This should also be a win for the civilized part of global humanity be it East, West, South or North as the entire world is in this together. It should also be a kick in the gut against the un-American and seditious GOP/GQP party of Putin. So, where is the uptick in President Biden's approval rating in this historical regard as follows?

MADRID – In the days before he unleashed Russia’s firepower on Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin calculated the war would rupture the military alliance between the United States and its NATO allies.

Instead, the alliance is about to get stronger.

Finland and Sweden, two historically neutral countries, are seeking to become NATO members a move driven by concerns about their own security in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Their membership would redraw the map potentially placing NATO troops on the Finnish-Russian border. Though formal approval of their applications is still pending, the final obstacle was removed Tuesday when Turkey lifted its opposition to their membership.

The two Nordic countries’ decision to join the world’s biggest military alliance represents a crucial strategic victory for the West and a serious blow to Putin, analysts say.

“It’s a defeat for him. It’s a kick in the gut,” said Charles Kupchan, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, a nonprofit think tank that specializes in foreign policy and international relations."
