Maybe the Swedes remember that Peter the Great took St. Petersburg from them when it was just a swamp.

"At a recent rally in South Carolina, he even said he'd invite Russia to attack NATO members who don't pay their dues." A lie!

"NATO was busted until I came along,” Trump said at a rally in Conway, South Carolina. “I said, ‘Everybody’s gonna pay.’ They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay, are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ They couldn’t believe the answer.” Trump said “one of the presidents of a big country” at one point asked him whether the US would still defend the country if they were invaded by Russia even if they “don’t pay.”
“No, I would not protect you,” Trump recalled telling that president. “In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

“if Russia wins in Ukraine, its next move could be to launch an attack on the region.”
What a crock. NATO needs a boogyman.
NATO needs to be dissolved, starting with it’s sugar daddy leaving. That would be us, as in US.

NATO was founded to contain Soviet aggression. It has morphed into a bureaucratic monstrosity that exists to export secular humanist ("globohomo"/woke) fascism. It should have been killed at the end of the Cold War. This is a lesson learned regarding bureaucracies in the future. We either will kill them off when their raison d'etre ends, or we will regret it.

Irrespective of an opinion on responsibility for this stupid war, it is interesting what happens when “Putin’s Rules of Historic Ownership” are applied by others. Belgians should start brushing up on their Spanish, and Spaniards on their Maghrabi Arabic. And China? Digging for that old deed on everything east of the Urals.

“effectively strike St Petersburg”
International law prohibits attacks on civilians.
That was not the case during WW2.
Stalin moved most arms factories to the Urals in WW2.

"Sweden will bring the strategic depth needed for launching air operations and missiles against Russian operations, but also be a difficult target across the Baltic Sea," he said.WTF? Is it the 1950s again?
Sweden's spy agencies are also pretty good, as is their surveillance plan in Russia, I Am Curious (Red).
