Finland Gives US 15 Military Bases

Finland will open 15 of its military bases to the United States. The Finnish Parliament unanimously approved the Defense Cooperation Agreement between the two countries. This will allow the US to use the bases and bring equipment, supplies, and soldiers to Finland. The US will also be able to create military zones which only Americans will have access to. This creates a framework for a permanent US presence in Finland. It’s a crazy switch up. 2 years ago, Finland was a neutral nation uninterested in working with the US or NATO. But after Putin’s invasion, he’ll now have US forces on his border in several spots. Of course now in Finland but also in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia where the governments are seeking a permanent US presence. They should at least name one of the bases “Fort Putin” out of appreciation. —————————— Produced by: Ben Wheeler, Philip DeFranco Edited by: Ben Wheeler Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research: Ben Wheeler, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #usa #finland #russia
