nato is nothing more but a political agreement between member countries to support each other in case any member state is attacked. most members have very capable defense forces of their own. finland for example was able to defend itself (on paper) against russia even before the nato membership. the finnish army with their massive artillery could reach and destroy saint petersburg if russia attacked finland with ballistic missiles. the nato membership however made sure we now have support from countries who have ballistic missiles, nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers and space weapons. it adds to the already powerful deterrent.   woya9zo8   y-jnmg-g
