    They pulled similar shit on Belarus-Polish border. Flew couple thousands people from Iraq promising them asylum in the EU, then walked them across the fence and closed the gates behind them. When Poland refused to let them in and some people froze in the fields in between border crossing it made Poland look like monsters in the media rather than Lukaschenko, so it worked like a charm.

      In Finland the social media ghouls have had similar wishes of hosing the third parties down so they freeze to death. Or even just shooting them.

      Even the financial minister (foreigners might remember her racist blog posts highlighted during the summer) said that legalities shouldn’t matter.

                  Sure. What can Finland do to Russia for an appropriate measure? Now we seem to just try to hassle the other people stuck in the situation without a valid reasoning

                    Shut that shit down by closing the border. It’s unfortunate Russia is using those people as a tool, now they might have to travel to a different border.
