Yeah, I get where he's coming from on this on principle. Realistically, this will be one of those things where both sides gain, and it won't cost them anything. There is zero chance Russia is going to go after either country now that NATO admission is inevitable. So the Nordics get that safety, and we get closer cooperation and intelligence sharing with two of the better-run militaries in Europe.

Plus, adding more countries to the "will not be attacked" club is good just from a human perspective.

“Plus, adding more countries to the “will not be attacked” club is good just from a human perspective.”

It’s just adding to the list, far too long, that the US has pledged existential nuclear war to defend.

How anyone can can themselves an American and support that is beyond comprehension.

They are most certainly not American nationalists, and have mixed loyalties...at best.

At worst they are traitors.

Need to add "will not be attacked because the United States pays for their defense with US treasure and, if it comes to it, blood."

Certainly not because Russia is concerned that Norway and Spain will rush to defend them. So add some more "US pays for it one way or another" to the list.
