    Oh but oil prices are the single most important factor to US policy, so any country that can influence them is a threat obviously? Just as much as possible Ukrainian NATO border is, but Finish NATO border is not, you know, it’s all logical!

      You realize Finland is farther North than Ukraine? With hilly terrain? Very forested? There’s not a lot of actual crossing points in that border, in an invasion it would require building lots of infrastructure that just doesn’t exist. Moving troops and tanks across the border would be slow and difficult. I think Russia would change its tune on Finland if they suddenly started building lots of infrastructure to enable border crossing, but for now it’s not really a threat.
