瑞典總算走到進入北約的最後一哩路:

"匈牙利國會投票通過瑞典入約申請案後,匈國總統將在隨後幾天內簽署生效,屆時瑞典將正式受邀加入北約,成為繼芬蘭之後的第卅二個成員國。"

瑞典加入北約後的戰略意義:

"NATO with Finland and Sweden will also now control nearly the entire Baltic Sea, except for a small corner fronting Russian territory near St. Petersburg. The Baltic’s NATO-ization means that any Russian sea vessel launching into the Atlantic must pass alliance shores, either through the Baltic gauntlet or to the north, past founding NATO member Norway.

[ Russia’s fleet in Kaliningrad, on the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania, is only 200 miles away, and so are its Iskander nuclear-capable missiles. NATO planners have long worried about how to support the Baltic nations if Russia seized the 40-mile “Suwalki Gap” between Kaliningrad and Belarus, but Sweden’s position straddling both the North and Baltic Seas would make it much easier to send NATO reinforcements.

俄羅斯波羅的海艦隊駐紮在波蘭和立陶宛之間,總部設在加里寧格勒,距離北約只有約320公里。可使用核彈頭的伊斯坎德爾導彈的部署地點也差不多是這個距離。北約的軍事規劃者一直擔心,如果俄羅斯奪取了加里寧格勒和白俄羅斯之間約64公里長的「蘇瓦烏基走廊」,對波羅的海國家的支援將是一個麻煩,但瑞典橫跨北海和波羅的海的位置將使北約更容易派出增援部隊。]
