It's a direction the current cabinet might be inching towards. Manufactured consent
On a larger level this won't stop whatever the next step of escalation will be and I'm not guaranteed Finland has enough planned with the EU to figure this shit out fast.
Not sure where it is escalating after the border is closed.
We'll see some sort of "bullying" as Niinistö phrased
And we'll deal with that bullying too when we come to it. Giving into it isn't a great option.
Maybe we need someone else dealing with that in the future.
I'd hope everyone else would be as determined to shut the bullying down. It's not like there's many other ways to deal with Russia.
Maybe we just saw the most Russia-minded response we have available
Nothing more Russia-minded than wanting to shut down Russia's attempts at bullying us.
