Sweden and Finland Formally Invited to Join NATO
CNS News ^ | June 29, 2022 | James Carstensen

Posted on 06/29/2022 6:44:43 PM PDT by BeauBo

NATO leaders meeting in Madrid issued a formal invitation to Finland and Sweden to become members, after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine prompted the two to end decades of military non-alignment and seek accession...

Joining NATO marks a significant shift for both countries.

Sweden would end more than 200 years of non-alignment, while Finland, which shares an 810 mile border with Russia, would end a policy of neutrality adopted as a Soviet-imposed condition of peace following World War Two.

The process to finalize now requires ratification by all 30 current allies. That could take months, but the alliance stressed that “the security of Finland and Sweden is of direct importance to the Alliance, including during the accession process.”

“Putin isn’t down with the NWO. Are you?”

I lost interest in World Championship Wrestling with the advent of the NWO. I can understand Putin not caring for them, either. Putin strikes me as more of a West Texas Rednecks kind of guy.

“Have you hung out with Chechens before?”

I suppose you could call it that, yes.

“I believe they’re the scariest people on Earth.”

The Gurkhas own that title. Trust me on this

Yes , but the Gurkha are not trying to behead you for the glory of Allah .........

Gurkhas are mostly from Nepal but they can be found in India, Bhutan, and also in the wilds of Northwest London.

People who use their fingers to wipe their butts are animals
—————-
Well, being left handed, my time training Saudis in Taif was an eye opener, they eat with their right hand, and wash with their left. That is why when they chop hands off for stealing, they chop the right hand off, they can no longer sit and eat with the men ( using their left hand- washing hand) …..being lefty when I shook hands it was naturally with my right hand which was my wiping hand….and “ wiping “ is not correct. There was no toilet paper, there was a hose to wash and rinse.

"Have you hung out with Chechens before? I have not as I believe they’re the scariest people on Earth."
Its something worldwide. The scariest are those who quietly take care of business, then go back to whatever they were doing before a "disruption", and just stay silent afterwards . One of them just passed away, a Medal of Honor winner from WWII.

Something tells me the "noisy" are getting those scary types aroused.

Gotcha.

One correction, he was awarded the CMOH.
One doesn’t win it, as it isn’t a baking contest.

That’s a paraphrase from someone that I can’t remember who said it…

“This is clearly a victory for Putin in furthering his dream of a Soviet Russia.”

Then he has nothing to complain about, and should give up invading his neighbors.

They can pay up all of their dues backdated to when NATO began.

Shouldn’t they pay back dues since they have benefited from NATO all these years and paid nothing for it?

NWO = New World Order but you probably know that

UN/WHO/DEMS/WEF/NATO = NWO and the end of every nation’s sovereignty but you’re probably ok with that.

The two countries mentioned already train with the huge expensive alliance called NATO.

They’ll be two more deadbeats sucking the tit of Uncle Sugar.(With Free Republic approval)

Free Republic interventionist morons approve every move Democrat Washington DC does.

They’re puppets that spew nonsense, they also think like liberals but call themselves conservatives.

I’ve long been an advocate of providing phones and weapons to Christian villages throughout Africa, and analyzing satellite images to warn then when Islamists were marching.

I think we don’t arm them now because of international agreements. But those anti-gun agreements are getting people killed by machetes.

Finland and Sweden are both pro WEF which is the same as UN/WHO/NATO aka NWO

what a load of crap

Sweden and Finland want to survive ... so obviously they feel the best protection against Russia invading them is to join NATO

so that leaves Ukraine as the only country on Russia's border that isn't in NATO? Well done Vlad!

All of the Ukie cheerleaders are backing the New World Order.

There is some overlap among those who favor amnesty and those who oppose upholding the Natural born citizen clause.

All of which undermine the sovereignty of the USA.

That has always puzzled me. If you chop a man’s hand off, does it matter which side? The remaining hand is the wiping hand by necessity, regardless of cultural tradition. If they chopped off the left hand, would the man be allowed to eat with other men?

If we can talk Mongolia into joining, we’ll really have Putin surrounded.
