    Isn’t Finland in NATO now? Putin isn’t dumb enough to actually start shit with NATO. It’s exactly why he started shit with Ukraine that isn’t in NATO yet.

      They are, and they also have a defense pact with the US. Direct confrontation would be stupid as that could trigger NATO Article 5, so Putin will likely try to stir shit on a non-military level (social, political, imports, etc).
