May 13, 2022

Finland's announcement that it is actively considering joining NATO seems to have overturned Finland's "neutrality" national policy for more than 80 years. It is also considered to be a more iconic and influential European change than Germany's "defense turn". The outside world has always believed that Finland operates the "Finnish model" and can only submit to Russia, but this idea is actually very wrong. Finland has always endured humiliation and tried hard to improve its national defense capabilities to the top level. How strong is Finland's military capability? For decades, what has Finland prepared for this? How will joining NATO change the European security landscape? Scholar and you in-depth analysis.

Finnish President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin jointly expressed their determination to join NATO.

In a statement on Thursday, the two stressed that Finland must take immediate and swift steps to initiate an application to join NATO, a decision that will change Finland's decades-long policy of not forging security alliances with other countries and will also exacerbate NATO and Russia. the contradiction.

Immediately after the announcement, the Kremlin accused Finland of turning its territory into a "front of military confrontation" with Russia, saying it would force Russia to take "retaliatory measures of a military-technical and other nature". However, what exactly is "military technology", the Russian side has not clearly stated.

According to the scholar's earlier analysis, the Russian army is likely to deploy the Iskander missile to the enclave of Kaliningrad to target the capitals of NATO countries.

The Finnish people seem to be quite supportive of the decision. Recent polls again show that more Finns support joining NATO, up from 68% earlier to 76% (according to a poll by broadcaster Yle), and the Wall Street Journal said that the weighted support may be 82%. This means that the domestic controversy over joining NATO has almost disappeared, and Congress is likely to pass the decision quickly.

Finnish and NATO officials say the sooner the process of joining, the better, because the longer it drags on, the more likely it will incur the wrath of Russia.

The scholar has analyzed in depth that the outside world has always misunderstood the "Finnish model". For nearly 80 years, Finland has endured humiliation and made five adequate preparations for the Russian threat. Among them, wisdom is also worth learning from Hong Kong people.
