In his opinion, these countries want to join a "failed and outdated organization" and will not benefit from membership in the alliance.

“NATO has proven itself incapable of delivering what taxpayers pay for, which is stability, peace and security,” Oberg said.

He also noted that the world is experiencing the worst crisis since the creation of the alliance, and also called for the question: "who provoked this conflict?".

“Are we supposed to believe that Finland and Sweden will not host American military bases, American military personnel or something on a more permanent basis?

Show me evidence that this is not true.

All countries that have joined the alliance over the past 20 years have experienced serious pressure, ”Oberg added.

The activist also said he was "horrified" that 80 to 90% of the media support NATO.

“This is an intellectual and moral disarmament.

These are people who know too little and are driven by panic, ”summed up the interlocutor of RT.

On May 15, the Finnish government made a formal decision to apply for membership in NATO.

On the same day, the ruling Social Democratic Workers' Party of Sweden also officially decided to apply for membership in the alliance.
