The finnish ML party paper had a good editorial on the incredibly sussy refugee "crisis" on the russian border, in finnish, translated below:

NATO barbed wire on Finland's eastern border

Finland's foreign policy establishment, the coalition-led bourgeois government and Parliament are continuing where they left off in the previous term. Russia must be isolated at all costs.

The sanctions policy dictated by the US and the EU has driven Finland's economy into a deepening recession. Bilateral trade with Russia, which used to flourish, is dwindling to zero. Trade disruption and recession are now fuelling unemployment and poverty.

The policy of sanctions, slavishly pursued by the Finnish political leadership, has pushed up the price of electricity, fuel, food and housing. This is not an estimate, but a fact.

In addition to the economic hardship, the closure and blockade of the eastern border has now been added to the burden borne by Finns. Only Russia and the Russians are blamed for it. The bourgeois media are on duty at the eastern border and adding fuel to that propaganda. Party chairmen and ministers are making threats - we are back to being tough boys and girls.

The situation is ominously reminiscent of the anti-democratic era of the 1930s. The Civil Guard(anti-communist militia, basically the Whites from the civil war) practised warfare and schoolchildren practised weaponry. Communists, socialists and peacemakers were isolated in prisons and detention facilities. Russophobia was the number one concern of the state leadership and bourgeois newspapers.

During the wars, Finland was a brother-in-arms of Nazi Germany. Now that place has been taken by NATO. Reconnaissance planes and drones from the member countries of the military alliance fly along the eastern border. Helicopters buzz around the border, watching to see if some hapless Afghan is "sneaking" into Finland.

On top of all the fuss, Finland's eastern border is guarded by border guards from a foreign power. NATO barbed wire has been erected along the border, which is said to be more effective than domestic wire. The only reason for this is to prevent refugees from countries destroyed by the wars of aggression waged by the USA and NATO countries from entering Finland.

It is estimated that 25 000 asylum seekers will arrive in Finland this year. Most of them will come via the southern and western borders. Some will even be picked up by planes and buses.

Why is it that only the eastern border is being completely closed, but not the other borders? Why can an Afghan refugee not apply for asylum at the eastern border, but can at the western border? Is this a new NATO policy?

oh also lmao Kissinger is dead
