Article 5 of the alliance’s charter affirms that an attack on one member nation will be considered an attack on all members.
Not until 9/11 will this provision be invoked.
What time today are they raising the Finnish flag?
Good day for Finland to officially join NATO.
NATO stay strong 💪
NATO is already 74 years old? Happy birthday old man! May you live for a hundred more (or at least until the authoritarian shitholes are defeated).
One of the best decisions ever. Such collective security arrangements are necessary in the world rife with unstable dictators, extremists, and warmongers.
Historic date.Good luck ,NATO. And my congratulations to Finland.
A wise move for bleak times.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
