There has been perhaps no moment in Finland’s recent history more important than now as the country—which shares an 830-mile border with Russia—edges closer to NATO membership. So the country’s 36-year-old prime minister Sanna Marin can be forgiven for letting her hair down with friends, as she apparently did over the weekend, according to a now viral video of her partying like it was 2019.

Please take your leather jacket and resign. Thanks.”
