I think the title oversimplifies things. Ukraine wasn't just an eastward advance of the Western Bloc, it was one accomplished by backing the Euromaidan revolution against the Russian-aligned government.
Sweden and Finland, on the other hand, are not subverted Russian clients; they're doing this because they don't trust Russia without the security of Article Five. It's the difference between Cuba joining the USSR and a Canadian puppet government doing the same.
So Ukraine is Bay of pigs.
It's more the leading NATO players manufacturing another mujahedeen on which to break the Russian military.
As the article states, the only apparent reason to prevent Ukraine trying to sue for peace is to to run a sales pitch for Thales and Raytheon, as manufacturers of the Starstreak and NLAW for Thales and the Stinger and Javelin for Raytheon, and to see just how badly it's possible to attrit the Russian military before China assesses them as an easier target than us.
Ukrainian nationalism.
Zelensky was suspected being a secret Russian puppet by them, they won't take it easy if he really becomes one (in their eyes). There won't be a peace, just a civil war, and way worse than the one in Ireland (that was already worse then the Irish war of independence that preceded it). Or the complete chaos like in Chechnya 1996-1999 (radicals making trouble after a peace treaty again), before the Russian tanks came back. It's not Georgia 2008, it's more like Georgia in the early 1990s.
