But mah westphalian sacred nation state national borders sovereignty! You can't just go around doing sttategy like the lines on the map aren't sacred and holy!

Note that the Finnish government was prepared to accept the land swap with the ussr until some old White generals barged in and shut it all down. But, again, my sovereignty! Won't anyone think of my sovereignty!

Similar amnesia about Putin trying to normalize relations with the west and join nato years ago.
