  5. I agree with your assessment about Finland's position because they need to be part of NATO if they are going to send heavy weapons to Ukraine. If they are a member of NATO then they can rely on other NATO countries coming to their defense if the Russian's attack, but without such an assurance they need to maintain their force strength and will likely need every bullet they have along with the tanks. I find it more puzzling why a country like Spain who was very agreeable to sending their Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine is now having cold feet. What really worries me is the pivotal role that the autocrat Erdogan in Turkiye is playing. I feel certain that Q'uran burning in Sweden was orchestrated by the FSB precisely because it plays into Erdogan's hand. The Russian oilgarchs have their yacht moored in resorts in Turkiye. Erdogan milked the grain crisis to skim profits from grain sold to Syria. All in all Turkiye has done very well for itself in this war, and has helped Russia a lot. Who knows what deal was cut for Erdogan to block specifically Sweden's entry to NATO. Keep in mind that the Greeks and Turks are at one another's throats once again about some islands in the Aegean, and NATO needs to keep that from blowing up into a war. NATO is indeed a defensive organization because it provides a framework for the European countries to police one another as well as defend against Russia. I think the best hope for Ukraine lies with Poland. I would not be bit surprised if we see a modern Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth reconstitute itself because Western Ukraine was part of that Commonwealth, and a tight political alliance between Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine might serve them better than NATO does. I recommend looking at the Wikipedia article about the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth because of how much it could apply today if reformed. That would really be Russia's nightmare more than NATO is.
