Well, yeah, Finland had no mutual defense treaties with anyone who could really help them at the time / circumstance. Being in NATO is a FAR different situation: I suggest you ask Trump if he would not come to Finland's aid if Russia invaded Finland, or, for that matter, if he prefers having Finland in NATO or not.
