Finland's 🇫🇮 impact on NATO

I moved to Finland this year and became resident for work and studies, and the Finns are a proud, strong, and resilient people. Unfortunately, most of the Europe never notices how amazing Finland is, since it's not a common travel destination compared to other countries in Europe. But Finland is a beautiful country, a rich culture of sauna and sisu, and the warmest friendliest people I've ever met. I've never been so proud to call this place "home".

Love to our Finnish brothers and sisters from Estonia! What a joy to have you in the alliance :)

Finland has some of the coolest gamers I know. + rep

Finnish people are as hard as nails, combined with their intelligence they are formidable. 🇫🇮

The fighting spirit of the Finns in defence of their homeland is nearly unmatched. An honor to have them on board 🇵🇱🇫🇮

As a Dane, it’s a pleasure to welcome our Nordic brothers and sisters into NATO! I’ve worked with many Finns and Swedes in my life and have nothing but love and respect for our great neighbours! Now we finally fight side by side!

I'm Swedish and I'm grateful for having Finland as a neighbor, and now part of NATO. Finland is the best neighbor one can have. I just wish that our politicians would realize that (most normal Swedes understand it). Sweden can learn a lot from Finland and I wish that we would help Finland more with border patrols and other things that they would appreciate.

Lithuanian here and personally i really appreciate Finland joining Nato because it does make me feel safer having strong friend around. Long Live Finland !!! Greeting From Lithuania LT🤜🤛FI💪

Great to have Finland on board with NATO, from a NATO "global partner” - Australia. 👍🇦🇺 🇫🇮 🇫🇮 💪 🇫🇮 🇫🇮

'Enemy always comes from the east. If the Enemy against all odds comes from west it's called flanking.' -Finnish saying

As a Canadian I’m very proud to have Finland as an ally. We love playing Hockey against you, but we love fighting alongside you too in the real world. 🇫🇮 🇨🇦

As a Norwegian growing up during the cold war, I always hoped that the day would come when Sweden and Finland would join the alliance. It's now a dream come true that we will finally have a joint nordic defence with Finland and Sweden joining NATO. Finally our brothers and sisters in all the nordic countries will stand up and fight as one integrated defence force against any potential aggressor(s). We all know how capable the Finnish military is, and its proud, brave history standing up to the USSR during the winter war and continuation war! I am really thankful! Big hugs from Norway ❤🤍💙

Welcome to NATO, Finland. Much love from Slovakia.

I go to the local Finnish Fair every year. Every single Finnish person, even those in the US, are incredible. They are all outdoors people, they love fishing and hunting. They are always ready for winter here, and always help their neighbors. But, above all, they are proud of where they have come from, and love to share their heritage and culture. Finnish bread is especially GOOD.

Love to Finland! No better friend, no worse enemy. 🇫🇮🇪🇺🇩🇪

Finland is a beautiful country with incredibly friendly people...and they certainly know what it means to successfully defend against an invasion from the east...they will be a great asset to Nato! Welcome!

Great to have you Finland🇫🇮 We are stronger together💪 #NATO - Greetings from Czechi

Brothers in arms! Finland is GOATed! Love from Sweden

The fighting force of 280K refers to the number of Finns assigned at a given point in time to the wartime organisational units - there are at least ~900K in the reserves of trained soldiers who have completed conscription service, and who can replace casualties in the fighting units. It is an honor to have trained with Finns in Finland, and served alongside Finns in the Middle East. Finland is an exemplar for us, your brothers, in Sweden.

I saw SISU and realized what one Finnish man can do… Imagine an whole army!! The swedish brothers will join you soon! 🇸🇪
