In Ukraine, the War is still ongoing and Ukrainian Officials just confirmed that "Russia is taking Village and Village, though their advance is slow but Certain". I have quoted it Verbatim.
Does that sound like Russia is tired/defeated?

Yesterday, Russia paraded about 1700 Ukrainian Special Forces, (Battalion 34th and 36th) and the "crack" Azov Battalions that it Captured and they SURRENDERED. It was on many TV Stations, (including our own ARISE NEWS) though CNN refuse to carry it so that it can continue to fool Americans that Ukraine is "fighting and advancing" against Russia.
Does that sound like a defeated or tired Army?

About HALF of all GAZPROM Customers (European Countries that put Sanctions on Russian Energy) have OPENED RUBLE Bank Accounts as of today! Italy just said it would take far longer than it thought, to win itself off Russian Energy (meaning, paying in Ruble is Game! ).
Does that look like a Russia that is crippled and tired?

The Russian Currency has gained FIVE TIMES its Pre-War Value, as of TODAY and still increasing, while Europe and America are steeped in spiraling Inflation, due to High Energy and Food Costs! Even Baby Food is in Shortage in America, as of Today.
Does that sound like a Russia whose Economy is destroyed?

MrBiggs (of America) Business Franchise in Russia has just been BOUGHT OVER by a Russian, other Fast Foods like KFC to follow.
Does that look like Russia facing food Shortages or Economy suffering?

On Sweden and Finland:
Truth is, Russia is in a War with over "30 Countries" and it is still STANDING. It deserves respect joor.
As long as all these Countries, are supplying Weapons to Ukraine, training Ukrainian Soldiers to use them, Discretely Supplying "Contract Soldiers and Mercenaries" to Ukraine, to fight Russia, Supplying Military Intelligence to Ukraine (Troop and Weapons Movement, target Coordinates for Missiles, etc), ALL those over THIRTY COUNTRIES are in a "Pseudo War" with Russia.
It does not matter what anyone thinks or says, the FACTS is what l have stated above., Happy about it or not, is immaterial.
"Weapons and Intelligence" is what wins War of the 21st Century, not the number of Troops you station somewhere, that can be wiped out with a Missile.

No one expects Russia to start another War with Sweden, they have No Existing Dispute at the Moment.
America and Europe (NATO) are just trying to "drag" everyone around Russia into their "Orbit of Control", so it can give them advantage over Russia.
Not one of these Countries ON IT OWN, can face Russia, that is why they need to gang-Up.

Russia has done what it needs to do and what it always do: Lay Down the WARNING! Whether Sweden and Finland decide to heed it or not, is their own problem.
Any sane Country knows that it is disadvantageous, especially if you are facing threats from multiple Nations, including America, to start another War when the "Threat is not as imminent" ....... unlike the case with Ukraine.

Even America "took steps" to reduce its number of Enemies, when this War started!
For example:
- America which has put Turkey under sanctions (Sweden and Finland also did at the same time) since early last year, decided that it is not in its interest, to make Turkey an Enemy at this point, otherwise it will side with Russia! America quickly reversed all its sanctions on Turkey! It even decided to SELL the F-35 Fighter Jets it said it would not sell to Turkey before (they built it together, Turkey invested over $5Billion, Man-Power and Software into it but America just "kicked them out" because they bought Russian S-4000 Missiles!)
Now, America is the one begging Turkey. You see why it is not just only Russia that knows it limits?

- Venezuela, with the largest Oil Reserve in the World, was reduced to a poor Country, due to American Sanctions on its Oil.
It cannot Sell its oil to anyone, America also sieved its Foreign Reserve!
But due to this Russia/Ukraine War, leading to shortage of Energy World Wide, America went abegging to Venezuela and is urging it to ramp up and start exporting Oil to "American Allies" in Europe!
Na so, "Strong-Man" take calm down to small Venezuela. Why should Russia be different?

The list is endless. Even to test its Hypersonic Missile whose Tests was already scheduled before the War started and it was to take place TWO WEEKS after the War started, America POSTPONED the Test (It just did it last Monday!) because, according to it, it does not want to spook Russia and make it think it was launching a Missile at it, so that Russia will not go and RETALLIATE for something that was not intended.
That is America using its brain and "calming down" before it regrets its action.

So, for all those gloating here about Russia not invading Sweden or Finland because they applied to join NATO, sounds "somehow" to me.
I will think that we should be more objective than this, if we want to venture into discussing International Issues that are critical to everybody/
It this was in the "Romance Section" and we are catching cruise, l wont mind at all but we are talking about "WAR, Nuclear Powered Countries, Hundreds of thousands of Lives and Destinies at Stake, etc.

NB: The above are just my Opinion, for Academic Purposes only, l have No Horse in this Race.

How is the geographical location of Ukraine different from that of Finland where Russia is concerned? Do both countries not share the same border with Russia?

You Putin bots always sound stupid when you want to defend the one whose ass you so love to lick

Go and read you will not. Finland and Sweden in NATO pose no threat unless strategic missiles are deployed there. Ukraine poses a major threat due to its geographical location and Russian previous experiences with invasions. You Western BOTS will never read only get your information from CNN

Stop using Insults and foul language to convey whatever you want to say!
It does not show maturity or good Upbringing.

You have the Right to air your own Opinion, just like anyone here,
You dont have to accept what those on the other side say, and they dont have to accept yours but we all deserve a "Healthy Space" where we can learn from each other, free of these sort of Insults and Abuses that undermine whatever you are saying.
I am certain you have more important things to say, so why waste time on Insults, instead of saying those things, so other people can learn from you?

There are lot of difference between Finland/Sweden and Ukraine:
1) Russia and Ukraine are in a border dispute over Crimea, Russia does not have a border dispute with Sweden/Finland.
With Ukraine in NATO, that military Group HAS TO PHYSICALLY fight on behalf of Ukraine! That is why the Article of Association says "You cant join NATO (or even the E.U), if you are currently engage in a War with another country".

2) Sweden/Finland have friendly Relations with Russia, they have Non-Aggression treaties, Russia does not have that with Ukraine.

3) Ukraine is trying to secretly develop Nuclear Weapons. Just like Israel will not accept its neighbor, Iran develop Nuclear Weapons (Existential threats) and it still bombed them last Weekend), Russia will not allow Ukraine to develop a Nuclear bomb.
Sweden and Finland have No Interest in the Nuclear Bomb.

4) Ukraine was also developing Chemical and Biological Weapons. Finland and Sweden are not.
Russia raided the WMD Laboratories in Ukraine (they tried to destroy as much of it as possible), sieved the items and documents and presented them to the UN Security Council.
(I can bet, 90% of People commenting here have not read that Report, I have read it and have a Copy).

So, in conclusion, We cant compare Sweden/Finland joining NATO, to Ukraine trying to joing NATO, they are a World apart, when it comes to the Threat it posses to Russia.
Every Country with the Muscle to Act, will do so, if the action of its Neighbor threatens its Security.

I know a lot of People dont appreciate Russia, we dont appreciate the stability they are bringing to the table, when it comes to "Geo-Balance" in the World Order. Just like we never appreciated the USSR until it was imploded by America and then we all saw ho America was matching and inflicting War on one country after another, with No one to challenge its hegemony. But it was too late, USSR was gone already.

"Majority of the Masses cannot be trusted to take the right decisions that is best for them, that is why we have "Government and Leaders", let us just hope they are not like the Nigerians Leaders/Government.


NB: No Offense, l will be glad to read your own OPINION as well, just let it be devoid of Abuses/Insults.

Lol. So if Finland and Sweden joins NATO tomorrow, Putin will stop strategic missiles from being placed in countries that are now in NATO? Una too funny Sha

But he was raking before that there will be consequences if Finland and Sweden join Nato. What changed?

For your information, any NATO country can house Nato's strategic weapons. If Sweden and Finland joins NATO tomorrow, NATO will place strategic weapons in Finland and Sweden and nothing Russia can do about it.

Russia can't stop Finland and Sweden from joining Nato but it is after they join that Russia will stop NATO from deploying weapons in Finland and Sweden. Una too funny abeg
