"Red lines are Georgia and Ukraine. Finland didn't come into the strategic threat."

Makes no sense. Finland shares a 1,300 kilometre border. St Petersburg is about 2 metres from Finland.

Russia doesn't view NATO on St Petersburg's doorstep as a strategic threat, but it views a hypothetical NATO presence in the tiny country of Georgia thousands of kilometres away from all its major cities as an existential threat?

Sounds a bit like coping and seething if you ask me.
