Sweden and Finland are part of U.S. security network decades ago, and economy ties with EU are very strong. Joining NATO is like a couple with 30 years of cohabitation finally get marriage.

Imo, it's the international order changed, U.S. new focus is China. In Putin and his generals' calculation, Russia should take advantage of the power shift, and take actions in East Europe. So here we go, Ukraine War. Obviously, Putin miscalculated. Now Russia is trapped in Ukraine, no hope to...
