> Finland is insignificant from a geopolitical point of view. Its joining NATO only makes NATO less secure as a whole, rather than strenghtening it.

This makes zero sense. Please elaborate.

> The dollar relevance is degrading

Can you give some facts and figures to support this ? Because as I understand then the world would be tradin in multiple currencies for Oil&Gas.

> This makes zero sense. Please elaborate.

I did in another comment under this one. Would you elaborate on why the opposite would be true?

Lets keep thing simple : NATO ensures support from other members if your sovereignty is attacked.

Meaning you don't need to only depend on your own Military capabilities in order to protect your borders.

Finland joining makes Finland's borders a FAR more expensive attack than was previously.

> joining NATO only makes NATO less secure as a whole

NATO is not an offensive/invading force. It's a defensive force. If NATO had what you're referring to as a level of security, it has only increased due to more forces available to respond.

It's that simple.

> Its joining NATO only makes NATO less secure as a whole, rather than strenghtening it.

Why is that?

It doesn't bring additional strength to the table, rather it's a country in need of protection. This means now every other NATO country has a higher chance of being forced in a defensive war if something happens to Finland. On the other hand Finland won't be able to contribute much to protect other NATO countries. Hence, NATO countries are a bit less safe now.

> It doesn't bring additional strength to the table

Strong disagree. With Finland, NATO's control of the Baltic sea is insurmountable. Together with Turkey's control on the Black Sea, this completely cripples any Russian maritime capabilities.

> rather it's a country in need of protection

Also unlikely. The geography of the Finish border is such that an invasion via land is incredibly difficult. Dense forest and mountainous terrain create many easily defended bottlenecks, and the Finns with their outsized artillery are in a perfect position to defend those.

Even without NATO protection, the Finish gave the Russians a very bloody nose the last time they tried to invade. Since then, the Finish military has been re-structured with the single purpose to defend against another Russian invasion, whereas the Russian military is constrained by many other factors. Any Russian advance against the EU now has to come via the Ukrainian and Polish plains.

"ending US hegemony" is something every average American should cheer.

Demand for American currency abroad brought stability to the currency. If that demand should diminish significantly, future American financial excesses will become a lot more dangerous. This might speed along decline or motivate a return to more disciplined economic policies. Time will tell.

The end of the ability to run deficits. Social Security and medicare financial problems become exponentially more urgent and dire.

no I'm talking about the part where poor Americans who join the armed forces go to foreign countries, are asked to kill people and sometimes die themselves

Especially Latin Americans.
