Guardian's rhetorical question - The pressing issues for Finns, Estonians and their neighbours will be whether, in a year’s time, the partner on whom they have relied for the past three decades to keep them safe – the United States – will still be there for them. For as long as the spectre of Trump looms, and Ukraine remains imperilled, security concerns will dominate the minds of voters.
No thought that Finland, by joining Russia's mortal enemy by this enemy's own admission, , may have Russia concerned that this enemy now lies next door, as in Ukraine, and the quiet little neighbour might not longer be treated with the benign indifference previously shown over the last 70 years. The migrants at Finland's border are just the start for Finland. The Finns have made a serious cross for their own backs here, and if the Finns ever thought that the US had any regard for them, they should ask a Ukrainian in a couple of year's time, when the Ukrainians have at last truly understood what has happened to them. The US kept Ukraine safe? The sheer ridiculous naivety of our commentariat allied to the sheer murderous folly of our leadership - it really is so like the times leading up to WW!
