Putin has created a Freudian loop. He is trying to prevent what his actions are creating. What choices do Finland and Sweden have? Join a defensive coalition, NATO, or trust Putin’s word which doesn’t mean anything?

Putin is NATO employee of the month for 2 months in a row 😂

Living in Sweden for all my life and one thing is for sure, , , , the more Russia making threats about this, , , , the more we want to join NATO. And the more we are willing to spend on the military defense of both Sweden and Finland.

Stand up to bullies! Up yours, Putin!

Welcome Finland, you have a great country and great people

Sweden spent the entire cold war developing advanced weapons to counter Russian technology and military specifically due to their small size and army, they never during the entire time applied for NATO membership even after being approached. Wonder if they will change their mind now, fearing an aggressive Russian military and administration.

Russia seems to be like the bad neighborhood bully that nobody wants.
Final and and Sweden have always had a weary eye on them while preparing their economy, technology and infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Russia became the Kleptocrat State.

“Finland’s NATO membership is a threat”

Last time they said that, they invaded a country 🙄
