NATO expansion with Finland's inclusion raises concerns.
TL;DR Summary
Finland has officially become a member of NATO, bringing with it hundreds of tanks, 62 fighter jets, and a strong military. The decision to join NATO was partly motivated by Russian actions, including the invasion of Ukraine. Finland's military arsenal includes around 650 tanks, 107 combat-capable jets, and around 1,500 artillery weapons. The country also has a wartime fighting reserve force of 280,000 soldiers and almost 900,000 people that can be mobilized. Finland's decision to join NATO is seen as a nightmare for Russia, which considers the alliance a key threat.
