    You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about, just parroting whatever the fuck you heard from radio sputnika.

    Yes, USA has a ton of influence over Europe, and people are starting to understand it, but we wanted to join NATO DESPITE IT. There’s really no other option.

    The opinion in Finland and Sweden was for long time largely negative regarding joining NATO, but after the Russian invasion in Ukraine in 2022 people started demanding it.

      I must’ve missed the referendums in Finland and Sweden where the opinion of the public was considered. In fact, I distinctly remember how Swedish government said this was too important to put up for the referendum. Thanks for making my point for me there.
