IT was a reference to the terminal movie where tom hanks gets stuck in that airport when his country gets invaded.
Also as to NATO I truly and sinciriely doubt anyone in the world would raise, based on experinence, more than an eyebrow, some supplies and volunteers for finland if we went to all out war, even in justified defence, our experience as finns is that if we do get into a war, we'll be on our own, a good policy to have in my opinion, theres no reason to trust anyone would help us or me were that to happen. IF its a justified defencive war I'd probably scurry back home and sign up for the military and do my bit but thats not much in the grand scheme of things, we'd probably go out in a blaze of glory and develop some insane bioweapon or something stupid in our last throes and try to do all samson option on the world but that would probably fail miserably.
Long story short, I dont belivve the west would help is in any meaningful way, their total assitance would be less than 3 divisions of men in a army of 350.000 at start that we could put into field today and have it fully armed to western standards, one division being 8000 or so men. Reality is we'd put up a huge fight but be overrun in 3 weeks according to our own estimates and we'd evacuate the civilian population to any country that would have it but we couldnt do much under hostile air cover.
