NATO Refuses to Guarantee Non-Deployment of Nuclear Weapons in Sweden and Finland

NATO refuses to give Russia guarantees not to deploy nuclear weapons in Sweden and Finland if they join the alliance. This was stated by Assistant Secretary General of the alliance Camille Grand, RTS reports.

When Grand was asked about any guarantees of non-deployment of nuclear weapons in Sweden and Finland, he said that each NATO member country decides "sovereignly" on the issue of nuclear weapons. "Every state has the freedom in the nuclear sphere, and is willing to accept or not to accept weapons. It is not about setting limits", he added.

The politician was also asked whether NATO expects a "military reaction" or a "show of force" from Russia in response to the entry of Finland and Sweden into the alliance. He answered that the Russians themselves consider this not necessary, and that he doesn't think it would be justified. At the same time, the Assistant Secretary General of NATO argued that Finland and Sweden have a "defensive position of peaceful states that do not seek confrontation with Russia".

Grand also expressed his hope that the disagreements between Turkey, Sweden and Finland would be settled by the summit. "NATO has its own way of dealing with the problem of terrorism. The Turks make more political demands on Finland", he noted.

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the country's position on the question of expanding NATO and joining the alliance of Sweden and Finland will not change without fulfilling Ankara's demands. According to him, for a membership in the North Atlantic bloc, countries must stop supporting terrorism, lift sanctions against Turkey, and also show allied solidarity.

So will this be another unprovoked attack when Russia moves to protect itself?

First let Russia guarantee non-deployment of military forces in Ukraine.

NATO — the “non-aggressive” alliance which bombed Serbia for 78 days — is expansionist in the sense of “empire” just as much as many say Russia is expansionist. This is the Cuban missile crisis redux, and an unnecessary provocation. Sweden and Finland are now discardable pawns in a game far larger than they believe. With the advent of the European Union’s call for its own military command authority, it seems that the EUSSR is forming right under the noses of the unsuspecting.

Give a guarantee that is as solid as Russia’s guarantee not to invade Ukraine.

It is <1 mile from St Petersburg to the Baltic where NATO nuclear subs can operate.

Won’t be an attack. If Ukraine was in NATO the Russians would not have attacked there either. This is the purpose of a defensive alliance and exactly why Norway and Sweden are joining. Putin miscalculated badly if he thought that attacking a sovereign neighbor would prevent other sovereign neighbors from joining a defensive alliance.

Russian tv stooges should remember this the next time they make threats. A nato nuclear weapon could be placed not far from their studio.

That's like saying you aren't stupid enough to post that.
