Media say it will be official tomorrow.
The goal of this Scandinavian military partnership is to be able to work together against shared antagonists.

They're not? Are they like Russians?No. They're Finnish. They have their own culture. They're influenced by Sweden and Russia because they're sandwiched between them, but their language and culture is distinct from both. They're neither Germanic nor Slavic. As far as language goes, Russian and English are more similar to each other than Russian or Swedish are to Finnish.

because it seems to undermine one of the lessons of the world wars which is that there should be one international body (the UN) that includes everyone, and that entangling defense alliances were dangerous powder kegs.

All 5 Nordic countries work together on a multitude of things but the 3 Scandinavian nations got a much more frosty relationship with Russia than Finland does. So there is nothing fishy about this type of alliance.
