I really don’t understand the logic that Sweden and Finland witnessed their neighbor being invaded twice in 10 years, with absolutely no provocation, they voluntarily join a defensive alliance, and for some reason people still defend Russia for actually invading, giving a defense an action that caused the offensive action (it’s the russian invasion that triggeted nato expansion, not the contrary).

It’s as if a thief was justified in straling stuff in your property because you put a fence to defend from thieves, don’t you see how illogical it is?
