Sweden in Big Shift Decides It Will Join NATO; Prompted by Russia's Savage Invasion of Ukraine

 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.
