the finnish problem putin is incredibly retarded to believe anyone is still falling for his daily nuclear threat routine. but there is a tiny sliver of chance putin can intimidate and terrorize enough generals in the kremlin to go along with a nuclear strike. the west is prepared to respond very quickly. unfortunately, a nuclear retaliation to russia's first strike will involve utterly destroying st. petersburg along with moscow and 277 other known launch silos.  needless to say, finland will not be happy about this because of the proximity of nuclear devastation, the ecological damage and potential poisoning of finnish territory. the wind generally blows from finland to russia, so airborne fallout has been taken into consideration, but sea currents are another matter.
