Do you think we will continue to act like this: we have withdrawn our troops for 1,500 kilometers, so they will remain there, or what? We cherish the neutral status of Finland, we treat it with respect, but it is not up to us to decide this issue. Paraphrasing the statement of one of my Finnish friends, I could say that the NATO organization would probably be happy to fight Russia to the last Finnish soldier. You need it?”

Not like Putin has not been talking about Finland relationship before. Now why would Finland decided that a relationship with the Russian Bear is a bad thing now? Sad to see Finland has a sold out to the western devil for a government…

So it has been good knowing you Finland, for either NATO will take your soul….or Russia has to take your land to keep NATO from putting nukes on it…

Up to you Finland…

🇹🇷 #Turkey is against Finland joining NATO.

📍According to Erdogan, the decision is a mistake. “Scandinavian countries have a habit of showing a “hospitable attitude” towards terrorists, letting them into parliament. Therefore, we cannot yet look positively at it.” He also recalled that earlier NATO made the wrong decision by including Greece in the alliance.

📍For a new member to join NATO, all countries of the North Atlantic bloc must support this decision. At least for Finland, the road to NATO is already  closed.

Unless NATO decides the rules don’t count?

Then that will tell you who wants war the most…

He forgot to tell the part that we also forced this war, because we are sick, stupid and evil…

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby admitted that the United States and their allies had been militarising Ukranian Armed Forces for eight years to ensure their preparedness for a war against Russia.

Yes, the war we instigated, by creating a Nazi resurrection…

I remember well my first battle or skirmish…you never forget…

💬”…It was my first tank battle with a real enemy. I had no thoughts at that moment, only mechanical actions: load, aim the gun, fire. I had fear, but I never indulged it…”
