Here's an idea maybe Ukraine should get to decide its alignment status and not be forced into neutrality at gunpoint.
I’m not referring to world war 2, I’m taking about the decades following, and at the present time.
In which case the situation is definitely not comparable to the present invasion of the Ukraine. Sweden is not NATO but it's part of the EU, most of which is under the umbrella of NATO. In 2022, as in the 1940s, Switzerland is too difficult to invade and conquer. It would be a bloodbath for any idiot deciding to.
Now can we stop with the red herrings? The non aligned countries you keep fishing for aren't the Ukraine. There are similarities with other countries present and past, but the ones you have mentioned are not in similar situations.
I'll reiterate: non aligned or aligned, a country cannot defend itself by pleasing its neighbors, particularly hostile ones. Period.
I believe, Black Dog, you nailed it. At least you're not in favor of appeasing belligerent powers.
