The Finnish newspaper “Helsingin Sanomat”‘s cover art from last spring, when Finland and Sweden applied for NATO and from today, when Finland has all the required ratifications while Sweden doesn’t

  1. The first picture has the title “Samaa tahtia”, which means “at the same pace”, while the latter has “Viimeistä vetoa vailla”, which roughly means “Just the final stroke”.

  2. It is a bit weird that we (Finland) said that we would only join together with Sweden, and now we’re just going back on that completely. It makes sense of course, but I don’t think we should have said it in that case.

  3. It’s sad that Sweden’s accession to NATO is being dragged by Erdotard and Orbansuck. But Finland being part of NATO is beneficial for Sweden.

  4. Sweden got our back in WWII with ammunition, weapons, and volunteers. Sweden is not in danger from Russia, as long as we are in NATO and they have a security guarantee from the UK and other Nordic countries in place.

  5. Great that Finland now is in, even for Sweden. It makes Sweden almost as NATO protected as Austria. What should Muscovy do? Put every soldier in Königsberg on the remnants of their Baltic fleet and try an amphibious landing on Gotland? Not even they are delusional enough for that.
    Finland getting in also makes it more likely that Sweden will get in soon. The Hungarian and Turkish game doesn’t really work if Sweden no longer feels such hurry to get in.
