HELSINKI (AP) — When Finland joined NATO earlier this year, Russia threatened retaliation.
Now, hundreds of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have appeared at Finland’s border from Russia, seeking entry into the Nordic country.
Finnish officials say the sudden surge in asylum-seekers is no coincidence. They accuse Russia of driving the migrants to the border to sow discord as payback for Finland’s membership in NATO.
Russia is a lying, trafficking, devious neighbor. Rotten to the core how it is baiting migrant from their own warzone in Syria into their country in hope of a full paid scholarship, just so they have human material that they then bus to the borders of Finnland and Poland (as belarus is a russian vassal state). Disgusting behaviour and against all human rights. We need to document this behaviour so nobody is growing up thinking this country is anything other than a criminal human trafficking failed state that only exists to export a backward ideology into the world and sow conflicts between nations. They have not achieved anything of value in the last 30 years that is remotely worth a medal or in effort to bring peace between ethnics. And the amount off russians defending this behaviour is sickening. They deserve everything that is coming down on them for this.

That’s hardly fair - I’m sure Russia tries to “encourage” some of the migrants to go fight in Ukraine as well …
