#5  Great, more indefensible territory.

I thought NATO was supposed to be a *defensive* alliance. You don't defend anything by marching right up to the borders of a state.

#3  ...Sweden is quietly working out behind-the scenes with their various political factions when and how - the 'if' has already been decided. Putin's harassment and the 'nuclear' intercept a week or two back did in thirty days what seventy-five years of NATO offers couldn't do.
