there is a very big difference between Sweden and Ukraine. It was not regarded as part of Russia ever. Finland - subjected to incursions but Sweden not (you’ve got to get through finland first anyway). You can even see it in the style of the dwellings in both countries.
Ukraine - well you know full well what Putin thinks - it’s his. Indivisibly so. neither finland nor Sweden are anywhere near as attractive to Putin, geographically, historically or economically.
of course there is one person who could really have stopped this - Putin. He could simply gave stayed at home. He could have left Crimea alone. Or donbass of Donetsk regions. He could have stopped thinking he could rearrange borders to suit his own ambitions. He could have seen what would happen if he just left well alone. Afterall he could have waited till an offensive force gathered in his borders and then dropped a bomb on them. Or whatever
but he didn’t because it didn’t suit him
but you’d rather blame someone else. You’d rather find an excuse for a bully because you don’t like another. Because you intrusive thoughts and fears and hatreds have clouded your mind
