The same reason why Ukraine wasn't permitted to join NATO. If anything Finland would be much worse.

Have you seen Russia invading NATO countries? I haven't. Looking at their military performance it's clear they can't do it even if they wanted. Russians wanted less NATO and it seems they got more of it... clearly Putin isn't as good in this 4D chess as you think he is.

It's expected that Finland sends paper for joining in less than a month before the next NATO meeting. Sweden is actually less likely to join.
People act like Russia can infinitely sustain a war and that Russia has more resources to throw in Ukraine than the Western countries combined.
In any case, what do you expect when you have geniuses who were arguing that a long war was akshually totally planned by Putin...
Yes, they are doing a lot of grandstanding with their application and watching the Russian response. Finnish people aren't suicidal like eastern Europeans are, but if Russia shows itself weak enough they may go through with it.
Hopefully the Ukraine war is sorted out before then.
I don't know if this was posted before but this is the first actual video of a brand new weapon directly from the British Army arsenal to the Ukrainian Army and this makes Ukraine second only to the UK in having this very advance and very new missile systems.

People would have believed this if Ukraine invasion didn't happen but it's been revealed that most Russian units are performing poorly even thought they are near their home country and most of their regularly military is there.
Also, Russians cannot open another front... they don't have men nor equipment to do that because they basically emptied all their garrisons near Finland and send all that into Ukraine (many won't return). Hot air coming from Moscow.
Russia has replaced Germany as No 1 import trade partner of Turkey. What else is not 4D chess and this is March this thing is less bothersome than Yemen to Saudi.
