@pickinthatbanjo Sweden and Finland were already, to all practical purposes, part of NATO before they formally joined. Their official membership is more symbolic than anything else. Furthermore, NATO is, was, and always has been an existential threat to Russia. Its primary purpose was to deter Russia from liberating the European continent from the control of the fascists and capitalists, the USA formost among them.
You see capitalism, especially of the Anglo-American variety, is predicated on profit for its continued success and when it can no longer make profits it begins to decline, then capitalism is in trouble (look up 'declining rate of profit'). What this means is that capitalist countries cannot and will not stop expanding until they are stopped by force and the fact that NATO still exists despite the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and the disappearance of communism and is no longer confined to defence but offence (Libya, Yugoslavia) should be all the proof you need.
