Putin’s insistence on doing frequent airspace violations over Gotland is like half the reason we pursued joining Nato in the first place. That started way back. Ukraine just tipped the scales over enough to cause us to take action on it.
Sweden used to pride itself on wanting to stay neutral, but that’s quite a bit harder to sustain when someone with significantly higher military power keeps harassing you.
Putin likely gets 2nd hand info. if he had stuck to his troll farm/propaganda machine and fun far right only. ukraine would be theirs eventually. i think he got nervous when the last president fled ukraine.
Thread above mentions China and Taiwan, which probably triggered your keyword search and you jumped in with “are you talking about these western leaders?”
How exactly did I not comprehend what you were saying?
It’s dubious that they would’ve eventually got what they wanted. Trump never had a chance of conquering Iran and knew it - he dodged the draft for Vietnam.

That’s not unique to him. China would’ve eventually had Taiwan without a fuss if not for how they dealt with Hong Kong.
But alas, authoritarian inflexibility and insecurity force morons at the helms of modern empires to do dumbest shit to pursue ephemeral glories.

Oh look, an ml user coming in to deflect off someone mentioning China in a bad light. Shocking.
