    If Finland did not have such a military, it would be invaded.

    That’s a speculation you are making, russia spend 20 times as much as finland does in war they wouldn’t have much problems invading finland if it was all about military strength.

    That is what empires do

    That’s true USA does the same.

    Ideally, neither side would have to waste money on this military, but until Russia gives up theirs, Finland can’t give up theirs either.

    While finland spend less than russia NATO combined spend 20 times as much as russia does in war. Do you see where your logic leads? To match USA alone russia would have to tenfold their military budget.
