Just as President Obama heads to Strasbourg where he attends NATO´s 60th anniversary Summit. Finland’s charismatic Foreign Minister Stubb Is directing Finlandinto a open NATO debate.
At a recent event arranged by Atlantic Council of Finland .What about it ?
Well taking a look at the map it doesn’t take many seconds To see the fact that Finland holds a exceptionally long border with Russia. Its so long that Finland has had to mine it the entire border due to Finland’s limited border patrol manpower ,that said with a population of estimated 5,244,749 inhabitantsthe choices are not optional.
What many Americans don’t know is that Finland was nevera former eastern bloc nation and held its independence all trough out the cold war most likely only due to Finland’s neutrality.
A fact has kept any NATO dialog moving away like tumbleweedOn a windy day……
Finland has as well a long history of peacekeeping and peaceSettlement. A fresh example is this years Nobel price to former President Martti Ahtisaari.
The NATO statements of Mr. Stubb were spoken at a NATO related Org Atlantic Council of Finland, and looking at the calendarit’s more than just great timing....
Maybe Finland has taken a renewed look at treaty’s and commitmentsMade over half a century ago by people of who most are dead .At last a and not least the words of Finland’s Foreign MinisterAlexander Stubb: NATO is not an occult science!
