Finland's NATO Membership Increases Tension with Russia.
TL;DR Summary
Finland is set to become the 31st member of NATO, doubling the alliance's land border with Russia and bolstering its presence around the Baltic Sea and in the Arctic. The move is a dramatic rebuke to Russia and a sign of how President Vladimir Putin's gamble in Ukraine is upending the post-Cold War order. However, Sweden's membership bid is still pending due to Turkey's opposition, citing Stockholm's refusal to extradite those he calls "terrorists" affiliated with the militant Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
