Sweden officially joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Thursday, a historic shift that highlights how Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is transforming European security in ways he may not have foreseen.
At a meeting in Washington, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson deposited the final paperwork with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the last step needed for the former militarily nonaligned nation to become NATO’s 32nd member. Sweden’s neighbor, Finland, joined last year.
To justify his aggression in Ukraine, Putin cited the possibility of NATO expansion. Now, in one of the conflict’s many twists, his war has brought a bigger, stronger alliance to his door. Russia will have to live with the consequences for years.
“There is no clearer example today of the strategic debacle that Ukraine has become for Russia,” said Blinken Thursday, standing beside an elated Kristersson.
“Everything that Putin sought to prevent, he has actually precipitated by his actions, by his aggression.”

What Nookie Haley doink?
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.
Only half of Denmark is in NATO?
“Only half of Denmark is in NATO?”
It’s the good half.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
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.
> Only half of Denmark is in NATO? <
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.
But they couldn't keep Saab alive.

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.
and Northern Ireland isn’t in NATO
