Russia invaded Ukraine supposedly over not wanting NATO on their border but then did utterly nothing when Finland joined NATO. Proving that NATO membership had little to do with why Russia invaded Ukraine.

Up next: Sweden to join NATO followed by Austria and Switzerland.

I guess it saddens you that Russia hasn’t attacked Finland yet. You and William Kristol should go have a drink and console one another.

This reminds me of how criminal Ponzi schemes end; get the suckers in before the entire mess all collapses.

Seriously? This isn’t a game of ‘Chicken’. There’s no doubt the Biden admin put together this provocative move because Ukraine isn’t fairing well.

Is there a history of ‘Russians’ in these other countries being abused? I don’t believe so.

It said Finland's move marks "a fundamental change in the situation in Northern Europe, which had previously been one of the most stable regions in the world.”

This is ridiculous. Russia destabilized the world by invading Ukraine. Finland is merely reacting.

Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Everything is going according to plan. Putin is pulling NATO into a trap. Any day now, Russia will take Backmut and then everything will fall into place. You can look it up. The Battle of Backmut was the true turning point of WWII. Napoleon was defeated at Backmut. Lenin stayed through the winter of 1917 at Backmut and then defeated the White Russians. Backmut is the source of the strength of the Cossacks, and also the Vikings and the Golden Horde. Attila the Hun knew the secret of this strength, and did Tamerlane, Ghengis Khan, and both Richard the Lionhart and Saladin. Once Putin gains Backmut, no force will be able to resist him. And, so, Putin has traitors like Finland reveal themselves at this time so there will be no question of justice when he takes his revenge.

I know you wouldn’t mind if Cuba and Mexico joined the Russian Federation and started arming them to the teeth.

“”The Russian Federation will be forced to take military-technical and other retaliatory measures to counter the threats to our national security arising from Finland’s accession to NATO,” the Foreign Ministry warned in a statement.”

What are they going to do that they couldn’t already do and walk afterwards, make bad faces? And I don’t think Russia wishes to cut off their noses to spite their faces.

The numbers on the graph are inconsistent with the actual description below it.

exactly, the whole Ukraine NATO thing was just a piss poor excuse by Putin to invade Ukraine and try to reassemble the old soviet union.

Of course not. Russia needs Ukraine to remain viable economically and militarily, and will make up whatever excuse its needs to in order to justify this invasion

With that said, Russia is not suicidal enough to expand their invasion, and WE GAVE THEM HE GREEN LIGHT TO INVADE UKRAINE WHEN WE ALLOWED THEM TO VIOLATE THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM IN 2014

So yes Putin is evil, but we have no reason to now be involved in a conflict we were legally obligated to stop when they annexed the Crimea, nor does it make any sense to defend on corrupt government against another, especially when alienating Russia is a far greater threat to Global stability since this will create a new Russia-China power axis .

So what else is new? You expect anything different in the globalists’ new Cold War II arms race? Unlax, this is just the beginning. This will be ongoing until WWIII, sans the proxies, begins.

Wagner... We have captured Bakhmut...

Yahoo News... "Fighting raged in and around Bakhmut as Ukraine mocked Russian claims to have captured the 'administrative' center of the eastern Ukrainian city, saying Russian forces had raised a victory flag over "some kind of toilet"."

Well, you know, a wise man once said “don’t start none, won’t be none”.

If Russia did not keep invading its neighbors then maybe there would not be so much interest in joining NATO.
