I'm not an expert on Finnish politics, so it is difficult for me to put a percentage on it.

However I know that response of Europe to the Gates Declaration has been to increase the American burden for what are fundamentally Euro defense problems.

That's non sustainable for the US, but the Euros have even fewer options, budgetarily and demographically than us, so here we are.

Now, the Swedes and Finns will be as close to turn key accession on the practical integration as imaginable, unlike the majority of new NATO accessions, even 25 years into the process.

Take a look at what each NATO country spends and where they are located.

The mooches (with the exception of Turkey) are far from Russia:

Luxembourg (0.58%), Belgium (1.18%), Spain (1.01%), Canada (1.27%), Germany (1.44%)

Now look (with the exception of Turkey) at what the countries close to Russia spend on defense:

Poland (2.42%), Lithuania (2.36%), Latvia (2.10%), Estonia (2.34%), and now Finland (2.25%)

Russia has a long and ugly history of trying to eat their neighbors, so their neighbors are steadily learning that spending on their militaries and having friends is a good thing.

I have vivid memories of a Valmet M62 in a local gun shop around 1981 and 82. It sat on the shelf for years - butterfly metal buttstock, swiss cheese hole handguard, bicycle grip type pistol grip, etc. I came close to buying it at $800 (BIG money then) but the only ammo for it was from Lapua at $1/round. That killed it for me. Even after the Maadi AK came in around 1982, there still was no cheap supply until Chinese AKs flooded in with ammo in the mid-1980s.

While the Rks will be stored and then most likely melted, surplus JVA 0316 might actually happen (in maybe 10 years from now). It is rather nice ammo, most lots are sub-MOA in good condition Sako barrels, way tighter than acceptance criteria.

There is a recurring April Fools news story circulating among Finnish reservists of the FDF issuing surplus ammo to reservist personal use at all local garrisons on April 1st. Every year someone goes just on the off chance that some new guy is guarding the ammo depot and won't know it's a joke.

These are the practical realities that military personnel need to address. Its great that the Balts do their 2%, and they provide value added in a number of ways, but the reality is that 10 tiny nations providing 2% doesn't buy much, other than increasing the ease of US forces to enter the battlespace.

Additionally, the 2% of these countries is pretty much territorial defense in the best case, and provides little in the way of advanced mechanized or out of area capability. Even then, there significant mobility challenges in these areas.

The Balts and Poland would likely be spending 2%+ on their defense in any event. That 2% just buys them mammoth American firepower, bodies and money.

Its not joke anymore. Law changed and now military ammo and full auto guns can be used in reserve shooting events.

National defence training orgs had hard time getting ammo due to covid and war, so law was changed and we are dipping into military cookie jar and will shoot out all the 7,62x39 ammo and wear out all the old RK barrels to speed up migration to ARs.

Personally, I think he guessed that the West wouldn't intervene on what Putin perceives is outside the West's core interest area, and that Russia had to redeem a gradually failing position of influence within Ukraine proper (i.e. economic issues in occupied Eastern provinces, water shortages in Crimea, fewer Russian controlled politicians and business figures within the country) and he was facing no better opponent than Biden.

Actually, he's right - for the wrong reasons. Putin doesn't want to take over Ukraine, he wants to eliminate all Ukrainians and make it Russia. If it's Russia, it isn't Ukraine.

I'm inclined to agree.

He probably thought that the Ukraine invasion would shake out like Georgia invasion did.

Agreed.

It's kind of weird.  Wonder what changed - is he feeling his mortality, trying to rush his glorious legacy?

Xi Jingping is 1 year younger and he seems headed down an uncharacteristically rushed behavior for the Chinese.

It's no joke if I actually can walk in an ammo depot and get issued ammo to shoot in my personal weapon. Or to check out the rifle and the ammo to go on the range on my own time (like with Kaitseliit).

We have still a lot to do to reach the level of support for active reservists that Estonia has. Perhaps that will happen, but I won't be holding my breath. IMHO it is more important that in a SHTF situation FDF standard full scale issue ammo would be 5.56 and compatible with more personal weapons. Thus far it is issued only to SOF of various kinds (and Border Guards).
