Finland is a member of the EU. Can any geopolitical expert on here explain to me how Russians appear to be able to stroll across the border into Finland?

Are you talking about how one individual was apprehended today for crossing the border on foot? Either over a frozen lake or just skirting it...?

Im no expert in geopolitics but Ive lived here my whole life. We have a massive border, 1340km of it, mostly through forest in uninhabited forest. Theres wildlife as the area is, well, wild, and this is not Trump-land with fences to keep people out. We have coexisted with them people for a long while now. Automated sensors to a degree and patrols to an extent but its proper forest, not a park with swan-ponds. I dont think you understand the area if this is the instance you are asking about?
 
A KitKat and bag of crisps is Brexit Britain... "Charity stuck at home".

 
After years of watching the likes of Carole Catwalladar calling this on twitter and in her journalism and getting absolutely vile abuse, it saddens me to see all these Brexiteers who adamently denied Putins involvement, just move on to be experts on war and geopolitics and fully supporting Ukraine.
I have not seen one leave voter say, 'hands up, Putin interfered in the referendum and our democracy, the people who warned us were right'.
Expose the outsized influence Putin had on the referendum and call for a new vote. Putin is in a no win situation here and there'll be a huge european reset when he's gone. A second chance of sorts.
 
Seriously though Bruce, what would you expect him to say in Brussels at a meeting with the EU…something like “the USA and UK have been pushing the EU hard to get behind sanctions and finally Germany has caved in”……
Or he could have said, The US and EU have been pushing the UK hard to take in more refugees but they are unwilling? But he didn't.
