Finland already lost part of its eastern part to Russia. I hope it joins NATO now. Wish we had made Ukraine a provisional member of NATO and told Putin it will become final unless you do not invade. It is too late now to do that but maybe the Ukrainians can stop Russia from taking all of its country and that part can join NATO. Putin seems to believe he can be a communist * and an imperialist at the same time. Will be interesting to see what China does.
*Don't think he is a communist - just another dictator who let power to to his head.
