Milk_Sheikh,

the border has literally moved thanks to the Nordic countries getting into NATO and no longer being neutral

angrygoose.jpgWhy are they now in NATO? It couldn’t possibly be because:

  • After decades of ‘status quo’ Nordic neutrality was respected by all sides, Russia upsets that balance by…
  • Invading Ukraine in violation of the Minsk treaty, having guaranteed Ukraine’s independence if it gave up the leftover Soviet nukes
  • Russian rhetoric from the highest level of government has regularly consisted of nuclear Sabre rattling and talk of ‘reunification’

Given how Putin has gone complete clown show into revanchist ideology and is trying to restore the Russian Empire, it’s completely logical for the Nordics/the world to seek alliances for protection.
