You are entitled to your opinion, even though it’s based upon zero facts. As for me, I would prefer to live in the real world. Prior to Russia’s hostility towards Ukraine, and certain sentiments expressed regarding the conquering of Finland, only about 20% of the Finnish population wanted to join NATO. After the Ukrainian invasion 78% did.

This is what happens in democracies. Their legislature legally and properly voted to join NATO. There was no compulsion. It is a voluntary alliance of those who want to get together for their collective defense. But for Russia’s illogical, imperialistic aggressiveness, Finland would’ve remained neutral. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it. If you stopped reading so much propaganda, you might be able to understand this. Finland is not a pawn. No one is using them. They are an independent country which makes reasonable decisions to protect their own interests.

There would be absolutely no need for NATO if Russia were a peaceful country willing to coexist with its neighbors. It is their historical and continuing belligerence that created the need.
