What does the US gain by encouraging Sweden and Finland to join NATO?

Why would we encourage this? So if they join NATO and are somehow attacked, we can now send billions of dollars to them too?!

because conflict is profitable for folks like biden and the people who own the military industrial complex companies. Oh, and dont forget the people that finance wars on both sides (like the Bushes).

Then there is also that whole thing about the more scared people are (from things like viruses, wars, terrorists, etc.) the more they are willing to handover their freedom to governments in the name of security.

NATO has become a useless organization. Not sure why it still exists.

US gains nothing.

US politicians and their DOD contractors make money off of war.

It’s not useless it is a way the US can encircle Russia with hostile vassal states to limit Russia’s geopolitical strength. It is also a way to make and send more advanced US made weapons with the advantage of being in a more strategically advanced position in relation to one of our rivals.

Personally I don't think we should be a part of NATO anymore but that said, adding Sweden & Finland brings brings in two well trained and funded militaries

Because we should oppose the existence of NATO to begin with.

The United States? Nothing.

The faction embedded within the United States that's controlled by the globalist cabal? The sky's the limit.

They don’t bring any meaningful ability to defend us to the table.

The GLOBALIST Agenda!!

Father Bush was not even shy about it. The only mistake Reagan ever made was keeping the "Bush" alive.

And where is the US coming up with the money to arm every ally in the world?

Two countries that meet their military spending commitments?

That has never been a requirement, but both nations are more capable than most current NATO members, including Germany. Their location does provide us strategic value. And most of all, they are both asking to enter, and their membership costs us nothing whatsoever. Are you saying we should reject them just because Russia wants us to?

They're probably the only two members who would pay their full dues.
