Title: Russia's hard move Finland: The diplomatic chess game is in turmoil again
Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin took a tough stance in the face of provocations from NATO member Finland, sending a clear signal of deterrence to NATO member Finland by creating it. The Finnish side felt a strong shock and had to re-examine the situation. The Finnish Minister of Defense openly stated that in the past Russia overestimated Russia's military strength, and now a new Cold War situation has begun to emerge.
Finland, which was once confident in NATO membership and frequently provoked Russia, quickly adjusted its attitude under Putin's decision. The creation of the Leningrad Military District gave Russia a dominant position in regional diplomacy, forcing Finland to recognize the cost of challenging Russia.
Finland's nervousness and cowardice show that NATO countries have no choice but to adjust their tactics in the face of Putin's tough diplomacy. Russia's move to create a separate Leningrad Military District, which was made clear in response to Finland, not only won Russia the diplomatic initiative, but also put pressure on other NATO members.
The shift in countries such as Finland is a response to Russia's diplomatic tactics and a reflection of the reality of the primacy of power in international affairs. Putin's direct and resolute diplomacy has repeatedly worked in the face of a complex international landscape. The Cold War storm has reminded countries such as Finland that challenging Russia requires a more cautious approach.
For Russia, its diplomatic strategy may be simple, but the determination and demonstration of power behind it have allowed it to remain strong in international affairs. Finland's experience may be just the tip of the iceberg, and more NATO countries may gradually recognize the reality and change their attitudes in the face of diplomatic pressure from Russia in the future. Through this diplomatic game, Putin once again demonstrated Russia's diplomatic prestige.
