  1. Submission Statement:

    Finland has taken a bold stance against Russian sabotage operations, exemplified by its recent interception of a Russian oil tanker, the Eagle S, which had damaged the Estlink 2 power cable between Finland and Estonia. The Finnish Border Guard’s swift and decisive action, backed by the government’s permission to seize the vessel in international waters, marks a significant shift in the country’s approach to countering Russian aggression. Edward Lucas explains that this incident highlights Finland’s growing role as a leading force in Western decision-making and its commitment to defending against unconventional warfare.

    Finland is setting an admirable example but the term ‘Finlandisation’ means something diametrically opposite. It will take another few decades before that word’s meaning will fade away.

    Bottom lines:

    A) countries need to follow Finland’s example

    B) using the term *Finlandisation* will unnecessarily lead to misunderstandings so is best avoided, notwithstanding the article’s argument.
