Martti Koskenniemi: Powers of Sovereignty - Powers of Paradox

[@myrthosbarthos3492]

Two questions: why is the host wearing a mask?! Secondly, shouldn't Martti make reference to deliberate and willing relinquishing of sovereignty by Finland (especially since he made a comment in context of paradox when his country joined the EU) when it decided to join NATO with concsequential catastrophic loss of independence and exposure to a war. Why did the country willingly accept to became a part of the new American colony. The same phenomenon obviously applies to other, confusingly most powerful European nations like Germany whose leaders effectively and willingly abandoned the fundamental concept of sovereignty and made a number of decisions that are destroying their nations in the context of economy and national security. German leadership for example, are openly and explicitly saying that they would not take German people's interests into account when making most important decisions regarding the war in Ukraine. How would Marttii explain this extraordinary and most recent development in the context of sovereignty?
