- augustuspolius 5y agoDo you mean the risk is that Russia will invade Finland and NATO will have to get involved? This is short term thinking. What if Finland does not join NATO and Russia invades? What if Russia succeeds? In the next decade it will invade Sweden that’s also not in NATO. At the end of this process, Russia will still border NATO in the North. Only this time Russia will be a much bigger and a more powerful state. What’s the upside for NATO in that?
- polski-g 5y agoThat is a good point. USA should quit NATO entirely unless we start getting paid in direct cash payments.
