| #7 /\ And also, the recent Ukraine invasion has done a lot to subvert the notion of a strong, victorious Russia. Yes indeed. Shoots the hell out of "they'll be rolling through the Fulda Gap and having Tartare and sipping Remy Martin at Fouquet's by 18hrs30 the following day." |

| #6 From NATO's perspective, are we really willing to commit to sending our young men to die for Helsinki or Malmo? Really? And also, the recent Ukraine invasion has done a lot to subvert the notion of a strong, victorious Russia. |

| #2 This would be very expensive for Finland. Quite hazardous for them in this day and age.Knee jerk reactions will not provide the security they dream of. |

| #1 Sweden's military is a joke. If I were NATO without a substantial increase in spending, I would say no. |
