Frankly, these NATO expansions and its general re-invigoration are a larger loss for Russia than anything they could possibly gain in Ukraine. Their Baltic fleet is now useless. Kaliningrad is useless.
Combined with all the other damage Ukraine has inflicted on Russia, they're basically spiralling the drain and I see no possible way Russia could rise in prominence in the future. Even if goodness forbid they were to "win" the current war they're fighting with Ukraine, that won't help them, it'll only hurt Ukraine.
The Russians regularly and egregiously violated Swedish airspace, they accused Sweden of producing the Novichok used in the assassination attempt on the Skripals, threatened Sweden with serious consequences (including nuclear threats) if they considered joining NATO, and basically treated them like cunts.

Better out than in, if that's how Russia treats non-NATO members.
