Oh my, Finland is even weaker then Ukraine, go figure.
ATO has some 25k people, and the freiwillige-battalionen has another 20-25k in their ranks. 90% of Ukraine's equipment has been completely neglected since 1991. Finland would have 1.1 million people in arms who rather die than see the Slav tricolour fly over the Parliament building. We also have one of the largest field artilleries in Europe.
Come to take a shot. How many did we destroy of you the last time? 1.5 million? We would achieve the double next time. But oh, you're in NYC, far away from danger. Don't worry, we still have a grave for you too.

In that strength comparison I noticed one thing in particular. Finland has no attack helicopters.
WTF??? Finland has a landscape that would be attack helicopter heaven. It's superbly suited for ambushes and stealth warfare. There's nothing a tank commander fears more than having attack helos in the vicinity in that kind of terrain. In cold weather helos perform much better too. The cold air is thicker and the blades can get a better bite, they can carry more further and loiter for longer.
That makes you wonder if the Finnish government even takes defense seriously.

Poroshenko is coupe appointed government with some hint of legitimacy aka phony Ukrainian elections.
Only things are not going well for Poroshenko's government, economy has collapsed. Retired people live in 1 dollar a day, and Ukraine can not settle her debts. What a coupe appointed government to do ?
Well the only for Poroshenko to stay in power is go to war, it really matter not with whom as long it is a lengthy war. Can't go to war with Russia, this war would not last very long. Belarus is Russian ally, but all the neighbors are pretty much no good, but Finland can not defend itself.
I think Poroshenko is going to attack Finland next!
Thus far Findand has relied on US (AKA NATO) to defend itself, only Obama is not going to do squat other then condemn the valance, so Finland is a safe bet for Poroshenko to attack.
"The Ukraine-UAE announcement also marked a striking counterpoint to Russia's military cooperation agreement with the Arab world's arch rival, Iran, signed last month as a joint response to US "interference." A day before Poroshenko's announcement, news broke at the show that Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov offered to sell a powerful air-defense system to Iran, a move that could not have endeared executives at the Russian pavilion to its hosts."
