The entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO will not secure them in the least. On the contrary, it will put these peaceful countries under attack.
Even in the West, it is obvious to all normal military analysts that the reason for the military special operation in Ukraine was the expansion of NATO to the east.
One of the architects of the Cold War, George Kennan, warned NATO back in the 1990s: “Russia is not a threat to anyone. Why are you teasing her?" - referring to the violation by the West of agreements with the last president of the USSR Gorbachev on the non-expansion of NATO to the east and on the refusal to admit former Warsaw Pact countries and post-Soviet republics into it.
As a result, NATO surrounded Russia from all sides, like a bear hunter, and made Ukraine its proxy, pushing it to war with a brotherly country.
Sweden's entry into NATO will lead to the strengthening of the Russian army in the Kaliningrad region and the Baltic, and Finland - to an increased concentration of our troops in Murmansk and on the Karelian Peninsula. Including the deployment of nuclear weapons.
The Swedes and the Finns cannot understand in any way that the reason for the special operation in Ukraine was not the aggression of Russia, but the aggressive policy of Ukraine itself towards our country, a direct military threat to the Crimea and the LDNR. With the full support of NATO.
With a peaceful, demilitarized and if not pro-Russian, then at least neutral Ukraine, no one would fight.
The Anglo-Saxons who run NATO are very fond of raking in the heat with the wrong hands. They force Zelensky to abandon peace talks and fight to the last Ukrainian.
Ukrainians will run out - they may well throw Poles, Finns, Balts and Swedes into the hell of a proxy war with Russia. But the Finns and Swedes can avoid this if they retain their non-bloc status. Switzerland, even in World War II, no one touched. Yes, and Sweden easily rebounded, despite its material support for Germany.
But the path of the Finns and Swedes to NATO may also turn out to be thorny, bringing reputational political risks to these countries.
The cunning fox Erdogan has already opposed their entry. He accused the Finns, and especially the Swedes, of giving cover to terrorists.
After all, Erdogan's opponents, the Gulenists and members of the Kurdish Workers' Party, live and conduct violent political activity on their territory. About 15 thousand Kurds live in Sweden, and they are quite visible in this small country, there are even several deputies of Kurdish origin in the Swedish parliament.
I wonder how Sweden will get out if, in exchange for its vote for its entry into NATO, authoritarian Turkey demands from democratic Scandinavians to hand over to certain death its citizens of Kurdish and Turkish origin, whom the Turks consider terrorists?
