Putin might rationally calculate that if he tried to conquer Finland (which used to be part of the Czarist Empire) there is only a 10% chance that the U.S. would put up serious resistance, and this was a gamble he would be willing to take.

Finland is an EU country. Even if the US doesn't care about defending EU territory the EU does.
