I’m your neighbour. The damage is done to the system of laws and conventions small non-aligned countries like Finland wished would protect us before and after our combined Nato accession. The very reason we are and continue to be pro-Ukraine is for empathy as well as pragmatism: the rule-breaker has to be shown the line that can’t be crossed, so that ours won’t be either. You’re more than welcome to disagree with me, but it is quite objectively been a balancing act that we hoped to not have to take between our most militarily and economically powerful ally and values (our own and international). The times of finlandization were supposed to be behind us, but a united front (militarily and politically) has shown cracks due to the unilateral decisions and threats the US has made these past couple of years. Hypocritical application of international law waters it down even further, and the results are already visible.
