Finland's NATO Membership Strengthens Defense Against Russia.
TL;DR Summary
Finland has been authorized to join NATO, which has significant political and military implications that will benefit the US. Finland has been an independent country only since 1917 and was previously controlled by the Russian Empire. Russia's recent military encroachments on neighboring countries revealed to Finns that Moscow still has imperial ambitions. Finland moved swiftly through 2022 to apply for NATO membership and has finally made it in after much Turkish foot-dragging.
