A mock invasion of Sweden and Norway has been carried out by 33,000 Russian troops, a US security think tank has claimed.

Tens of thousands of soldiers rehearsed a military takeover of Swedish and Norwegian territory near the Baltic Sea in March, security expert Edward Lucas said in a report for the US-based Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA).

The exercise also simulated the invasion of other areas including the Danish island of Bornholm, Finland's Swedish-speaking Åland islands, and northern Norway, according to the report, The Coming Storm.

I don’t know if this is a big deal or not. Every major military power has played games to invade other countries. It’s all part of good strategization.

Given what the Scandis have been doing for the last few Decades, i'm thinking a Russian Takeover would be a stay of execution.

One thing you can say about the Russians is that they are not going to fall for that stupid Politically correct bullsh*t like the Scandis.

You want a laugh? Take a look at the people on "Sweden's most Wanted".

Yeah, they sure look Swedish, don't they?

Neither Finland nor Sweden could be bothered to join NATO, so as long as the Russians steer clear of Norway I guess they have a free shot.

Putin, quit that stuff. We’re busy with “marrying” homos and tearing down Confederate flags. Can’t you wait until we’re done with our ride on the Hope and Change Happy Train?

Yeah, you never know when those militant Scandinavians will organize and launch an invasion of Mother Russia. Got to be prepared.

Russia is 10% Muslim now and their most wanted list almost certainly takes on a similar flavor given their problems in the Caucusus.

Russia is evil, and they are between 14 and 18% Muslim.

The difference in this case, is that the Russians are currently invading a European nation, with the goal of forming empire.

Well, at least they weren't invading a Tunisian resort like some folks of theirs.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-33287978

At least 37 people, mostly tourists, are killed in an attack on a beach in the Tunisian resort town of Sousse, the health ministry says.

Russkies are the Muslims of the slavic world. They riot every time a Lenin statue is taking down somewhere, and they celebrate diversity by cutting off people's heads and posting them on their version of facebook, as they do in Eastern Ukraine.

You do not want rabid Russkies occupying your territory.

Keep rehearsing, Vlad. The last time you guys tried that, you won enough territory to bury your dead, and not much more.

Good. You know what, I don’t give a damn. Scandinavia has already been invaded by Islamists. Better that Putin controls Europe than ISIS. Then maybe he can turn a tank barrel to our vile 5 justices on the Supreme Court.

I’ve said at least part of that here in the last year:

“Better that Putin controls Europe than ISIS.”

It’s better for them, plus, I’m trying to remember just what this country owes Sweden or Finnland. Our vital interests include access to Volvo parts? I don’t think so, but Putin would probably sell us what we needed, anyway.

But the question is moot, anyway. Does anyone think BHO will go to war to protect Scandinavia?

Was it Sweden or Norway that kicked them in the rear in World War 2?

I just honestly don’t see why people care. It’s the old NeoCon wing who maybe still think we’re the same world powers from the Reagan administration. Ukraine breaks free from Russian influence... first thing that happens... Gay Pride parade in Kiev. And I’m supposed to be for this sh^^?

No, run the tanks over them.
