What was said
"From the Russian point of view, there is no version of their western periphery that doesn't include, among other things, a big chunk of Poland, all of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and another big chunk of Finland. The Russians feel they need to occupy all of that in order to have a better cordon in a defensive manner."
Zeihan outlined Russia's territorial objectives, stating Moscow views occupation of major portions of Poland, all three Baltic states, and significant Finnish territory as necessary for its western defensive perimeter. This assessment explains Finland's urgency in developing nuclear capabilities.
