Finland sending arms to help Ukraine was an astonishing and revealing act about the changing policy.

Also the Swedes are thinking about joining.

Tell me about Putin shooting himself on the foot twice!

I wouldn't be surprised considering the developments. When this thread was made there was just a threat of Russian aggression, now Russia has actually invaded Ukraine. It's understandable that their other neighbors are getting uneasy.
I think it's final, I read that they retracted their decision to join NATO, due to fears of similar countermeasures from their Russian neighbors. To be honest, it's probably for the best, NATO aren't saints either, while their entry could potentially spark a large scale war. which would result in a third World War.
