Swedes have a bad track record when it comes to aiding neighbors in need, true, and this might not change since (afaik) they have no actual defence obligation towards anyone. I still think they’d contribute with what little they currently have to spare, however, because of Nordic solidarity which has developed over the years.

That said, considering that Finland has one of the largest armies (counting manpower, tanks, artillery, SAM systems etc.) in Europe, and how the stronger SU struggled against it at a point it was much weaker during the Winter War, I actually doubt that Russia could actually take it. At least not without leaving itself extremely vulnerable in other sectors. 

As for Estonia, yes, Germans, Norwegians, Spanish etc. etc. will fight and die to defend it and/or take it back should Russia invade, and we are already stationing forces there (if not very not large forces, but again that's due to the sorry state of our current forces which should be rectified) as well as the other Baltic countries to show them that we mean business.

What an inconsistent babble. We were talking of a possible EU militia, not of NATO. 

It's not like Norway would lift a finger for Europe without NATO.
