The irony is that if they had stayed neutral like Switzerland they could just be sitting with popcorn and watching without any concern of being dragged into a major war. The genius of the “elites” strikes again! /s

Yeah, just like during their last encounter with the Russians (Soviets): The Finns got 10% of their territory stolen when the Soviets invaded, while the Swedes were forced to walk a geopolitical tightrope to avoid being invaded by the Soviets' ally, Nazi Germany.

The situation back then was admittedly quite complicated - but the Scandinavians have obviously learned their lesson well: You can't trust Ivan.

Regards,
