Do they need a reminder of what happened last time they challenged Finland? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War

Also, Finland is part of NATO now. So it's not just the Finns, but most of the rest of Europe.

Presumably they intend to staff the facilities with Ukrainian conscripts after they capture Ukraine or something.

The intention is clear. We saw this before they invaded other places and we need to stop it now. Otherwise it will happen again, but this time NATO will retaliate. With or without USA.
