NATO should really award Putin for being the most effective NATO spokesman of the decade. Finland went from 20% in favour of NATO membership (2019) to 68% in favour of NATO membership (April, 2022).

Interesting idea. Just keep sending them lavish thank you gifts from foreign politicians, investors, and corporations until the people get suspicious.
