I love the brotherhood of these two nations, but Sweden would be much safer if Finland went ahead and joined.

It doesnt matter since both have security guarantees from uk and usa... We can easily wait. And russia is in no power to attack another country anyway lol

With an open front in Ukraine, they could never afford an other one with finland, even alone. The terrain is on Finland side, and the whole logistic to bring an army to Finland doorstep could be disrupted very easily.

It's not just brotherhood it's a political move.

There's no guarantee that Erdogan won't just make up a new obstacle Finland has to overcome if they tried that. Finland as a nation would rather not be swept up in the political election games for some wannabe dictator and be forced to make unnecessary sacrifices. Best to cut the political bullcrap and just wait until after Turkey has had their elections

Finland is in the EU and more importantly uses the Euro, if they were attacked every country using the euro has to either join the war to save their economy or change their currency and basically destroy a big part of the EU from within. And if the EU is at war NATO will be in some way too.
