Ukraine war shows Europe 'not strong enough': Finnish PM https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2022/12/02/ukraine-war-shows-europe-not-strong-enough-finnish-pm?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=facebook&fbclid=iwar0fwfxvmdovqgox1kv-vtjq0srpl3zsijxi2rxm0cxzknmqylmks3s1oj0 Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin speaks at a joint news conference with Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi (not pictured) during her visit in Rome, Italy, May 18, 2022. (REUTERS File Photo) Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin on Friday offered a "brutally honest" assessment of Europe's capabilities in the wake of Russia's war on Ukraine, stating bluntly that "we're not strong enough" to stand up to Moscow alone. Visiting Australia, the leader of the pending NATO member said Vladimir Putin's invasion and occupation of neighbouring Ukraine had exposed both European weaknesses and strategic blunders in dealing with Russia. "I must be very honest, brutally honest with you, Europe isn't strong enough right now. We would be in trouble without the United States," she told Sydney's Lowy Institute think tank. Marin insisted Ukraine must be given "whatever it takes" to win the war, adding that the United States had been pivotal in supplying Kyiv with the weapons, finance and humanitarian aid necessary to blunt Russia's advance. "We have to make sure that we are also building those capabilities when it comes to European defence, the European defence industry, and making sure that we could cope in different kinds of situations," she said. Finland won independence from Russia almost 105 years ago and inflicted heavy casualties on an invading Soviet army soon after despite being hugely outgunned. The 37-year-old Finnish leader decried European Union policies that had stressed the importance of engagement with Putin and said the bloc should have listened to member states who were part of the Soviet Union until it collapsed. Since joining the European Union in 2004, countries such as Estonia and Poland have urged fellow EU members to take a tougher line on Putin, a stance tempered by France, Germany, Italy and Greece -- which favoured closer economic ties with Moscow. "We should have listened to our Baltic and Polish friends much sooner," Marin said. "For a long time, Europe was building a strategy towards Russia to closen our economic ties, to buy energy from Russia... we thought that this would prevent a war." Marin added that this approach had been "proven entirely wrong". "They don't care about economic ties, they don't care about the sanctions. They don't care about any of that." 2 Shares

Lol.... Exactly my thought but on the other hand, was thinking carrot and stick approach. "I must be very honest, brutally honest with you, Europe isn't strong enough right now. We would be in trouble without the United States," she told Sydney's Lowy Institute think tank. @bold is debatable on Nairaland. 2 Likes 1 Share |

You ever get tired of watching the false narrative of western media? Russia is weak, Russia has no technology, Russia has no ammunition, Russia ran out of missiles, on and on the merry go round goes and the USA citizens gobble it up and we all watch and read their hatred of Russian aggression, but yet reverse the situation that was overlooked for years to that of the USA and well everyone knows the USA would have a justified war and countries would murmur but nothing would be done. Now they are done with their false narrative and they now say the truth which every right thinking individual knows God bless putin God bless mother Russia. 12 Likes |
