Sweden & Finland Warn Prepare for War

War Sweden & Finland Warn Prepare for War Sweden & Finland Warn Prepare for War Posted Nov 19, 2024 By Martin Armstrong |

SPREAD THE LOVE Sweden wants war

All the European leaders wanted war desperately so they could (1) try to hold together the failing Eurozone and (2) end up with an excuse to default on their debts. The average Russian, European, American, Canadian, Japanese, and Chinese are uninterested in war. The average person wants to get along and deal with everyday life. Sweden and Finland are telling their people to prepare for war. There is nobody in power even saying, let’s talk this out – NOBODY!

Germany and Finland launched a probe Monday after an undersea cable linking the countries was severed, warning of the threat of “hybrid warfare” amid heightened tensions with Russia. The USA blew up the NordStream Pipeline, and Germany turned off the gas from NordStream 2 on the orders of the American Neocons, subjecting the German people to much higher gas prices. There is no question now that the war chanting from countries’ foreign ministers said in a joint statement they were “deeply concerned” by the cutting off the communications link through the Baltic Sea, where tensions have increased since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for war

Meanwhile, last Friday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz urged the Russian leader to withdraw his armed forces from Ukraine and negotiate a peace agreement with Kiev. You have to wonder if he is drinking too much. Vladimir Putin replied that any agreement would have to take account of “new territorial realities.” That was the Minsk Agreement that the people in the Donbas were Russian – not Ukrainian.

Trade _Unions _House - Odessa on May 2, 2014_

Zelensky has outlawed their language and their religion, and what started this was the massacre of Russians in Odesa in 2014, where they burned Russians alive as soon as the Ukrainians won their revolution. The West is not interested in peace. They have done nothing but promote this war from the outset.

Yugoslavia broke up according to ethnic lines. Is it worth the destruction of Europe to want war with Russia? It did not work out very well for Napoleon or Hitler. In 2014, I warned that Ukraine should have been broken up according to its ethnic lines.

Let’s get real here. If Russia walked out, the Ukrainians would slaughter the Russians that live there. The ethnic hatred goes back centuries. This is the same crisis in the Middle East. It is also not about land and more than this Ukrainian war. It is an ethnic view that goes back centuries. There is no living together. That seems to work for only brief moments in history.

Nuremberg_trial _Goering_

When Herman Goring was asked how did the Nazis get the people to support the war, he answered straightforwardly, but nobody wanted to believe. He said that was easy. It was Stanley Milgrim who tested what Goring said and found it to be correct.

Stanley wrote his conclusion in Obedience to Authority. Most were outraged because they did not want to believe that society could be so easily manipulated. It’s worth the read.

Nations if they want peace.

Should always be prepared for war.

A strong defense is a good deterrent.

Sweden and Finland would be stupid not to prepare for war. Putin made his intentions clear years ago...they both have a lot more experience with Russians than Armstrong does.

Greta Thurnberg’s army is coming for us since we ignored their big Climate Change shindig.

The irony is that if they had stayed neutral like Switzerland they could just be sitting with popcorn and watching without any concern of being dragged into a major war. The genius of the “elites” strikes again! /s

Started long before 2014, too.
I doubt that Ukrainians forgot about the genocide of millions.

Also a good deterrent is staying out of stupid crap and minding your own business. Sweden was well over a century and Finland was 80 years out of the war business and had functioning national models.
Now their feminist and beta male leaders have managed to flood Sweden with Africans and moslems. Grenade and bomb attacks happen daily. Women are certain to be molested, groped and raped if they walk the formerly peaceful streets.

And now, both countries have managed to push their way into a war. Sweden was able to stay out of WWII. But couldn’t avoid Ukraine.

A solid defense is half the equation for peace. The other half is avoiding alliances and strife that does not involve your own people.

We are only alive because Putin allows us to be. Why haven’t we surrendered to him yet? Better to be a live slave than die a free man.

No worries. Since ancient Rome we have had the adage, “if you want peace, prepare for war.”

Given Finland’s history with Russia taking over part of their territory in WW2, Finland should have prepared for war the minute Russia began war with Ukraine.

This article is so riddled with fallacies and even outright lies as to not be worth refuting, sentence by sentence - but with regards to the above statement: It doesn't matter what the "average Russian" wants. Russia is now a dictatorship, and Putin wanted and wants war.

Regards,

Yeah, just like during their last encounter with the Russians (Soviets): The Finns got 10% of their territory stolen when the Soviets invaded, while the Swedes were forced to walk a geopolitical tightrope to avoid being invaded by the Soviets' ally, Nazi Germany.

The situation back then was admittedly quite complicated - but the Scandinavians have obviously learned their lesson well: You can't trust Ivan.

At some point, US neocons will realize - it was a nice 30 year run, but its now a multi-polar world, again.

The sweep of world history, just reverting back to the mean.

The Soviets will sweep across Europe!

Don’t you feel any shame at pulling out this old, 70 year-old stupidity? Don’t you guys have anything else?

Sweden should have been bombed to dust during WWII. They were the primary supplier of iron ore to Germany.

This is idiotic. Russia isn’t attacking Sweden or Finland.

Sweden wants a war? They can’t protect their own people from the “refugees” they took in. That goes for a lot of European states. I think they should be careful what they wish for.

I know zeepers live in the past and don’t understand that Russia under Putin is not the same as the USSR under Stalin. Thanks for confirming that. The fact is there is zero objective basis for imagining that Putin has hostile designs on Finland or Sweden. His focus throughout his administration has consistently been on protecting Russians from mistreatment up to the level of genocide, as in the case of the attacks on Russians in eastern Ukraine. You are siding with the worst of the bad actors in this mess.
