Do they need a reminder of what happened last time they challenged Finland? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Also, Finland is part of NATO now. So it's not just the Finns, but most of the rest of Europe.

and the EU, which is also a military alliance.

Presumably they intend to staff the facilities with Ukrainian conscripts after they capture Ukraine or something.

Poor Russia has to now deal with 1k km front with NATO...

But at least Ukraine is under control

The intention is clear. We saw this before they invaded other places and we need to stop it now. Otherwise it will happen again, but this time NATO will retaliate. With or without USA.
