“Wise Ukrainian leaders,” wrote former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, “should pursue a posture comparable to that of Finland.”
But a funny thing happened on the way to Ukraine becoming Finlandized. Finland became Ukrainized.
After decades of opposition to NATO membership, Finland has reversed course with a speed rare in international affairs. So has its neighbor Sweden, which had an even older policy of neutrality. Jolted by Russia’s brutal assault on Ukraine and recognizing how dangerous it has become for any European country to remain outside NATO’s perimeter, both Nordic countries are now eager to join the world’s most powerful military alliance.
With Finland in the alliance, NATO’s border with Russia will double. The Baltic Sea will be almost encircled by NATO powers. Kaliningrad — the Russian exclave on the Baltic that bristles with ballistic missiles — will now be entirely surrounded by NATO. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania — the three independent states that the Soviet Union occupied by force in 1940 and ruled for the next 50 years — will have two powerful new allies at their front door. In every significant respect, NATO’s prospects have improved.

That doesn’t look like a reassuring argument that it’s strengthening NATO considering that NATO have been planning this for a long time, if anything it will just make the situation worse. NATO has a history of causing war than they do preventing it. How exactly are they in the right when they are part of the WEF? NATO is making the world less safe than it is helping it.

“Ukraine is just a pawn to help move the world where the WEF wants it to go.”
That certainly appears to be the case.
