The thing is that Russia Ukraine is history repeating itself.
Finland was invaded by the Soviet Union (pretty much Russia so I’ll refer them as Russians) in 1939 resulting in the Winter War . This started Nov 1939 and ended in March 1940.
The Finnish put up one hell of a fight that caught out the Russians despite their superior numbers and military strength. It was the intention of the Russians to take over the whole of Finland but they suffered large losses.
The outcome resulted in Finland conceding land bordering Russia and signed the Moscow Peace Treaty. .
This is why Finland was reluctant to join Nato until now. Finland now in Nato is a big thing when you look at the past.
Consequently, Finland has a military that is finely honed to take on a Russian invasion.
