Do you read international news at all? The Finland said they won’t allow NATO to deploy nuclear weapons into their territories, I think that’s understandable but when such things is compromised then you will see Russia in action

So you are trying to say that Finland is already giving NATO conditions in an alliance they are desperately begging to join?

Dont you see how senseless your comment is?

It's completely impossible for him to attack 3 countries at the same time.
He's completely defeated. He cannot stop NATO expansion. NATO is a moving train
Sometimes I wonder why you guys keep cheering NATO as if you have anything to gain from them. Do you guys even realize that the Boko Haram issue we're currently having in Nigeria is as a result of NATO's actions in Libya?

It's not about Russia tolerating Finland and Sweden. The truth is, there's nothing Russia can do about it
They've not been able to take care of Ukrain, it will only be foolhardy of them to attempt to take on Sweden and Finland. Any NATO member country will definitely have military hardwares stationed in their country, so this is just a cheap excuse to avoid a military conflict and still not appear weak. If attacking Ukrain was a business venture, Russia ventured into, it would be a bad investment. In other to stop Ukraine from joining NATO, they lost Finland and Sweden to NATO

Question: Why didn't Putin try to form his own "NATO" with his neighbours when he noticed US had started something to that effect. I guess he was more interested in dictatorship than building a team of supporters. Secondly, if we are in the same geographical area, we are good to each other. why will I want to go and join another team that is far away from me so that I can have protection?

Russia is technically defeated! About 3 months ago when Mr Putin ordered his soldiers to invade Ukraine, he also warned Finland and Sweeden that they would suffer the same fate should they attempt to join NATO. But now it's is clear that the Putin lacks the military capabilities to carry out his threats. Thanks to the US and NATO allies. Evil must never be allowed to triumph.
it's funny that you think us and NATO are not the evil here

Putin should form a military alliance with China, India and other countries and then they'll build bases in Cuba and other countries near the US.

It's not that easy, it's easier for those with great economic alliance to form military alliance than those without.

Irrespective how China and US banter each other go check their trade you will understand why US still has some leverage over China. Same applies to India and all the countries close to the US as you so asserted.

See how much US aid is heading to Ukrain, 40 billion dollars in its way there. Can Russia support her allies with such humongous figures? The best bet for Russia is to have military pact with nation's they have economic influence over, unfortunately those nation's are weak militarily. China is their best option but those guys take their economic growth as top priority above any other thing, anything that will lead to economic decline China loathes it with passion.

The USSR regime when they were among the economic super power is gone , it takes a lot of money to pull good military pact.

Finland shares a border with Russia. Ukraine was the nuclear and industrial hub of USSR, they have nuclear power. Where do you think Chernobyl is located?
The matter is simple, Putin is realizing he has bitten more than he can chew and is slowly back tracking to save face. Wars are won by alliance. Enough of the sugar coating.

Finland Sharing Border with Ukraine, is the only thig they have "in-Common" with Ukraine, aside that, they are a different situation.
What do "Alliance" provide in a War? Weapons, Intelligence and at times, Boots. That is what NATO is providing to Ukraine.

I agree with you, Ukraine was an Industrial Hub in the former USSR, it is also "one of" their Nuclear Sites (Chernobyl and one other one) but there are many more other sites in the former USSR, which are now in Russia.
Odessa in Ukraine, is also a major Maritime Hub if USSR.

Russia is "back-tracking" on WHAT? To attack Finland? shocked shocked
Russia NEVER PROMISED to attack Finland or Sweden if they join NATO.

But like l pointed out, "re-assessing the situation and taking the best decision, even if that means changing your earlier decision", is not the exclusive of Russia alone, America has done it a lot of times, within the last few weeks, and it was related to the Russia-Ukraine War.

Even America reversed itself in Afghanistan, when the situation changed hand , why is Russia being crucified for taking the best position, in matters that affected it.

Problem with most Nigerians is that they lack Analytical Skills or maybe they are just too lazy to seek information and would just make ignorant unfounded statements that lack any form of credit!

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. grin
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! grin ).
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. grin grin
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? undecided grin

- 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! grin grin
Na so, "Strong-Man" take calm down to small Venezuela. undecided 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.

Face saving excuse.
Just imagine bragging about Russia capturing villages when Ukrainian forces are almost at Russian border.
By now we expect the Russian army to be control half of the country, but they are yet to confidently control any province...not even the donbass region.
This is another long drawn out battle for Russia, just like Afghanistan in the 80s. Elemi lo ma last.

Ukraine will not give up on their country, they ve made that clear. This is not about zelensky. NATO will push in more weapons, strategic and logistic support.

What will Russia do? How long will Russians condone a meaningless war without any obvious outcome.
Yes Russia economy is doing well but what happens when Venezuela and Iran pump more oil onto the market, and europe turns their back on Russian energy?

I use to think that western hegemony is over but the way and manner they dealt with Russia stealthy, we may be stuck with them for another 100 years.

I hope china is watching and learning some lesson b4 they start their own madness in Taiwan.
