Great piece by @PesuMatti, et al. I would argue,
though, it does much more: it shifts the entire geopolitical center of gravity of European security, almost as much as 1989-91.
RT @PesuMatti: Finland joins NATO today. What will change? I’ll list 4 key transformations in this small thread.
1. Finland becomes a genuine collective defence actor. It must learn to view its efforts and objectives in terms of the Alliance’s collective needs as well.

Tallinn on täna 4x suurem kui ta oli kui praegused liinid ehitati 90 aastat tagasi. Ainus uus liin on praegu ehitamisel soome turiste teenindav jupp.
Mida Tallinn vajab on trammiliinid nagu teistes samasuurusega linnades -- korralikud liinid Nõmme, Tabasalu ja Lasnamäe otstesse
