Finland and Sweden were always a threat to Russia’s (and before that, the Soviet Union’s) borders IMO. Their joining NATO was simply making things official in that regard- not that it wasn’t a provocation, but it was a fait accompli- something that had already happened, honestly over a century ago at this point (with no real divergence since then, rather things have only gotten worse). Nordic “neutrality” was always just a convenient lie to keep the heat off the Scandinavians till they would smell blood in the water- and all this shows, is that nowadays, they are so vassalized, so thoroughly compromised by the US/NATO, that even that criteria has gone out the window.
