The Swedes are apparently so excited that they're celebrating in the streets! And by celebrating I mean shortening the usual 2 meter personal space to a mere 1.5 meters to politely confirm that this is indeed an interesting development.

As a German, I feel safer already!
Good to know the Vikings are with us this time.

Woooo, NATO lake!

The Baltic sea is now the NATO sea. Now we should build a big ass dam in the Finnish Gulf.

Gripens for everyone!

tactical explosive blåhajs incoming, you better be ready russia

Thats good news!

Finally, that big gap the size of Sweden has been filled.

And it only took 11 months after Finland.

Fantastic news. The wall of democracy is far more solid.

I am afraid that this fear of Russia is blown a bit over-proportion and is used by the US to gain even more dominance of the World military power. Russia was not really successful in it's invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine is a lot smaller and closer to Russia then Sweden. Not to mention the geographiclly harder to conquer. At this pace I dont see that Russia can invade Sweden in the next century or more. While joining NATO right now will indirectly mean that Sweden increases it's military and particapates in NATO involvement in the middle east. It is a bit scary how centralized the power balance of the world has become. US is now involved with almost all wars in the World and is invading coutries like Iraq, Syria, Libya without any justification and no repricussions, just for oil. I am more scared of the US and I think that is reasonable.
