Nations aren’t given a choice to join. They either join or the US removes the government and installs one that will. Neither Sweden nor Finland face any threat from any nations, let alone Russia. The supposed “threat” is that Russia has invaded Ukraine “without provocation” and could invade anyone else next - the “[[WMD]]” lie told now to advance US [[foreign policy]] objectives. NATO has waged a proxy war of aggression against the ethnic Russian od Donbass since 2014. The was no democratic referendum for the people of Finland and Sweden to decide if they wanted to join the alliance. With Sweden and Finland joining NATO, they will be less secure. The next time NATO wages a [[war of aggression]] thousands of miles from its own borders, Swedish and Finnish troops will be sent to die there and both nations’ treasuries emptied in the process. NATO expansion is a factor of US hegemony - an unwillingness to accept multipolarism and its attempt to continue imposing unipolar primacy.
