partially correct. if, in fact, putin was hoping that one of the effects of him invadingef ukraine would be a brush back to nato, that he would be able to worry less aboute nato and somehow starti this war s would make that happ, sorry. when putin invaded ukraine there were 30 i countries in nato. now there are about to be 32. finland was the 31st country to join in april. that gave russia 800 more miles of border directly with a nato country. and now as of tonight we know that sweden is going to join natoat as well. sweden said months ago that they wanted to join, but this is something that really until today looked like it couldn t happen and that s because for a new country to join nato, it has to be a unanimous decision. all the nato countries have to agree with h the decision, if o country doesn t agree it doesn t happen. and inre the case of sweden it s an original nato it was a nato w member, a single nato country,in turkey, that said no. they saidid finland was okay
