True about the perception of "peers", for better or worse.

What incentive does Finland have to not join NATO if Putin has just demonstrated that membership is irrelevant and proven that NATO only has your back forrealzies if you're a member state?

Neither does Finland's long history of Russian incursions do Putin any favors.

I think Putin's off the deep end. This could end very, very poorly. I think the Finland/Sweden threats are probably hollow, but the uncertainty is killing me.
