Stereotypical Prep. If and if Nato has to prempt. Or respond. Finland will obviously become a front line flank. It's simply checking those boxes. Obviously Finland on joining Nato is obviously beefing up by increasing its parameters. It now has access to increasing arsenals. Membership perks. Perhaps also to join in any other global operations. The fact is it has opened up a larger front directly along the border. It will obviously defend and arm in accordance to its status.

But gearing for war, defensive, and causing war are two very different notions.
