New 'Iron Curtain' descends across Europe: Poland, Finland and Latvia to construct thousands of miles of barbed wire fences to reinforce borders against 'weaponised migration' from Putin and his crony Lukashenko

Finland To Erect Costly High-Security Fence Along Russian Border

[ZERO] Finland has announced it will "build the wall" - along its lengthy border with Russia as relations between the two continue rapidly deteriorating due to the Ukraine war and Finland's bid to join NATO.

The plan, unveiled Friday, is a 200-kilometer 'high security' fence along its border with Russia, which in total is 1,300km in distance. This comes amid fears that Moscow could use migrants to exert pressure on Finland, concerns that grew after President Putin's 'partial mobilization' order was issued in September.

#1 Why do they get a border wall and we don't?

I thought walls didn't work? So why does Israel have them?

#2 "Across" Europe doesn't quite cut it though.

#4 The parallel to the iron curtain would be excellent if there were large numbers of vintage Western Europeans trying to bust into the USSR to join the socialist paradise. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened so the UK Daily is 180 degrees out of phase with truth.
