Putin will have his reasons to have started this war, we hope that some objectives are also clear to avoid that, if it gets out of hand, it ends up dying killing. But if it were true that he attacked in the face of the overwhelm of the Atlantic Alliance setting foot on his border by admitting Ukraine, he has just received very bad news with the announcement that Finland paves the way for joining NATO and Sweden also wants to transit it.

These two countries decided to practice an active policy of non-alignment with the military blocs of one side or the other as a security strategy. to avoid a possible Russian intervention. That feeling has blown up. Finland, a progressive and modern country, with the world’s youngest prime minister and the largest number of women in its government, has told Putin that they no longer feel safe being neutral. Sweden will follow the steps and although the process may take longer, from the start it puts the two countries in the defense front of NATO, although they were not yet full members and although some countries of the Alliance, such as Hungary or Turkey, they want to get a slice making objections
Entry is an important step for the Alliance. In the case of Finland, which has one of the best prepared armies to repel an aggression by land, means putting NATO to defend a 1,300-kilometer border with Russia. In the case of Sweden, it also means closing the Baltic Sea to the domain of the Atlantic Alliance and turning it into a mousetrap for the Russian army. If Putin felt the burden of Ukraine’s possible entry into NATO, something that in the best of cases would have taken more than a decade, this movement by the Nordic countries points in two directions: on the one hand, NATO, on all its years of history, it had never garnered so much support; on the other hand, points to Putin as guilty of this military revival. If he wanted to get rid of the burden of the Alliance, he has already lost, Ukraine changes everything.
