He actually answers the questions he's being asked. Quite refreshing for a politician.

have you tried watching infowars.or Russel brand

Finland is cool

@Joel Westermarck with the taxes that they pay It is available in my country 🙂. $0 nothing is great except the education Healthcare can be made available anywhere if u have enough money and the money they have to pay is high so i don't think it's anywhere near a good place to settle down Yeah it's just an opinion

@Qadros eggs Yes, the taxes are high, but it pays so that every citizen gets access healthcare, education, six weeks paid holidays etc. The yearly productivity is one the highest in the world with happy people.

@Stefan Börjesson ok I said that because I don't want people hating on my channel

As a Finnish citizen, I can confirm he actually is exactly like represented on this interview. I notice he isn't quite as well-spoken in English as he is in Finnish, but he's been super nice to everyone around him. Then again, Finland has had very similar history as far as the presidents go: not confrontational at all.

Well I’m Australian and army even we are on alert here as we have to back NATO too obviously the Russians have not learned there lessons from the 1940s when they fucked with Finland back then and got there shit ended especially that famous sniper that ended a lot of Russian back then

@Froggy Legs Saouli is very smart WHY Russia had to launch a special military operation. And I think he knows very well. So joining NATO? It's just a formality. Finland has been participating in a partnership with NATO for at least a decade, it has been informal if for a long time only a document has not been signed. Erdogan already has his reasons for not allowing them this official entry, given that he has been flirting and cooperating more with the Russian Federation than the EU for a long time and successfully balances between the USA and the EU, it is clear to read that he is a very careful and wise leader of his country. Considering that members of the Russian Federation prevented him from being removed from the head of Turkey and even attempted to assassinate him, he personally and the entire Turkish nation owe a lot to the Russian Federation. I think that this connection between the Russian Federation and Turkey will continue to strengthen, both militarily and economically and geopolitically.

As smart as Saouli might be, he should know WHY Russia had to start the special military operation. And I think he knows. So joining NATO? Makes me wonder what they really will gain from that. Erdogan is already ok with what HE could get out of it.

@John Woelfel Poking the bear is the only and fatal mistake.

I'm really surprised how people are amazed that President speaks briefly and honestly - don't politicians should be like him? It should be a norm : you ask precise question, they answer directly.

Simpletons speak the same.

@Christopher Jones Doesn't "Jack Smith" sound like a name a Russian might use if he were pretending to be American ?? As if Putin is trustworthy..

@Mike mike nah

Peace.

@Jack Smith The Russian world's liar Putin can impress just people with broken common sense, but nobody else! Sometimes people think once they pass good school they become cleverer....but sorry to say in most cases it's just their foolish illusion!!!

As an American I can just say on the behalf of all of us here, we wish we had a President who was as articulate and outspoken as this man. May God Bless Sauli Niinisto!

@Enrikas Butavicius BAHAHAHAHA Ukraine is Nazi

@Bolshevik Productions The occupiers came to us in Ukraine,1 With the brand new uniform, military vehicles, But their inventory melted a bit, Bayraktar... Bayraktar... Russian tankers hid in the bushes, To sip the fucking shchi with a bast shoe. But the broth overheated a little bit in the bushes, Bayraktar... Bayraktar... Sheep came to us from the east For the "establishment of a great country". The best shepherd of sheep flocks is Bayraktar... Bayraktar... Their arguments are all kinds of weapons, Powerful rockets, machines of iron. We have a comment on all the arguments Bayraktar... Bayraktar... They wanted to capture us right away So we hid a grievance for the orcs. He makes ghosts out of Russian bandits, Bayraktar... Bayraktar... Russian police is starting a criminal case, But still does not find a killer of ruschists¹. Who is to blame that there is a capercaillie² in our field Bayraktar... Bayraktar... The Kremlin freak is conducting propaganda, The people swallow the words (of the propaganda). Now their tzar knows a new word

@Enrikas Butavicius fool

Imagine how nice it must be having a well-spoken leader who can form coherent sentences and give a great interview. Must be nice

Yes it is.

Kyle how are you doing today

@D Well you wrote "Since Obama ", So I can only assume that President Biden in your opinion is not a very good talker, Why because he stutter? Other than that he is a very intelligent man , He might makes a few blunder in his speech which is acceptable because of a little speech impediment but still gets his point across, I would like to stop assuming that's what you meant, by you just elaborate a little more clearly to clear things up.

@Patony Brooks please don’t add things if I did not write about it I did not write about it I mean exactly what I wrote and not anything you have assumed .

What a sensable, thoughtful and well spoken gentleman! Finland can be proud of such leader.

Just like Ukraine is proud of Zelinsky.

If you would live in Finland you would have a real education and known that it's not senseble, it's sensible

Nobody forces a Finn to do anything he/she doesn't want to do. .. examples: Winter war and the Continuation war

Wow, he handled her loaded questions very well -- clearly, calmly, openly and honestly.. Wouldn't it be great if more political leaders were like this?

Ah.. a real leader who knows what he’s talking about and doing with a demeanor of trust.. must be nice Finland. Be proud of this great president. 🇫🇮

I,think Finland is not a threat to Russia

Just Happy Fins.

Wow, he handled her loaded questions very well -- clearly, calmly, openly and honestly.. Wouldn't it be great if more political leaders were like this?

He is not talking like a politician. This is only good, if everything goes well otherwise he will get into trouble.

And you wonder why Finland has been considered the happiest country in the world. Such levity, and sincerity based upon a clear-eyed practicality!

@Rob Blackmore Brazil has most homicides in the World, by FAR.

@Juju Rellama +30°C is also cold?

@Rob Blackmore are you fr💀

I live as neighbour to Finland and they are not Famous for being ”happy” tho x)

This is why countries like Finland are as good as they are. Incredibly down to earth, none of the unnecessary posturing and constant drama. While some governments get stuck in an endless cycle of blame and redirect, riling up people against each other, countries like Finland just, you know, move on and make good things happen.

@Gee M Well, you are making some interesting points. I guess I haven't had the experience of freedom of speech being low in Finland during my lifetime of close to 40 years or heard any stories strongly indicating that from my family/relatives a couple of generations back or any other secondary sources etc (a matter of definition what "low" means of course, and I am really talking about post WWII, since it is around that time my parents were born and I don't really have access to primary sources from before then. My intuition/limited knowledge indicates however that any lack of freedom of speech before WWII would be more because of outside forces than Finland/Finnish values itself). At least when talking about it from a legal point of view or when comparing to the rest of the world at large. I guess I was also making the point that a "conformist culture" (whatever that might mean) does not automatically translate to a lack of freedom of speech, but I am fully aware that I may have misunderstood something about your argument or some nuance about it.

@Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him Quit trying to push your reality onto others.

@MD What? im from finland and ive never ever heard of someone pulling mental gymnastics quite like this. I did not even read the rest of your novel after the first sentence.

I'm really surprised how people are amazed that President speaks briefly and honestly - don't politicians should be like him? It should be a norm : you ask precise question, they answer directly.

That's very right

Hello Sonia how are you doing today

Pros: things would get done Cons: it’d be too easy to detect bullshit.

One of the nicest, collective, self spoken and down to earth person and president I’ve ever met. Kiitos Presidenti Sauli Ninistö

Good morning Breda

Where are you?

You are welcome Brenda.

@Potter Grant am good thanks, you?

Hello Brenda how are you doing today

I like this president. Calm, collected and without unnecessary speech

@Hull Brady obviously you cant judge the whole character of a person by its voice. Let alone his competence as a president.

Putin is a lot more calmer...

All that despite the woman trying to get him to say he was afraid

Wow, he handled her loaded questions very well -- clearly, calmly, openly and honestly.. Wouldn't it be great if more political leaders were like this?

Finland's president seems extremely well spoken, intelligent, calm, rational and oriented towards finding solutions. I wish my country (Austria) had such politicians... He's of an exceedingly rare sort in central Europe and the western world in general.

@Patrick Byrne Yes, I've seen that in the news.. And I hate to admit it, but I think we're just a few years behind of you in that development. The way I see our political landscape, it's not looking very promising. I really hope we can turn this around before we get to that point.

I wish more presidents and heads of state were as calm and answered as well as him. It is refreshing to see.! There was no pushing his own agenda, just answering the facts and not sensationalising. I hope others follow his way of being interviewed.

Now it’s easier to understand why a well-educated and peaceful Finland give him an approval rating of 91% 🇫🇮

I have much respect for your country. The Finns are very brave. My DNA showed mostly Scottish and German but there was son Finnish. Thought that was cool!

Hello Lauri how are you doing today

Population of Only 6m thats why he's happy...

@colin francis ok?

Last fight https://youtu.be/dpoFCCQYllw

Finnish people solve their problems sitting naked in a sauna, that's why they are so calm and collected. If all world leaders had a meeting in a sauna all worlds problems would have been solved. My hometown in Norway was the northernmost town in the world, and we are closer to their capitol Helsinki than to our own capitol Oslo. I appreciate our neighbours so much

Apparently Putin likes saunas too...

Appreciate them more by being who they have always been... neutral

The feeling is mutual

I love how Americans seem to find his way of dealing with the questions as something very special. This is basically how the nordic countries news programs and politicians have been interacting for the last 50 years i would say. Straight and to the point. We dont have these reality host leaders that seems to be more about scandals and nonsense than actual politics. 😉

@Jack Oh Hello my friend! I'm just checking in to see if all is well with your family, friends, and you!!! If there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Listening to American politicians speak can make you feel like you've slipped off into schizophrenia.

@Jack Oh Hello my British friend!! I believe it's up to all of us to love all people. It would be great to meet some day. Consider coming to Seattle and Las Vegas and we can go to the best MLS football team, Seattle Sounders and then to the best NHL team Seattle Kraken!!!! Whenever I meet a Brit, I always become friends!!! You are great people!!! I have been to the UK about 20 times and I've loved each time!!! You are great people!!! The US stands stands with its greatest ally: the UK. It's like they say: Australia, Canada, UK, and USA... You mess with one and you get all four. I hope for peace, but we cannot allow Putin into our countries...

@Jack Oh I think the United Kingdom is one of the best countries I've ever been to.. Although I've never been to Northern Ireland, I've been to England, Scotland, and Wales and I absolutely love how everyone is proud to be from the UK, but they are very proud to be from their own part of the UK!!!! What a great place the United Kingdom is. When the UK was suspected to be attacked by terrorists, I was in the US. Americans were absolutely furious and demanded the US got involved. The UK is one of the countries the United States will stand behind. I don't think a lot of Brits, Scots, or Welsh know that, but the truth is the United States loves the UK along with other countries in Europe. I just don't understand why so many Europeans hate Americans. I've lived in both Europe and America and I have to say this whole "America vs. Europe" thing is absolute rubbish. We need to build a world where we can live together and allow the freedoms that people deserve. I live in Seattle now but my wife and I are building a home in Las Vegas. We are also looking to build in Brasil, the UK, and South Africa. It would be great if your family and you would come pay us a visit in Vegas!!! Just so you know, people in Vegas absolutely LOVE the Brits!!!! I remember a time a few years ago when I was down in Vegas a few years ago at Caesars Palace and two gorgeous women asked me if I would take a picture of them. It quickly became evident they were from England when they asked for a photo in front of the Celene Dion theatre. I gladly took their photo for them and as I turned around, there were about 20 people clapping and starting singing "God Save the Queen"!!! I took 14 people out to dinner that night and the British women were so thankful. It was great because nobody said a thing about what nationality they were from but instead we were all just happy to be together as humans!!!! Jack, I have a buddy from Hilversum, Holland and friends from Darmstadt, Germany who will be meeting me in Vegas this summer. It would be great if your family and you would join us. Everything would be on me. You will pay for nothing. One of my favourite things in the world is to be with family and friends and I don't think people do that enough. Please consider my offer my friend!!!

@Jack Oh Jack, are you seriously saying you pay £125 for a 2 bedroom per month? That is unbelievable. Where I live, a 2 bed goes for about USD1,600 to 4,000!!!! You have a great deal!!!! Are you on the council? Also, can you explain what "the council" is?? Thanks my friend!!!

The thing with our Finnish president is that he sees himself as equal as anyother finn and is not above anyone. Care about everybody else. This was really seen a few years ago when he travelled from Finland he was in economy class on the aircraft reading a newspaper or when he went on a for him interesting event at a auditorium and the seats were full so he saw that and sat down in the staircase and was 100% fine with that and didnt want to disturb anyone or when he was as a president shoveling snow from his own home and journalists photographed him and basicly told them that its fun to do these normal things. Theres alot of high rank people that can learn from him!

Many people have read the thirty-eighth and the thirty-ninth chapters of Ezekiel, and have wondered and longed to know what those two chapters can mean; what it is to which they refer. And, all this time, the first verses of these same chapters of Ezekiel tell definitely what is referred to; what nation of to-day is meant in those two chapters. Read the verses: “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.” In the Revised Version it runs thus: “Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rush, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” And the same connection is found in the third verse, just following, and also in the thirty-ninth chapter. Now, we shall not attempt an exposition of these two chapters; we simply point out the meaning of the names that are spoken, that all may plainly see what nation is referred to, and that that nation is Russia. MON 26.2 The text reads: “Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” MON 27.1 Meshech was one of the grandsons of Noah. He passed up from the country of the Euphrates, through Mesopotamia, into what is now Russia, and became the origin of the people who settled in the place and built the city which is now called Moscow—the Muscovites—“and who still give name to Russia throughout the East.”—Rawlinson. MON 27.2 Magog was another of the grandsons of Noah. He peopled all of the north of Asia: that part which in ancient time was called Scythia, and in our days is called Siberia. MON 27.3 Tubal is another of the grandsons of Noah. He settled in the region which still from him bears the name Tobolsk. MON 27.4 Now, the “prince of Rosh” is the chief of all these; and that word “Rosh” is the root-word from which comes Russia and the Russians. 5 So, the thirty-eighth and the thirty-ninth chapters of Ezekiel are the Word of God to all people to-day, concerning the place which is occupied by Russia, its position, and its career, in the last days, and up to the very last day. The account says definitely that it shall be “in the latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8); the great feast of the fowls of heaven, of Revelation 19:17, 18, is mentioned in Ezekiel 39:17, 18; and the six plagues are referred to in Ezekiel 39:2, margin; and the seventh plague, in Ezekiel 38:22. See Revelation 16. Throughout Ezekiel 38 and 39 this power is spoken of as coming from the “north quarters.” And by looking at the map it is easy to see that russia does occupy the north quarters of the greater part of the whole eastern world. MON 27.5 There is another prophecy which comes in, in this connection, and which makes plain to all people the connection between this power—Russia—and all of those western powers of Europe that occupy the territory of Western Rome. There comes next a scripture that shows a blending of all these: not a blending in unison, but a blending in their interests, which causes continual jealousy and contention among them. It is the prophecy concerning!!!

@Anna More like a WARMONGER'S NIGHTMARE.

@Raj Lowkie you mean the Russian in Eastern Ukraine? To some extent yes, that's why Putin refused to make this move for a long time.

President Niinistö is supported by about 95% of the Finnish population, which is a statistic that sounds like North-Korea, but he really is good, honest, intelligent and quite funny as well.

So is Young Kim.

Almost as popular as Mannerheim.

Imagine having this guy as your leader...you would feel invincible as a nation.

Reading the comments: I agree with them. This calm, articulate, intelligent man is a good man to be a role model for how a leader should be. Certainly different from the crassness and hyperactive Trump.

Indeed. Thats the difference between a classic conservative like him and populists like Trump.

This is my Country, the place that I love. A Country made of people who face hardship and adversity with a kind heart and strong approach. In Finland there is no such a thing such as "read between the lines" we tell it like it is, no chit-chat, no gossip... It takes a while to make friends with Finnish people as we are very selective of whom we let into our lives, but once we are friends, we are friends for life and we mean it! I now live abroad due to work, but I miss my Country so much, I miss being with REAL people 🇫🇮❤️🇫🇮

Hello how are you doing ??

Gotta love how he speaks. No exaggerating, dramatising. Simple and reasonable. Seems like a good man. Wishing Finland all the best and be safe!

He's a wise president, gives us understanding of his opinions without any direct answers that might spoil the relationships.

One have to be very careful before answering such sticky questions. Being President one don't have "Owon Views" rather a Nations views with support of a Parliament and NSA what to say and what not to say. Great interview.

I'd trust this guy to lead the world. He says what we're all thinking without saying too much. I'd just like to say that we understand

@Larry2timez Larry2timez when Jesus said He did not know when He would return, He was actively humbling Himself and taking the form of a servant (see Philippians 2:7–8).

@Larry2timez Larry2timez dont care

@Billy Anderson don’t believe you mr Anderson

@Larry2timez Larry2timez move along pal God is my father and christ is the door I don't really care what you believe so don't be trying to push your crap on me go talk to somebody else

@Billy Anderson keep on reading lies Christ was a prophet who performed miracles there is only one God who knows when the end is . How can Christ be god if does not know when the end is ?

I get this "Master Splinter" vibe from Sauli Niinistö. Calm, reflective, honest and straight to the point. I absolutely love it.

He speaks way more directly in English than in Finnish as he lacks the nuance of a native English speaker, and the speech patterns have to be simpler. I feel like it's easier for a foreign journalist to get a straight answer out of him for that reason. His Finnish speeches tend to be very subtle and contemplating. The calmness and the thoughtfulness comes through in any language though.

Wow, he handled her loaded questions very well -- clearly, calmly, openly and honestly.. Wouldn't it be great if more political leaders were like this?

Refreshingly honest, calm and balanced. Pity there are not more leaders like him in politics.

@RealNyeTheScienceGuy Jesus or NWO? Talk about a false dichotomy! Neither… I choose Logic and we would not have war if everyone else did also.

@Michelangelo Buonarroti for many good reasons that you don’t want to hear 👂

Not only is Finland a wonderful country it has an exceptional political leader.

keeping cool, calm and collected. If only all leaders had the integrity this man does

Now it’s easier to understand why a well-educated and peaceful Finland give him an approval rating of 91%

Awesome decision Finland. All the very best to all your precious people. Viva Finland Viva!

I think you can basically sum this up by the saying "It's better to be safe then sorry". He doesn't necessarily think Russia would attack Finland but he's taking the safe option that also puts Finland in a better position to make a positive change in the world and lead humanity to peaceful times.

@Nights Timo See, I get this point but it's also a matter of. Does Russia TRULY believe NATO could invade a country? No. Not everyone would agree. Putin is just using it to justify something he knows is wrong.

You know you have something special when other people (journalist) almost instantly calms down to the same rythm as yourself. Very rare to see qualities of this nature in politicians these days.

Interesting. I find it interesting that he reveals the phone call contents to the public. Strategic move - for calm. Smart man.

@george plimpton you dont know what u talk about

Yeah Putin's calm before the storm

When did he do that? He only gave generalizations without actually revealing any of the contents of the conversation.

Good job Finland, freedom and happiness, a free world 😊

The president of Finland🇫🇮 it was nice hearing from you to the world: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope.

Romans 5:3-4

Putin is the best salesperson for NATO ever, by far.

And, all this time, the first verses of these same chapters of Ezekiel tell definitely what is referred to; what nation of to-day is meant in those two chapters. Read the verses: “Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.” In the Revised Version it runs thus: “Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, the land of Magog, the prince of Rush, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” And the same connection is found in the third verse, just following, and also in the thirty-ninth chapter. Now, we shall not attempt an exposition of these two chapters; we simply point out the meaning of the names that are spoken, that all may plainly see what nation is referred to, and that that nation is Russia. MON 26.2 The text reads: “Son of man, set thy face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him.” MON 27.1 Meshech was one of the grandsons of Noah. He passed up from the country of the Euphrates, through Mesopotamia, into what is now Russia, and became the origin of the people who settled in the place and built the city which is now called Moscow—the Muscovites—“and who still give name to Russia throughout the East.”—Rawlinson. MON 27.2 Magog was another of the grandsons of Noah. He peopled all of the north of Asia: that part which in ancient time was called Scythia, and in our days is called Siberia. MON 27.3 Tubal is another of the grandsons of Noah. He settled in the region which still from him bears the name Tobolsk. MON 27.4 Now, the “prince of Rosh” is the chief of all these; and that word “Rosh” is the root-word from which comes Russia and the Russians. 5 So, the thirty-eighth and the thirty-ninth chapters of Ezekiel are the Word of God to all people to-day, concerning the place which is occupied by Russia, its position, and its career, in the last days, and up to the very last day. The account says definitely that it shall be “in the latter days” (Ezekiel 38:8); the great feast of the fowls of heaven, of Revelation 19:17, 18, is mentioned in Ezekiel 39:17, 18; and the six plagues are referred to in Ezekiel 39:2, margin; and the seventh plague, in Ezekiel 38:22. See Revelation 16. Throughout Ezekiel 38 and 39 this power is spoken of as coming from the “north quarters.” And by looking at the map it is easy to see that russia does occupy the north quarters of the greater part of the whole eastern world. MON 27.5 There is another prophecy which comes in, in this connection, and which makes plain to all people the connection between this power—Russia—and all of those western powers of Europe that occupy the territory of Western Rome. There comes next a scripture that shows a blending of all these: not a blending in unison, but a blending in their interests, which causes continual jealousy and contention among them. It is the prophecy concerning!!!

smart man and hes actually answering the question

I like this Man for his directness . War against Ukraine is a serious warning for all nations. Erdogan is seeking some advantages for his yes...pita. Finland is a proud country , remember Winter War !

This guy could definitely give the American politicians a lesson in directness and straightforwardness

what a down to earth man!🌟

As a Swede, I agree with him; this is a time where our +200 years of neutrality must end. We don't feel threatened by Russia, but as a member of NATO, we can help taking a stand against terror.

Love to my Scandinavian ancestors! Russia will fail

Really admire people who are humble and grounded, even when they are in high positions......they are the best !!

I'm really surprised how people are amazed that President speaks briefly and honestly - don't politicians should be like him? It should be a norm : you ask precise question, they answer directly.

I love how he was honest and respectful to Russia. "Working with Russians, you need to keep in mind that what is said - doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware and follow up on what is happening"

More power to our very fine Nordic allies, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. We are with you too!

@Vi Lo yeah well, Go on over there and give 'em a pat on the back then, ok? Lol..

Just writing comments on youtube doesn't mean anything.

I don't understand why we can't have more politicans like him, logical, honest and reasonable . Instead we have to decide which politician we dislike least

Guys like him don’t run.

@Aly Payne Sorry, wrong planet.

it feelse so nice to have such respected president all over the world

I think this man deserves to be the next Secretary-General of the United Nations.

It's a good thing you don't get paid to think

"how afraid was Finland?..." "not afraid, rather xyz" "so you were concerned" "not really" "ok, so how afraid was Finland?" SMH

Yeah as a Finn looking at the sensationalist news anchors questions made me cringe so hard xDDD

100% afraid chicken dance😄

Last fight https://youtu.be/dpoFCCQYllw

He is our leader and a good one I might add. He truly is a survivor… ”Niinistö is a survivor of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. He escaped the ensuing tsunami by climbing a utility pole with his son in Khao Lak, Thailand.”

@K. L. Democracy would mean a Referendum for such a decision. There is no democracy if such fundamental decisions are decided by a bunch of nicely dressed politicians in the present government.

You don't know about democracy do you? FYI... No need to answer.

@K. L. You will see yourself the consequences. It's the worst decision in 50 years

@julia zdes if you are a finn, know our full history and have been living here all your life... then you may have have that opinion. But if you were a finn, you most likely wouldn't think like that.

Quite few president in the world have such a high level of knowledge, humanity and sincerity as Niinisto. Congratulations to Finland 🇫🇮

*MUTE ALL RUSSIAN ETC.ETC TROLLS WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS 👌 🇺🇲 ✌ *

@KRM somehow it seems like megalomaniac Putin are in desperate need of your prayers 👀 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇦SLAVA UKRAINI

God bless the Finns! For a reserved people, they actually have a clear and transparent government and their President is living proof of what a leader and representative of his country looks like. I hope and pray that NATO members vote Finland's membership. Salutations from Tennessee.

This man is so wise, I could listen to him speaking all day.

Hello

If Putin calls a mistake, it must be, as there’s no one better placed just now to define what a mistake is. 🇺🇦🇺🇦

The president of Poland knocked on the Kremlin's door asking "Putin to plz stop the war in Ukraine"! of course Russia said "No." However I have major respect for Poland's president for he at least tried to stop innocent people from dieing, this is a man of great principal and gut's too. stay well Mr. president, Sir

@Daniel baker If only there was a little box..... With buttons on it.... Where we could punch buttins, ask a question, THEN GET THE ANSWER! I KNOW THAT WOULD WORK!

@Daniel baker This REFUSES TO LET ME TELL YOU WHAT IT IS! Dont let that woman come to America! No longer Гree !

@cats and cars, RingTail Gang what is rule 230?

@Daniel baker dito

@cats and cars, RingTail Gang what? Who blocked my comment related to Finland's president? And what is rule 230?

Mr Niinisto seems to be an honest and down-to-earth leader. Respecting others and not yielding to pressure by any other nation. Finland will definitely be an asset to NATO.

Hello how are you doing nice meeting you

*MUTE ALL RUSSIAN ETC.ETC TROLLS WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS 👌 🇺🇲 ✌ *

keeping cool, calm and collected. If only all leaders had the integrity this man does

What a calm, reasonable man. He very carefully stood his ground and did not let her lead him into oversimplifying the situation.

Sorry but I can not see how Finland and Sweden can become members of NATO without first renouncing their support for Kurdish terrorist organizations

Yes, a president who answered questions--directly and thoughtfully. I'd never seen that till President Trump became president.

funny how she asked him twice so you were worry of being attacked 😂😂😂 and dude kept saying not necessarily like stop capping lmaoo

Putin also said that he wasnt going to attack Ukraine before Russia suddenly did.

@Official Replik509 You will definitely be at the front wavering the HAMMER&SICKLE.

It's interesting to see how nice CNN interviewer is to the interviewee while they both are white, and not the other way when the interviewee is Chinese or could not speak the same way as the CNN reporter could. I still remember how insulting it was when CNN interviewed our Chinese ambassador in the US. What a bloody constrast. Finland has a long history with Russia. They were already at war before the start of the world war 2 officially. And so when Hitler attacked, they joined (but they were not the Axis). I have respect to the Fins, a lot of respect given that they told Hitler they just wanted what supposed to be theirs and so once the line was reached, they stopped moving forward. A word from a true man. And consider how small the country is, everyone is trained as a soldier just like the Singaporean. Russia can not just walk on Finland easily. Probably the only country that can fight in the winter. I doubt Putin will do anything to Finland. The goal is still Ukraine, Putin is very clear. Putin is very calm. A man like him does not do rash thing. This has been carefully calculated and planned. At the moment, Russia is toying with Ukraine. If Putin's objective is like what Zelenskyy said, killing as many Ukrainian as possible, he will not need to send in troops, just throw in a couple of expired nuclear stock pile onto Kiev and case close. That would be a true extermination - but Putin has not done that. Why? Is he "really losing" the war? It's so naive to think Russia is losing the war. Yes, they are losing the war on the news media becoz I dont speak Russian, I can only read English based newspaper. I don't read Indian newspaper, and I cannot read arabic newspaper, so my view is also being steered by the western media. Hence that negative feeling on Russia all the time.... but what strikes me was, who is getting the benefit out of this war? Always go back to the question of motive. US may not have pulled the trigger, but they effective sold Zelenskyy out and Zelenskyy either is stuipid or selfish to sell his own people out. When you piss off your next door giant, this is what you get in reality. This is not a TV show or comedy he made. The collateral damage is his people, not himself. I feel really sorry for the Ukrainian people, being caught in the middle of a proxy war between United States and Russia. Soon many other countries will be dragged into this.... and the weapon manufacturers are the happy campers. I think the weapon manufaurers in US should dish out some of that profit to the poor and ask them to fix the bridges and medical system in the USA. That would be a fair share of social responsibility. I feel sorry for the poor people in the US who does not have access to decent medical care (while I could get that coz I have the money and I am Chinese and I could travel to US to get whatever treatment I want coz I sit on top of the food chain - so unfair, isn't it? Also a big insult to the ordinary people in the USA). Again, just an example of my point. Just that not many people can see thru the scheme behind all this. Many of us still believe the pure black and white and thought the world is just as simple as Captain America wants it to be.

They have a good leader in Finland.

Does she realise she's speaking to him like a prosecutor, it's peeing me off, Finland is a beautiful intelligent brilliant country, if the west stayed away from other countries, and ancient England had stayed away form most of these countries, 90% of this wouldn't be happening, as an embarrassed Australian westerner 🙁🕊🇺🇦🕊.

Hello how are you doing ?

Hello

are gentle but so strong. The perfect combination! Wish I was a Finn!

I like Finland's president. He doesn't bend over for the fascists. Solid guy

"So you were worried" "not necessarily" " so you were worried" "not necessaily"

are gentle but so strong. The perfect combination! Wish I was a Finn!

Usually the Scandinavians are always direct answering questions when asked unlike British, French ect.

interesting - is it a cultural norm to answer directly. Refreshing if it is, get tired of the waffling we get in USA along with the lies from all parties.

are gentle but so strong. The perfect combination! Wish I was a Finn!

I adore Finnish people. Cool, calm, logical and compassionate. They are quiet, but when they speak, you damn well better listen. Their president is no less than Mr. Spock himself lol. Live long and prosper Suomi friends!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mLFfAy0wzgw&t=0s It’s finally here

I wish there were more politicians like Zelenskyy and Niinisto.

That's a honourable man! Refreshing to hear honest answers in a logical, concise way.

When r we going to get good reporters that show respect to who they talk too

Even though that's a direct question, why on Earth would you ask the leader of a country if he's worried that just makes him look weak? Why not phrase it like was it a bit concerning or something like that instead of saying were you, worried and then repeating it come on journalists you can do better than this.

As a Finn, I think Sauli Niinistö represents us very well. He's level-headed, composed and rational, which are typical Finnish characteristics. He's able to face Putin and tell him how things are. His English is also quite decent for someone of his age.

*MUTE ALL RUSSIAN-CHINESE ETC.ETC TROLLS WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS 👌 🇺🇲 ✌ 😁 *

I think his English is excellent. What an impressive world leader.

As an American, I’m jealous.

@Bambina Forever Putin called him. National leaders are going to need to & want to know what another one is calling about, and take the call. They can't ignore it bc they don't like the person calling. They have to apply diplomacy or they could create an international incident, and even war, especially with someone like Putin. & They might call so as to use diplomacy & prevent action being taken or to find out what is going on with relations between countries. Finland was getting 20% of their energy from Russia & that is ending or just has ended, and that had to be discussed. & Maybe he wanted to tell him he didn't think the invasion was justified or that Finland would not put up with one either. Bc of the shared border, Putin might get ideas, & he's known to act on stupid, destructive ones. Leaders have to talk to fascist leaders sometimes. And then probably often need to hit the sauna and steam out the ew. 😂

The questions seemed a bit too, "Please say something, controversial, and boost our ratings." President Niinostö handled it wonderfully.

We could do with leader like this in the U.K… he has discernment and huge intelligence.

I wish we had such a leader as Finland does here in the US. He leads a small country that borders a superpower run by a warmongering maniac, yet his decision to join NATO remains unchanged. Meanwhile, the US has a feeble old man who speaks word salad and looks utterly confused whenever on television. His handlers lead the way and he just stands back, looking around, lost like any suffer of Alzheimer’s who wondered outside.

The questions seemed a bit too, "Please say something, controversial, and boost our ratings." President Niinostö handled it wonderfully.

The Finn's are sensible,cool and logical and so their President is truly a gentleman.Finns must be proud of President Ninisto 🙏🏼

@Innocentius Lacrim it's always dangerous tarring everybody with the same brush..

@mountainside Mannerheim handled Hitler likewise clever and distant. Cooperation against their common Russian enemy, but Finnish Jews were protected! Which Jews? We only have Finnish people in our country ... ✊🏻

@dutchdna just like multiculti obsession or drugs isn't part of their national DNA ... Truely clever people 👌

He's even better when he's speaking Finnish. He definitely has had that calming effect on me at this difficult time. The right man for the job at the right time.

Finns, very blunt in manner, no head games, I like that. They are a very smart pragmatic people.

Look! A president that can speak in comprehensible sentences! He even knows where he is!

I think he meant "not necessarily" as they were not worried, because they would kick their buts so hard that Russian soldiers would go home with such a shame that whole world will laugh at them. But that is a not goal of Finland. Their goal is prosperity of their own people and they do not need to just jump into war with some random foolish oligarch and spill blood.

I wish cnn would have more of an intellectual dialog. This is history in the making!

Finland is an independent & free country. They can decide to join or not. 🇫🇮

*MUTE ALL RUSSIAN ETC.ETC TROLLS WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS 👌 🇺🇲 ✌ 😁 *

These are difficult times but this wonderful music by J.S. Bach will give you new spirits: https://youtu.be/W7pD4-LQb8A

@Moon Pie Russia is being the aggressor here, and Europe is defending their neighbor, not only that but Europe feels they are next

What blows me away is that I assumed that Finland and especially Sweden were already NATO members.

If she asks him one more time about how concerned they were about invasion i am going to smash my monitor

Somehow the questions she asked felt like they were designed in a way to manipulate his answers into raising tensions. I may be reading too much into it, but it did feel ... Odd. Hopefully you will get to join.

Really wish this guy would talk in Finnish and have someone translate what he's saying in real time.

I like this guy. Honest, yet diplomatic. Concerned for the safety of his people and the Norse lands.

@m Other way around, we're Nordic but not Scandinavian. And definitively not Norse.

*MUTE ALL RUSSIAN ETC.ETC TROLLS WHENEVER THEY POP-UP ON YOUR NOTIFICATIONS 👌 🇺🇲 ✌ 😁 *

@m - Disrespectful: wouldn't go that far - Scandinavia: no - Nordic country: yes

@Joe Rosen COULD BE!

@Joe Rosen COULD BE! :)

are gentle but so strong. The perfect combination! Wish I was a Finn!

We love you Finland. ❤️🇺🇸 🇺🇳 🇫🇮 ❤️

She really should try to let him speak about the Finnish situation and not interrupt him when he's trying to explain it.

when are rest of the world gonna realise that we swedes and finns aint afraid of anything, we might be quiet and polite, but we aint afraid of anything. Dont take a quiet and calm collected personality as being shy or afraid.
