I hope Russia doesnt try anything weird against them before then...I know Sweden is sort of secure from Russian aggression but Finland shares a massive border with Russia. Obviously after the disaster with Ukraine I dont think Russia has any man power to try another assault on a neighboring state but yeah...I know their little exclave is full of missiles....

oh gosh I forgot how close the exclave is to Sweden :S 

i feel like Russia would not want smoke from Sweden though. It's one of the most powerful countries in Europe (surprisingly enough) but you never know tbh...Putin has been doing insane things all the time so no one is truly safe at this point. ugh

Not to also paint the devil on the wall, but if you measure from the north-western tip of Kaliningrad to Gotland island, the distance is even smaller.. Gotland (Swedish territory) has a special strategic value in the context of the Baltic Sea, Russia having it under control would allow it to project its influence over the whole sea and contain what is sees as NATO encroachment from this direction..

We are not secure from Russian aggression. If Russia is desperate enough, they will try to take Gotland before we even get the chance to join. That's basically why they threaten Sweden in particular, whoever controls Gotland controls the baltic sea.
