In the last few days, the international media is talking of the interest of Finland to apply to be a member of NATO.
Finland is a neighbor of Russia and it had in the past a serious war with this countries. It is a member of the EU, but till now it is a neutral country in the relationships between the West and the East of Europe.
Today, the Wall Street Journal posted an Editorial Column titled: " Finland’s Big NATO Step" with the following introduction: "Helsinki wants in, and accepting it would make the alliance stronger."
My opinions posted in the blog section of WSJ Online
NATO only must accept very selective members, not everyone who wants to be part of the club. The membership conditions have to be strict.
Russia provoked others. Now, it will see the consequences. The European countries don't want Russian boots in their territories. The narrative of Mr. Putin doesn't plug with independent democratic nations.
