    If Russia starts a war with NATO, Sweden would have joined anyways. The biggest hesitation would probably be if Turkey was invaded.

    The Republicans possibly leaving NATO is unfortunate, but doesn’t make NATO useless.

    The goal of Sweden joining NATO is to have guarantees that other countries would help if Sweden got invaded, unlike what happened to neutral Ukraine.

      Oh I know. Just sucks that we have a shity ass right wing party willing to abandon allies we’ve had for 70+ years because they got compromised in 2016 and are to massive a pussy to bite the bullet and choose county over party.

      I think they pissed off our ladies so bad they are fucked come election time, but a lot of uncertainty isn’t helping Ukraine fight off the orks.
