Finland is in no threat whatsoever, until US decides to station nukes there at least, and even then probably will lead to nothing.
Finland has one of the most capable militaries while defending in Europe, historically already fertilized enough russians for russians to think 1,000 times before ever launching invasion there again.
No sizeable ethnic russian zombie population there, willing to collaborate with russians, even less so than during winter war where they actually had Finnish communist wanna-be junta on their side.
Dude, you completely missed the point. It's not about Finland's military capability but how a PM of a country behaves in face if a possible war with its neighbour. I think I need to answer both your and thesnipa post together.

how exactly can russia blackmail a leader who just had mildly embarrassing secrets exposed?
If anyone, even though they aren't politicians or authorized can go into the presidential building and do as they please then the person who allows it is a national security/integrity problem. Example, you could wiretap all of the building and listen to whatever Finland or Nato's plans are, get secret documents about how the state is run etc. Most intelligence services of aggressor counrties like US, England, Russia etc. do that before they attack a country (Iraq, Syria, Ukraine now). How can a Nato representant go there and be sure nothing confidential leaks out?
Then about blackmailing, you could put anything into her drink then photograph her in compromising positions to blackmail later.
Lastly, there are ultraconservative countries you have to deal with like Saudis etc. Do you think they'll take her seriously? If she likes to be open unprotected then she can work as a waitress in a discothek but not as a PM of a country.
She is a joke and should resign in my eyes, no questions about it.
And lastly, for our woke leftist, I'd ask the same regardless of her gender.
But again, let the Fins decide their fate. She's "their" leader. I was more interested in how WEF protects its "assets" with all they have.
