On 1 March 2024, Finland’s newly elected President, Alexander Stubb, who is a CIA asset, took office and delivered his first speech as President, and said to journalists “I would start from the premise that we in Finland must have a real nuclear deterrent, and that’s what we have, because NATO practically gives us three deterrences through our membership. … The first is military, i.e. soldiers, the second is missiles, i.e. ammunition, and the third is a nuclear deterrent, which comes from the United States.” He gave as his reasons for Finland’s need of that, “Human life does not seem to have any kind of significance to the current Russian leadership,” and “We are now facing a new era. As a result of our military alignment and NATO membership, we have taken the final step into the Western community of values, where our republic has spiritually belonged throughout its independence,” and so he was implicitly condemning the prior leaders of Finland, who had advocated for Finland’s geostrategic neutrality in international relations.
