tbh I think its perfectly reasonable. If a neighbouring country suddenly is part of an opposing force that has sanctioned and denounced, why wouldnt you put some troops in a defensive position?
if he didnt and nato uses finland as a staging ground for an attack everyone would call him a dumbass who sucks at strategie (I mean.. he does suck at strategy, but still)
and no Im not a russia bot, putin can go suck my balls
They've always had troops on our border, this is just Russian bullshit as usual. They won't be pulling troops out of Ukraine to re-man the units on the border, because Putin knows we're not actually a threat
And isn't the border between Russia and Finland something like 1300km long? Good luck covering all that even if the majority of the Russian army weren't needed in Ukraine or, you know, dead.
And the funny thing is, the russian nuclear submarines are based in murmansk, which land resupply route could be cut by a finish advance anywhere along the border. So, russia really has to protect this border in case of a conflict with nato.
