Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Finland, which is highly nervous, fears that this will one day happen to itself. In fact, Finland ignores one of the most basic problems, that is, there is a precondition for the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, that is, the United States is promoting NATO's eastward expansion, Ukraine is the target of NATO's eastward expansion, and Ukraine is Russia's neighbor, and then the problem of the Donbass region has exacerbated this contradiction between Russia and Ukraine.

Ukraine has a follower
Although Finland is also a neighbor of Russia, and the two countries still have a border of more than 1,300 kilometers, Finland did not actively join NATO at the beginning, so it did not pose a threat to Russia, and there was no need for Russia to use force against it. Even after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as long as Finland and NATO maintain a distance, Russia has no reason to use force against Finland, and I did not expect that Finland would follow in Ukraine's footsteps.
Finland joined Sweden on May 17 in declaring its intention to join NATO. Before Finland made this decision, it had been seduced by the United States, and NATO had been beckoning to Finland. In the end, the US-led NATO finally achieved its goal, and the value of Ukraine was even less low at this time.

Originally, Ukraine was a pawn used by the United States to deal with Russia, and now the United States is more willing to spend a lot of money to make Ukraine charge, because for the United States, Finland's accession to NATO is a greater threat to Russia, and Ukraine is only used to consume Russia's strength.
Finland is hard to ride a tiger
Ukraine still does not recognize this, still refuses peace talks, still confronts Russia, so Ukraine always receives bad news, Mariupol has completely lost control, and Kherson in the southern region of Ukraine is still going to join the Russian Federation. Finland also received a bad news, Finland did not expect that the first thing to wait for was not to join NATO, but to "send" a nuclear bomb from Russia.

Originally, Russia did not regard Finland as a neutral country as a threat, but now that Finland has taken the initiative to provoke Russia, Then Russia cannot wait to ignore it, so Russia and Russia-Finland have sent Iskander missiles on the border. This missile system can carry nuclear warheads, which means that the problem of denuclearization does not exist on the Russian-Mongolian border.
Finland originally thought that joining NATO would improve its level of security, but it did not expect to fight chickens and eggs. The most frightening problem is that Russia has also shipped a number of Iskander missile systems, which are short-range missiles with a range of only 500 kilometers, but the Finnish capital is just within the range of such missiles.

Sweden is far more wrong than Finland
According to the characteristics of Russia's past work, it is estimated that this matter will not be spared. Sweden has been neutral for more than 200 years, unsettled by World War I and World War II, and did not expect a small Russian-Ukrainian conflict to change Sweden's views for hundreds of years.
Fortunately, at present, The two countries have not yet officially joined NATO, and there is still a chance to save, so the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova once again issued a stern warning to the two countries when they submitted a paper application letter to NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg.

The process of joining NATO will not be so smooth, and Stoltenberg may allow the two countries to become members of NATO within a year or two and be willing to protect them during the application period, but Turkey and Croatia oppose the two countries joining NATO. Turkey and Croatia opposed this not for the sake of justice and the cold war, but for the sake of pursuing their own interests.
