Mitäs nyt on tapahtunut kun töistä ajellessani olin kuulevinani radiosta jotta Stoltenbergin mukaan NATO tulee jo nyt puolustamaan Suomea kuin jos olisimme NATO:n jäsen?
Valtakunnallisissa YLE:n uutisissa siis. Olenko minäkin saanut sen auringon piston?
EDIT:

Siinä se klo 17 uutiset toimittanut toimittaja Pietu sanoo kohdassa 00:40 että Stoltenberg sanoo jotta NATO on valmis puolustamaan Suomea ja Ruotsia samaan tapaan kuin se puolustaa jäsenmaitaan.
EDIT2: Tässä NATO:n kotisivuilta litterointia Stoltenbergin tämänpäiväisestä tiedotustilaisuudesta, eka kysymys. Lieneekö tuosta toimittaja saanut innoituksen tulkintaansa?

...And with that, I am ready to take your questions.
NATO Spokesperson Oana Lungescu: We’ll start with CNBC.
Hadley Gamble (CNBC): Secretary General, Hadley Gamble with CNBC News. Can I ask you to respond directly to the comments we heard overnight from Russian President Vladimir Putin? He essentially suggested that Sweden and Finland joining the Alliance would require some kind of response from the Russian government. He said that if there were NATO weapons systems placed in those two countries that that would precipitate a direct response from his government. And can I also ask you to respond directly to him, and when he says that, at this point, Ukraine should surrender completely and all he wants is the Donbass region?
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg: So we decided today to support Ukraine, to make sure that Ukraine prevails as an independent sovereign state in Europe. And President Putin's brutal war against Ukraine is absolutely unacceptable. It's causing a lot of death, damage for the Ukrainian people, but it also has ramifications over the whole world, not least because of the increase in food prices. So it's President Putin that should withdraw its forces and end this war immediately by stopping attacking a democratic sovereign nation and causing so much suffering in Ukraine.
When it comes to Finland and Sweden. Finland and Sweden are sovereign nations and they have the right to choose their own path and to join NATO. We have welcomed them into our Alliance. We are, of course, prepared for any eventuality. But at the same time, I think what we see now in Ukraine demonstrates that Russia is now fully focused on that war, and therefore, also… We are also taking note of messages from Moscow actually, that it doesn't change that much that Finland and Sweden are joining the Alliance.
While they have communicated different messages from Moscow on that issue, the most important thing for us is that Finland and Sweden will become members of the Alliance. We are there to protect all Allies, and of course also Finland and Sweden. And we are prepared for all eventualities.
NATO Spokesperson: We’ll go to Swedish Radio.
Jan Andersson (Swedish Radio): Jan Andersson, Swedish Radio. Now you will apparently have another two Member States, Sweden and Finland. What kind of challenges will you have in terms of unity? You have a lot of differences in [a] way, these groups of Member States, we're talking about economics, politics, military power. And the second question, if I may, when will you sign the Accession Protocol? Thank you.
NATO Secretary General: The political decision, the real decision to invite Finland and Sweden to join NATO was taken at this Summit yesterday. So that decision has been taken. And then we will do the formal signing of the Accession Protocol on Tuesday, with the presence of Swedish and Finnish Foreign Ministers. But the reality, the decision, has been decided already with the political decision by all the leaders yesterday, at this Madrid Summit."
