I don't make friends with Russian bots. Their IQ is smaller than an atom

Doubt there is anyone here from the troll farms in St Peterburg.

Plus, people support Russia, largely in part because they do not want a unipolar world....where the USA dictates to everyone, and tells everyone to do what they think is 'right'.

(It does not make big nations invading small nations the right thing...Russia, and US invasions inclusive)

All the threats from Vladimir Putin has failed to deter Finland and Sweden.


This Putin is still living in the past, this is 21st century, you don't just bully countries anyhow and expect them to embrace you.

The same reason Taiwan is seeking stronger ties with US instead of its neighbour China
Keep fooling yourselves you brainwashed with Western media propaganda and America ass licking.
Taiwan is in China and Taiwan is part of china whether anything likes it or not.
USA will dare not engage china on Taiwan issue, dem no born USA well

Way to go
End of Russia is near if there try rubbish.lets see how there gonna fight three country at a time.finland, Sweden and Ukraine
Finland and Sweden will already be safe from any Russian aggression once they become part of NATO. Russia attacked Ukraine because they weren't in NATO. That's something I'll blame the duo of Germany and France that opposed Ukraine's move to become part of NATO. Otherwise we won't be witnessing what's happening today in Ukraine.

Though the last time Russia attacked Finland, the finnish handed them a very generous defeat let alone now they are about becoming part of NATO........a force that holds over 50% of global military hardwares with members whose economies are super robust.

The truth is that Russia doesn't even have the resources to be a world superpower. They've only been able to manage proceeds from the sale of natural resources to help them maintain a massive military they inherited from the defunct Soviet Union, leaving much of her population in poverty.
Most rich western countries have far more resources to build not only a much larger force than Russia's but one that's better trained and maintained(Italy alone has twice the spending power of Russia).
They just prefer to rest in the safety net of NATO which is better for them.

It's only China that can measure up as a superpower to a good extent. One China is actually 10 Russias and even at a better level.

US has gotten more than 840km border with Russia now, all thanks to putin's lack of diplomacy. Both has ICBM, ICBM traveling at Mach 5 can destroy Russia under 5minutes because it won't need to travel thousands of miles again. This is called check mate. U guys should think
And in your warped lopsided analogy you didn't think that the closeness also means Russia shares the same 840km border to respond to the same threat via icbms. Just posting rubbish without thinking it through. There would be no winner in a US vs Russia war due to MAD

STOCKHOLM -- Sweden on Tuesday signed a formal request to join NATO, a day after the country announced it would seek membership in the 30-member military alliance. In neighboring Finland, lawmakers are expected later in the day to formally endorse Finnish leaders’ decision also to join.

The moves by the two Nordic countries, ending Sweden’s more than 200 years of military nonalignment and Finland’s nonalignment after World War II, have provoked the ire of the Kremlin.

While most NATO members are keen to welcome the two countries as quickly as possible, Turkey has potentially complicated their accession by saying it cannot allow them to become members because of their perceived inaction against exiled Kurdish militants.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday doubled down on comments last week indicating that the two Nordic countries´ path to NATO would be anything but smooth. All 30 current NATO countries must agree to open the door to new members. He accused the two Nordic countries of refusing to extradite “terrorists” wanted by his country.

In Stockholm, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde signed the formal request to join the Alliance, which she said would be sent to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg

“It feels like we have taken a decision that is the best for Sweden,” she said while signing the document.

Finnish President Sauli Niinisto arrived in Sweden for an official two-day visit and was welcomed by Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, who had invited him. Niinisto addressed Sweden's Parliament and said, “we took peace for granted; on Feb. 24 the peace was broken,” in a reference to the date that Ukraine was invaded by Russia.

“Our old ways of handling things no longer correspond to the new situation," Niinisto told Swedish lawmakers.“ Our relations with Russia have changed."

He also spoke about Erdogan's comments, saying they were “surprising and interesting.”

“Turkey’s statements have changed and toughened very quickly in recent days, but I am sure that we will resolve the situation with the help of constructive talks,” Niinisto said.

He is later to meet Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson.

On Twitter, Niinisto said that “the timing is excellent, a strong and stable Nordic region is our common cause.”

During a brief press conference, Carl XVI Gustaf said "the visit is characterized by the serious situation in our vicinity.” Niinisto added that “our security policy line has long been similar and even now, when the situation demands it, we take our steps together.”

Diplomacy will be used to make Turkey see the reason for Sweden and Finland to join Nato. Finland and Sweden may have to compromise to appease Turkey.

But just know that Sweden and Finland will be admitted into NATO. The odds are against Turkey. Out of 30 countries, only Turkey is against Sweden and Finland joining Nato.

Thanks for your point of view

Turkey is alone in this and their reason is a selfish one and has nothing to do with Russia. They are instead talking about the Khurdish people of Turkey being accepted in Finland and Sweden

That can be easily diplomatically resolved
