and finland.learly the situation in begun aneurope has incredibly active debate within finland. i would say the conversation is more robust and finland today than it is in sweden, perhaps anduse of swedish elections that needing to resolve itself. it is for every country to decide. that is why nato, the open-door policy -- it is open. say that some have commented it is awfully difficult to get home insurance when the neighborhood is on fire. is this the right time to start focusing in on now? that are some in finland argue this probably should have been thought through prior to the current crisis. is an active dialogue between the finnish defense officials and nato officials, also bilaterally between the u.s. and finland. there is a stark difference between a nato member and a non-nato member on defense, full stop. ourwe do highly value partnership with sweden and finland. as you look at this regionally, there is a vulnerability of non-nato members. ironically, 10 years ago when the baltic states

now if we could survive as neutral states together with switzerland austria finland and sweden at the time without own defenses and not being part of the nato i wonder why on earth we at all need nato today when the warsaw pact has disappeared but secondly i also wonder how could we survive at that time when tension was much bigger when there were much more nuclear weapons in europe etc so i mean this is bad intellectual thinking but i tell you the ministers of foreign affairs and defense and prime ministers at least here are spending more money on spin doctors and marketing their on intellectual views than they do on listening to. some people happen to know something about these things it's part of a propaganda war yeah i agree with you on the propaganda side of it but i think this approach is actually paying off because if sweden or finland were indeed to join nato that would provoke some sort of reaction on the part of russia at least in far as far as military calculus is concerned so there would be certain changes and then military posturing for example more troops on the border y

seeing a possibility of joining nato and of course for both finland and sweden these no one alignment approach was a very cost effective way off ensuring their security during the cold war does it mean the fact that they are talking publicly talking about joining nato doesn't mean that they see more today russia as a bigger threat than the soviet union oh yeah well that that's a perverse that you have today that that people arguing we need to join nato today when we don't have a cold war and we don't have a soviet union we don't have a warsaw pact whereas they could survive as neutral states when these things existed this is bizarre to me i mean this is pure propaganda the real russian military expenditures a seven seven percent of nato. now if we could survive as neutral states together with switzerland austria finland and sweden at the time without own defenses and not being part of the nato i wonder why on earth we at all need nato today when the warsaw pact as does a bit but secondly i also wonder how could we survive at that time when tension was much bigger when there were much
