Great...another country we will be expected to protect!

"Finland’s leaders said it intended to apply for NATO membership “without delay” — prompting Russia to threaten that it would “be forced to take retaliatory steps” if the Nordic country joins the Western military alliance.
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin and President Sauli Niinistö released a joint statement on Thursday announcing their support for Finland — which shares an 810-mile border with Russia — to join the alliance.
The Kremlin responded to the announcement by saying that Finland’s membership is “definitely” a threat to Russia. “As we have said many times before, NATO expansion does not make the world more stable and secure,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “[Russia’s reaction] will depend on what this expansion process will entail, how far and how close to our borders the military infrastructure will move.”
