“Sweden and Finland didn’t seek out NATO membership to get into a war, they sought it to stay out of war.”
Nuts. They joined because Russia is a weak paper tiger and can’t do much about it. They wouldn’t have dared to join if the old Soviet Union was still a going concern.
Tha is a total disconnect from the reality, the invasion of Ukraine, a country not in NATO, led to their people seeking membership, the 2022 invasion even had Switzerland seriously considering NATO.
