Sweden is set to join NATO, a blow to Putin who considers the military alliance a threat to Russia.
Sweden's military is built for one thing: fighting Russia, expert Robert Clark wrote in The Telegraph.
Robert Clark, the director of defense and security for UK think tank Civitas and a British veteran, said that Sweden's "military is built for one thing, and one thing only: fighting Russia."
He outlined the ways that Sweden's military being part of NATO is likely bad news for Russia.
And with Sweden in NATO, every country in the Arctic would be in the alliance apart from Russia, he added.
