Natoless in Finland:
Just to keep things interesting, Russian planes keep flying into Finnish airspace

“The upside to NATO membership — security against Russian threats — might seem obvious. But opponents within Finland counter that joining an anti-Russian military alliance would anger Moscow without fundamentally altering the balance of power. Finland has proven in the past that it can deter formal invasion.”
I think the opponents may be right. My guess is that Putin tries to prevent Finland from joining Nato with those planes and, of course, it also works to threaten the West a bit more.
