    the Finns decided to give it up with almost no debate.

    I wonder if there was any event that make them worried about being invaded.

        You’re an even better western propagandist than you must think I am. You say the west basically forced putin’s hand in getting vast quantities of soldiers and soviet vehicles blown up in disorganized pushes, thus making Russia infinitely more vulnerable than it was prior to 2022? Not to mention…

        western fomented coup

        Support for joining the EU was already high. Yanukovych won the 2010 election promising closer economic ties to the EU. His sudden refusal to sign a trade agreement resulted in protests. Violent crackdown on protests resulted in revolution. For you to believe the west caused this, you would have to believe they psyop’d 70+% of the Ukrainian population into leaning towards the EU, then somehow convinced the Russian puppet to lie to get elected, then set off the aforementioned events.
