The Importance of Sweden and Finland Joining NATO

The political effectiveness of a statement claiming to prevent Russian invasion by getting Zelensky and Putin in a room for 24 hours is questionable. Donald Trump's 24-hour conflict resolution idea is deemed impractical due to the complex circumstances and parties involved. If this plan were to fail, the responsibility might shift to Zelensky or Putin. Concerns arise about Trump's admiration for Putin potentially benefiting Putin and harming Zelensky. The recent inclusion of Sweden and Finland in NATO is seen as a positive development for US interests, as both countries have strong militaries and historical success against Russia. Despite their neutral past, Sweden and Finland's entry into NATO is applauded, although it is regrettable that it took the invasion of Ukraine to prompt their membership.
