> I assume, you do not expect that NATO membership would put Finland into a direct hot confrontation with Russia, thus turning into a kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy? Neutrality is no protection against aggression. Vienna was famously one of the first targets for Soviet nuclear strike. |

According to your link in the other thread, that is assuming it was "ruthlessly" occupied by NATO.
In any case, the "end the game for everyone button" example seems like a poor choice. How did Austria actually fare during the Cold War? I honestly don't know too much about Austrian-Soviet relationships except for a few trade deals.
