  • He actually answers the questions he's being asked. Quite refreshing for a politician.
  • @maxlb3419
    Gotta love how he speaks. No exaggerating, dramatising. Simple and reasonable. Seems like a good man. Wishing Finland all the best and be safe!
  • wow what a president, calm and intellegent person, Finland definitely choosen a very good leader, God Bless Finland
  • 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!
  • Finland is an independent & free country. They can decide to join or not. 🇫🇮
  • @user-sr4oq4us4c
    America needs politicians like him. Straight to the point.. Can not fault the honesty of this man .
  • Thank you to the President of Finland for taking the time to address the American people.
  • 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.
  • @xzlemin9569
    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.
  • @maygreen8758
    I have no regret voting for him.. Greetings from Helsinki/ Finland 🇫🇮
  • I love the way he didn't allow her repetitious pressure to admit fear of attack have any affect on his responses. Good man. Bad newslady.
  • @Psychx_
    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.
  • The Finn's are sensible,cool and logical and so their President is truly a gentleman.Finns must be proud of President Ninisto 🙏🏼
  • @passenger3
    I love this guy. Fins are truly blessed to have such a president 🙏 He's an absolute gentleman but on the other hand "a sterne and solid leader " who doesn't take any shit from Russia lol He knows his people and represents them collectively "very well"
  • @chevyvet69
    Nothing but respect to you Finland and your president I can't say as much for our president greetings from the USA
  • @JH-ck1nr
    Refreshingly honest, calm and balanced. Pity there are not more leaders like him in politics.
  • @reich44
    He said Finland was fine to be neutral until Putin decided to threaten and take the choice from them. Why is the reporter trying to say they were afraid when they are actually standing directly against the bully? I applaud Finland.
  • Sauli Niinistö. What a refreshing, mature, stable and wise leader. Unlike some of the theatrical idiots we've had in the west recently.
  • So nice to hear from sivilized people a around the world! im proud to be Finnish, lived there 31 years im allso citizen of USA lived here 31 years! i miss sraight talking Finns.
