Sweden today (May16, 2022) decided to join neighboring Finland in seeking NATO membership, ending more than two centuries of military nonalignment in a historic shift prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, according to the AP website.
Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Anderson warned that the Nordic country would be in a "vulnerable position" during the application period and urged her fellow citizens to brace themselves for a Russian response.
"Russia has said that it will take countermeasures if we join NATO," she stated.
