On April 4, 2023 Finland officially joined NATO, and now Putin can't attack them without getting nuked. Finnish comedian Harri Soinila checks in from Helsinki to tell us what it's like to be the newest member-state of NATO, why his country resisted the offer to join NATO for almost 100 years, and what's going on with the stand-up comedy scene in Finland this days.
