Finish Prime Minister Sanna Marin on Thursday said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will change the debate around NATO membership within her country.
"Finland is not currently facing an immediate military threat, but it is also now clear that the debate on NATO membership in Finland will change," Marin said,
YLE News reported.
Finland has been debating for months whether the country should apply for NATO membership, with Marin saying it would require broad support for the country to move forward with an application.
There are two types of membership for any club: explicit and implicit. Or overt and covert, if you want another explanation.
Explicit and overt are self explanatory. The membership is open for everyone to see. But implicit and covert are different and actually more serious. Implicit is theoretical or virtual. The ideals of the club are attractive and may actually be common to aspirants. Covert is where even though membership is not official, there are cooperation between active club members and the aspirants.
Спасибо, Vladimir Putin, for securing future NATO members of both types.
