@settherecordstraight: With Trump talking about the US purchasing Greenland, it’s worth exploring what’s at stake in the Arctic—a region rapidly emerging as a geopolitical hotspot. Melting ice has unveiled new shipping routes and vast untapped resources, making the Arctic a strategic prize. For Russia, the stakes are particularly high. With NATO’s expansion pressing on its western flank, Russia sees the Arctic as a critical space to assert its influence and secure its economic future. The Kremlin has invested heavily in military infrastructure, icebreaker fleets, and energy exploration, framing the Arctic as a buffer against perceived encirclement by NATO. As the region becomes a chessboard for great-power competition, understanding these dynamics is crucial to anticipating the future balance of power. #foryoupage #fyp #JohnMearsheimer #Russia #US #Finland #Sweden #Europe #NATO #Encirclement #Arctic #GeoPolitics #ForeignPolicy #SetTheRecordStraight

The leaders of those countries were paid for making the decision to join NATO. It’s as simple as that.

And than you have to look into history and what Russia have done in against Finland and Sweden over the years. And it would make more sense to them to join Nato.

As a Finnish he seems like puppet of Putin though. What is wrong having joint forces in Europe if we can live in piece among ourselves.
