Still Russia invaded Georgia when they wanted to join NATO and Ukraine wanted to join EU so at least there is some move prior before they start a war... Sweden and Finland are the only two soft countries before the real border with NATO starts also so i guess that's why Russia is playing games there more easily. Swedish defence spending is from a very low baseline also i read somewhere so perhaps a good move to change course and invest more for the future...
