Surprised people are being so nonchalant about Finland joining NATO. Just an observation that if China made a geopolitical move that was so egregious that it forced non-aligned, to even borderline friendly countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, to rush to the US, Japan, and Aus for security guarantees, (I don't count Philippines since Duterte was the exception rather than the rule) there would be no talk about how its these country's losses that they've antagonized China and are now in its crosshairs. There'd instead be numerous threads dedicated to how much the CPC sucks at PR and diplomacy, and that its time for new blood to run China's foreign policy.
Finland joining NATO from a geopolitical perspective is a loss for Russia and a logical security move for the Finns. You may disagree, but its just interesting so many on here are willing to spin Finland ascension to the alliance as an "elaborate Russian trap" to ruin the country and bolster its own geopolitical standing in the Baltics, when China would never get the luxury of bullish assessments.
