If a political party came to power in Finland or Sweden outside the normal electoral process and decided to align the country with Russia, would the EU and the USA call them usurpers and terrorists and start military intervention to liberate Finland or Sweden? Or would they not?

The only one who started the military intervention here is russia.

russia attacked Ukraine.

Ukrainians had enough of kremlin puppets.

This is relevant how?

I asked about a hypothetical scenario: would the USA violently suppress a Pro-Russia Party of Finland. That seems to have caused a crash and you fell back to your default rhetoric.

No. Vatnik said:

> Just to clarify: the "we" who would like to join is a government that was installed by the USA in a coup. What kind of "attacking and oppressing" happened before the coup?

And the Yank said that only the US of A gets to have anything to do with geopolitics because "we are just better that's why". Oh, and "because all my life I've been told Russians are evil".

Putin is unfortunately right, you understand only one kind of argument.

Living in a country that was occupied by russians and gets constant threats by russians to be invaded again. Being in NATO and EU is the best available security guarantee.

No one needs to tell me russians are evil. It’s just something you pick up living next to russia.

Also your threat “putin was right” proves that you are, in fact, evil.

It's more about frustration with hypocrisy than being evil. When your friends kill in Gaza - "that's different", that's freedom, it's for democracy. It's not like the West shies away from cruelty when advancing its interests. You just choose to be blind to the brutality, that's all.
No, USA doesn't violently suppress Orban or Fritz.
