HonNL:
Sweden has decided to follow neighboring Finland and apply for NATO membership, ending more than 200 years of military nonalignment because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, officials said Monday.

Get ready to be frozen!

Frozen how? The country has already replaced the small amount of electricity imported from Russia and the Sweden only imported 8% of natural gas used yearly from Russia. Swedish leaders have been preparing and planning for this day in all ways imaginable. This wasn’t a hasty decision

When you continue to be a bully, the oppressed will eventually stand up and face their fears.

Same will soon be the case for Christians in Nigeria who have constantly been the major targets of oppression, religious killings and marginalisation in Nigeria.

The tables will soon turn.

There's no more monolithic north - Fulani herdsmen have destroyed once united north. From Plateau to Taraba, Benue to Kaduna, Zamfara to places the media doesn't report, the marauders have killed people in their numbers, thus shattering the bonds that used to tie them together.

If not, imagine that northerners were attacked in the East and West and the volatile north kept quiet without retaliating. Just three things are still keeping them together - interest in Niger Delta oil, corruption and religious (Islamic) sentiments. They cannot fight together again.

How did NATO abandon Ukraine when Ukraine has never been a member of NATO? The NATO countries are going above and beyond by supplying them with weapons as acts of goodwill because they aren’t entitled to get help. Do you even understand how the alliance works?

You have no idea of the military capabilities of NATO.


If you want to see hardcore military guys that looks like terminator I urge you to check up NATO.

You speak like a novice over 1000 nuclear missiles can be launched at once by Russia and even the USA. What will be the difference is who gets hitted first and who has countermeasures against it. The only countermeasures against a nuclear missile in flight is to disarm the nuclear warhead it via satellite hacking when that happens there will be no nuclear explosion when nuclear missile gets to its destination. Russia has military grade hackers same with the USA.

Putin, what have you achieved? By his foolish action, NATO has expanded by adding new members, Russia economy is nose diving, Russia is a pariah state, Russia is weakened militarily and economically, Russia's army is exposed as a big joke.

Putin is tired of the war, and looking for a way to exit it without a disgrace. US and other westerners are having good laugh.

Sweden and Finland will strengthen NATO alliance. Shame on you , Mr Hitler wannabe, Putin.

Its a nuclear weapon country... There is no such thing as encircle... unless they can bear the consequences. Russia has the most number of nuclear arsenal in the world (6500nukes)

Most of the nukes are inoperable. Also, it is not the number of nukes you have that matters, it is the delivery mechanism. US has the most precision guided nuclear capable military assets.

A responsible nation doesn't use nuclear capabilities to boast. Have you heard any of the NATO members boasting . If Putin wants a war, he knows what to do - just hit Poland by an inch, then sit back and enjoy "chum chin chum"�

Wow

Seems Europe is about to change forever...

Putin is a goat

What if this was the plan of the West all along ?
This should be a real casestudy in any international relations course globally..Putin walked into a trap. As it stands Russia is so weàkned.. both from a military perspective and from an economical perspective. Right now Russia can't with stand a war with ordianry India in her current state..

Putin took the bait and slipped up big time. Just imagine if suddenly a country like Iran decides to attack Russia... All her forces are spread thin in Ukraine, there are no reinforcements coming the only thing Putin will use to threaten Iran is nukes but guess what? Iran has nukes too. grin

N true no. By now even Putin knows he walked into this trap..when last did you hear him threaten anyone unlike before? Because he knows that now if he threatens ordiany India they may call.his bluff and tell him oga wetin you go do?

Nothing anyone will tell me, this was a trap.. for years we have seen USA wage war with Iran, Iraq , Afghanistan, Syria , Taliban, Alqaeda , etc.

Russia hasn't fought a war since world war 2. . Ordianry their first try see as Ukraine burst their lip grin

This is why anyone who has a titale of alagbara don't go and fight him thinking he is overrated o. So wait forget nukes because everyone has them even India... So this is the military might that Putin has been threatening the west with for years?

Kai egbon Putin.. Oti tu zeh ni... Make Russia just humble for the next 20 years because any country they annoy go just decide oya make we fight war ... What is shocking is Ukraine hasn't fired weapons at Russia yet o.. yet Russia couldn't win
..

Kai
Russia has not fought any war since Ww2? What were they doing in Afghanistan, Georgia and lately Syria

Putin is humbled already. He was threatening fire and brimstone if Sweden and Finland made attempt to be NATO members. Now, he is gentle and subdued.

US sets him a trap and Putin walks into it. Russia frozen billions will also be used to rebuild Ukraine. Putin is quite foolish.

Learn nuclear missiles can be hacked, disarmed even in flight after launch or hacked and directed to another direction. NATO and Russia has that capabilities.

Extremely silly. These nearby countries will face the fate of Ukraine is there is a war. Attacking them will be so easy. With what is going on, Russia will triple its weapon production. Waiting for the evil day when it is banter for banter.
