As for the "why should they care," I think the fact that we're bound by treaty to defend the Baltics and Scandinavian countries in the event of an attack, and they already perceive themselves as threatened, is a pretty obvious reason. But not obvious to everyone. I mean, I don't share the isolationist urge in the case of Ukraine at all, so I'm asking these questions to understand what other people are thinking. I get that a large part of it is just not caring.
