Our biggest threat comes from Washington DC.

Finnish military don’t matter.

From The Telegraph:

“Opinion polls suggest that 40 per cent of Finns oppose joining Nato, with 26 per cent in favour.”

I’m not saying you’re right, even though I hope the same as you outline for both Finland and Sweden to move even closer to NATO, because it would demonstrate to the Russians that their aggression is counterproductive to their objectives.

But this is only wishful thinking at this point.

A vast majority of the British public supported the Munich agreement in September 1938, but after the invasion of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 UK public opinion changed drastically, and Britain made it’s fateful guarantee to Poland.

If the Finns watch Putin seize Ukraine and still think they are immune to invasion, I guess they deserve whatever happens to them.

“but Moscow is also making clear that it objects to Sweden and Finland, nations that were not part of the USSR, joining the alliance.”

No one in Sweden or Finland would seriously think about joining NATO If “Moscow” wasn't doing what it does. And the whole “constant pressure due to NATO expansion”... well, over the last 13 years they added Montenegro, a micro country in Balkans. KGB dudes will simply demand more and more, at some point they might say that giving Alaska back is a matter of “life and death”. They simply decided to re-launch the cold war. Why ? Because otherwise average Ivan might start scratching his head thinking that even in Soviet times they didn't use to keep the same guy at the top for that long.

Great points about red China.

Sometimes, I think even maybe we shouldn’t give them more money, send secret illegal bio-weapons research, or EVEN not send our military to their track meet.

And for extra credit, when Germans are trying to lord over what goes on in the exact locations of eastern front battlefields, you know something has gone off the rails.

“And for extra credit, when Germans are trying to lord over what goes on in the exact locations of eastern front battlefields, you know something has gone off the rails.”

Majority of German politicians can be divided into two groups. Those that “understand Russia” and those that take orders directly from the KGB.

Germans and Euros need to stay in their own borders and STFU about anywhere else on earth. They have done more than enough damage outside their borders with their empire mentality.

By your logic, Sweden should have joined the Allies in WWII when the Nazis took control of Norway.

But they didn’t.

The Swedes facilitated the Nazi invasion of Norway by allowing German troop trains to transit Sweden https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2154901/Neutral-Sweden-allowed-Nazis-use-railways-occupy-Norway—transfer-Jews-death-camps-new-book-claims.html , and at the time it certainly looked like Germany was winning the war. So your comment makes little sense to me.

Subsequently Sweden has suffered a national guilt complex over their collaboration with the Nazis, and that may be one of the subconscious motivations for their destroying their country with Muslim immigration.
