Finland and Sweden: plans to build bridge joining them in face of russian aggression

[butters]

Finland and Sweden are planning to fund a massive bridge that will connect the two countries, aiming to enhance security in response to potential threats from Russia.

The proposed bridge, spanning at least 40 kilometers between Vaasa in northern Finland and Umeå in northern Sweden, revives a concept first discussed in the 1970s. This ambitious project gained urgency following the two countries' recent accession to NATO.

With Finland and Sweden's new NATO status, the strategic importance of the Kvarken Bridge has grown. Should Russia blockade the Baltic Sea, Finland would rely on road transport from Haparanda in Sweden to Tornio in Finland. The Kvarken Bridge would significantly ease this dependency, providing a crucial alternative route.

Finland has earmarked £170,000 for a feasibility study to investigate the bridge project. "Things have changed radically in Finland within a short time, and this requires logistical solutions," Tapio Ojanen, deputy director at the Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, told Yle.

I mean, @Rightguide could ask Vlad to not blockade the Baltic, but a bridge could be romantic for the two of them.

He can be swept off his feet by the shirtless Vlad and carried across on horseback.

It is the 21st century…their love can finally be shared in the open.

Wrong guide finally found someone to make him complete, it’s why he has been alone all this time.

I'd toss the alleged judo master right off that friggin' bridge. As I've mentioned before, the best way to fuck up the Russians is to put an armored division in the Suwałki Gap between Belarus and Kaliningrad and deny the Russians access to their Baltic naval bases altogether. Search my posts it's back there somewhere. Meanwhile get an education.

Now you are touting Wikipedia as a reliable source? You really need an education.

But it is a better choice than your usual craptastic ones so we can give you a mulligan.

Poland and NATO have already beefed up resources and amped up military exercises in the Suwalki Gap area. And with the admission of Finland and Sweden into NATO, the TINY Kaliningrad oblast is effectively SURROUNDED. (So NOT in a strategically strong position.)



Meanwhile:

Russiaguide is worried about the Suwalki Gap, but Russiaguide would cede THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF UKRAINE to Putin.



Russiaguide obviously doesn’t want to acknowledge the strategic importance of Ukraine’s location / position on Belarus’ SOUTHERN FLANK, and Ukraine’s location / position on the FRONTLINE with Russia.



By helping maintain an independent sovereign Ukraine , or, ideally, having a sovereign Ukraine join the EU and NATO, the defensive position of ALL EU and NATO members is GREATLY enhanced, while the defensive AND offensive position of Russia and Belarus is GREATLY diminished.

Ukraine is “worth it”. (Worth fighting for.)



Also:

Russiaguide is a coward, a traitor, and a dumb sonofabitch.

$170K seems a remarkably low figure for a major feasibility study. They can put at least two zeros on that.

Another coward and traitor.



Russiaguide is in "good" company.

There's a reason why Russia never deployed more than 10% of their military to deal with Zelensky's nazis. Plenty of nazis in the north too, who were never properly punished for their role in the attempted liquidation of Leningrad.

It's going to be fun watching hypersonic missiles fall like rain upon Helsinki.

Yeah, that’s why Putin already had to do one mass mobilization and needs to do another, while also TOTALLY placing Russia on a wartime economic footing.



Side note:

Russians were really no better than the Nazis - and they had to literally be forced into fighting against the Nazis.

The noble Russian is as big a myth as the noble confederate general / soldier.

Russia has been outnumbered since day 1 in Ukraine, and yet Russia is still winning. Western Europe's economies have been destroyed trying to prop up the Zelensky Junta, now Uncle Slime is forcing them to dismantle their social welfare programs and remilitarize like the good little vichyists they are. Kharkov is going to fall and then the Ukrainian lines will collapse, and then Russian victory is inevitable no matter how many Ostlegionen get thrown into the meatgrinder.
