@MartinRandall can resolve no

Still waiting on Sweden

Looking closer now

This can resolve NO as Finland joined NATO

@firstuserhere the "or" in market question makes me think this.

Do you mean it for both Sweden and Finland?

predicted NO

@firstuserhere check the market description, it doesn't resolve no until both join NATO, which definitely makes sense to me

@jack gotcha

Russia invading Finland
Well this is scarily high
@MartinRandall Most likely target if this does happen would be the Aland islands; in a strategic position, but demilitarized (and hence defenceless) due to a treaty Finland signed with the Soviet Union. It'd be a serious provocation, but very much the same kind of operation Russia pulled with Crimea; pick out a small elite force, get in quickly, dig in, and challenge the world to do something about it. Finland would have trouble responding to such an attack on their own, and being in the middle of a territorial dispute would complicate their NATO accession, so it's a not-insane strategy. Given recent Russian maneuvers in the Baltic, it's quite possible they're considering this.
@EndoviorE thanks for the information! I can see how that would happen.
