I mean NATO is good for security, but don’t you already got Finland as a barrier against Russia? I don’t see a need to rush. What’s Russia gonna do? Invade via the water?
Our defence has historically been coordinated to a high degree with Finland, and with only one of us in NATO it makes this coordination more difficult. So, in some ways, we are worse off than before the process started.
As it is now, Sweden is generally not worried about a land invasion. The danger is how exposed we are from the baltic.
A large part of why we want in is for continued solidarity and support of Finland. It is much better for Finland if we are in than if we are not.
