Above all because Finland wanted to join NATO due to possible Russian nuclear blackmail. Until then both countries had a kind of defensive alliance, but now Sweden stood alone. And after Russia's invasion of Ukraine a majority of the population, for the first time, wanted to join NATO. The conservatives, now in power, have wanted to join NATO for a long time.

As the minister said, a few months before starting the slaughter in 2022, the war criminal Putin declared that NATO must go back to 1997 borders for Russia to back down. Then Finland and Sweden joined NATO. That s how you negotiate with the Kremlin. Respect ! And the Coat of Arms not changing in russia, awesome point.

U Bugarskoj imamo šalu. - Zašto Rusija ne izvozi bicikle? - Zato što Rusija ne proizvodi bicikle!

I think I understand how AH came up with the misunderstanding that Russia and USSR was the same thing. The FM of the USSR at the time was a Russian: Molotov !!!!!

[@Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo]

And the leader was Georgian?????

[@thilomanten8701]

'Cause Sweden has decided that the centuries long tradition of neutrality has come to an end...and PooTin is just a major contribution factor to this; but not the only factor!

35:28 Appeasement was not a mistake, it was used to buy time for a totally unprepared UK and France to rearm. We have the same situation now, doing everything to not become a combatant, while rearming ourselves.

[@bengtolsson5436]

The fact that Sweden joined NATO is because we know how Russian leaders are and cannot be trusted. Relying only on luck, as has been done for 200 years, no longer holds.

[@DeadManWalking4574]

Sweden joined NATO was entierly an elit project,, the population was newer asked.

[@bengtolsson5436]

😂 Such a question does not need to be asked. Because that has been done in general elections. And have politicians who can do it.

[@matso3856]

That's a dishonest argument, if Swedes didn't want NATO, the communist party would now be in power, however it is not

[@fjodorfjader8661]

65% of the population was in favor of joining. A referandum would be a waste of time and money.

[@ibrahimvestin1901]

His excellency FM of Sweden is making the same mistake as Adolf Hitler, the loser. AH said ”Russia” instead of using the correct true name Soviet Union, and his underestimation led to his demise. Both has had no clue what they are up against.
