Helsinki has joined the nuclear-mania.
The world is getting more dangerous by the day, and especially in Europe, where a race for rearmament is in full display. More and more countries are starting to think about nuclear weapons in a way that would seem impossible just a few years ago.
From France vowing to increase its presently limited number of nuclear warheads and extend its protection to other EU nations, to Poland floating the idea of developing its own nuclear arsenal, Europeans have ‘learned to stop worrying and love the bomb’, to paraphrase Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Dr. Strangelove’.

Right now, the Finnish government is working on a plan to repeal its legal ban on hosting nuclear weapons, which has been in place since 1987. The change isn’t immediate; the… pic.twitter.com/WffWrgSkeo

“Finland became a NATO member following Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The country shares more than 1,000 kilometers of border with Russia, and has been accelerating and revamping its defense plans.”
