Putin's ultimate strategic failure...the Muscovites are now effectively contained in the Baltic Sea.

I can’t wait for NATO to collapse. Let us all pray it happens soon.

The survival of the Republic and American Constitutional Government depends on destruction of this hideous globalist woke institution.

It is sad that NOTO countries have all gone to trash on such a “momentous” occasion. They are just like who they claim to hate the most except they are far worse in their embrace of rampant abortions and homo perversions.

It’s the good half.

The last of the EU nations to replace their aging military equipment and billing Ukraine for the upgrade to next gen equipment.

Gotta love these cynical bastards who profit in spilled blood.

Color Revolution. Kill all the natives. Sell off the value of the country. No one left to sue the West for rapping Ukraine.

The royalty of europe and the globalists love killing off their populations.

Now that they are no longer neutral maybe they will lift the arms embargo against the US that has been in place since the early 70’s.

Swedes make some cool firearms, but you cant get them here.

They still have Kaliningrad, but even that is slipping away from them. There is speculation that Putin will invade Lithuania in order to secure Kaliningrad and split the Baltic States off from the rest of Nato. It could happen, but if so, then the Putin=Hitler analogy will be in high gear. Also, I suspect they’d be unable to take Lithuania. They might end up just losing Kaliningrad in the process.

They have more to worry about from China anyway.

Nah. Ain’t going to matter, meanwhile Sweden, who couldn’t be bothered to fight Hitler, manages to screw up the courage to fight Putin, who isn’t fighting them.

Stupid move.

What a shame. NATO needs all of Denmark! And that’s because Denmark “punches above its weight”. That’s something Obama said about Denmark back when he was president.

The Danes were flattered…until someone pointed out that slime-ball Obama said the same thing about many countries.

Agree..NATO is a shell of itself using big USA to support and protect. If Putin is smart, he will keep his Ukrainian gains and sit pretty till something else needs to done. Meanwhile he can rearm and wait for any other invasion to come from outsiders....Ukraine (eastern half) seems to be done.IMHO.

What is the front doink? Is the front headed towards Kiev? Why, yes it is. Just ask Icky Viki Nuland about the progress that spurred her retirement.

All of those egg-starved RuZZZZians are pissed!

It looks way less likely to collapse now than it did in 2021. Putin put vigorous new life in it.

And how is it a globalist woke institution? By that standard all institutions everywhere are globalist and woke, so you are at war, apparently, with everyone and everything everywhere. Seems difficult.
