      This but a little bit unironically. They and their Scandinavian neighbors went unaligned during the Cold War and reaped an enormous peace dividend.

      Now that the country is getting sucked into the Ukraine-Russia mess, they’re pivoting towards domestic spending cuts and tighter immigration rules and a big new military budget.

        Strange that, when a country invaded another country, invades that same country again a handful of years later, and then that same imaging country threatens your country if you try to join a certain group of people, that you might go ahead and try to prevent that country from invading you.

        Very strange.
