The meeting in Stockholm comes less than two months after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has altered the regional security picture in Scandinavia.

Finland's Prime Minister Sanna Marin and Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson are meeting in Stockholm on Wednesday to discuss regional security matters in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine .

On Wednesday, Finland will begin a debate that could see it putting forth an application to the NATO military alliance that it already cooperates with.

Moscow has already expressed its disapproval. In fellow non-NATO member state Sweden, Russia's war against its neighbor Ukraine has also provoked anxiety, as well as a political about face on the country's question of military non-alignment.

Russia has repeatedly said NATO expansion is a thorn in its side, while NATO maintains the alliance is defensive in nature.

Let's see what the outcome is but I hope they don't . It would not be a good thing to see another Ukraine happen to both countries.

Having ties with Russia is the main reason Ukraine is still standing, Russia is taking them with kid glove... There are many ethnic Russia in Ukraine which is making it difficult to do some high level attack but that won't applies to Sweden and Finland...

I hope someone tell them this, I don't want to hear Russia is destroying Finland or Sweden later...

With both countries having a population of less than 17 million and land mass a little above Ukraine's, I hope someone is advising them thoughtfully... Bombing them to Oblivion will be a walk over, don't poke sleeping Lion...

No, to unit them more

It's none of Russias business what another country do.
Haven't they learned that yet? If russia was a nice neighbor
they would have influence with othet countries. They aren't nice so their neighbor's don't listen to them. All countries follow what is best for their national interests.

EU fell right into US trap!
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about and, in particular, a pipeline that connects to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance s. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the Biden istration opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between and Russia signal an end to the “unipolar” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the Superpower that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.

That’s where Ukraine comes into the picture. Ukraine is Washington’s ‘weapon of choice’ for torpedoing Nord Stream and putting a wedge between and Russia. The strategy is taken from page one of the US Foreign Policy Handbook under the rubric: Divide and Rule. Washington needs to create the perception that Russia poses a security threat to Europe. That’s the goal. They need to show that Putin is a bloodthirsty aggressor with a hair-trigger temper who cannot be trusted. To that end, the media has been given the assignment of reiterating over and over again, “Russia is planning to invade Ukraine.” What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None of this is reported by the media, instead the focus is on “evil Putin” who has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border threatening to plunge all of Europe into another bloody war.

All of the hysterical war propaganda is created with the intention of manufacturing a crisis that can be used to isolate, demonize and, ultimately, splinter Russia into smaller units. The real target, however, is not Russia, but . Check out this excerpt from an article by Michael Hudson at The Unz Review:

“The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” (“America’s Real Adversaries Are Its European and Other Allies”, The Unz Review)

There it is in black and white. The Biden team wants to “goad Russia into a military response” in order to sabotage NordStream. That implies there will be some kind of provocation designed to induce Putin to send his troops across the border to defend the ethnic Russians in the eastern part of the country. If Putin takes the bait, the response would be swift and harsh. The media will excoriate the action as a threat to all of Europe while leaders around the world will denounce Putin as the “new Hitler”. This is Washington’s strategy in a nutshell, and the whole production is being orchestrated with one goal in mind; to make it politically impossible for the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to wave NordStream through the final approval process.

All predictions keep unfolding. Consequence of international blonder. It would have made the best sense if Putin had only threatened Ukraine and not invade or at worse made a quick but tangible defeat against Ukraine. Now the more the so called special military operation lingers, the more the west will make most of it.
In the coming year or so, Russia will be relegated to a semi pariah state or at best a nuclear regional power. She will have a very little to no influence in Europe.
The bitter truth is, Russia just strengthened The west (US) hegemony. Indirectly, aided Indo-Pacific strategy.
TIP Watch the politics of Pacific region closely.

These guys will become US puppets. I hope Finland doesn’t . US causing chaos everywhere they go and these stupid EU can’t see it!

Did you notice that all countries that oppressed and plundered Africa are all part of NATO?

lol..... do you think if Ukrainians have ed NATO....it would have been like this??

Elvictor:
Please .

So Europe was the one that told you to keep electing dumbass' and corrupt people into government

Well it was meant to be a 2 day war at best, now it's almost two months , 7 weeks already.

Russian intelligence told Putin that many Ukrainians would welcome Russian troops.

From house arrest in March to notorious Jail in April. Putin is not happy.

That's the result of the invasion lingering on. Of course Putin will purge more of his own.

.

About time. With Putin openly and feverishly displaying Hitleric tendencies History appears to be repeating itself. Ominously the world is effectively quiet and inactive about Putin.

And?

Putin should not take more than he can chew

NATO is the greatest & the most formidable cult in the World. It's a cult worthy of hip.
