iCauseTrouble:That is the sole aim of NATO. They want to use the war to stretch Russia. USA is not investing billions into that war for nothing. |

Demolakay:Using nuclear weapons means you and your people won't survive so it's actually not fighting dirty, it's fighting foolish and suicidal. Stop this talk about Nuclear weapons, Putin can not and will not use it. Instead of admitting that Russian is weak especially the fact that the so called superpower can not defeat a small country next door, Putin fans don't want to confront that reality and Putin failure, now they shifted the goal post to nuclear weapons that he can not even touch. Russia is a weak country that can not defeat a small country that didn't have any strong military or serious weapons before the war. Face the truth. |

Rebelutionary:I don’t remember Russia setting a date for when Ukraine will fall - that was noise from western capitals who thought Russia would replicate American “shock and awe” and use its full military power. And this is the reason why they keep expecting Russia to mobilise, lol. People need to understand that US and Russian military doctrines are different. US doctrine is mostly Nazi German doctrine with a sprinkle of old Soviet doctrine - with massive air power and heavy bombardment. Russian doctrine is mostly artillery and tank warfare deep in battle with attrition. Two different countries, two different mentalities and doctrines. Russia’s style does cost more lives but once they crush you - you’re crushed for generations. The whole Sweden and Finland joining NATO is more symbolic than strategic since both have been indirectly part of NATO for over 2 decades. They just made it formality now. And they’re not different from Estonia and Lithuania that are NATO members. Ukraine is much more important due to Sea of Azov - losing that would cripple Russia. Anyway, there’s a reason why Russians are the best chess players in the world. Russians are slow to react but when they react - it always come with a bigger blow. With the current CSTO meeting going on in Russia and the announcement of a dozen more countries joining the organisation - be on the lookout for Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela and Argentina to join the next batch (Argentina is currently in Russia as an observer). Once they join CSTO - the US will cry and throw its toys out of the pram, lol. |

Demolakay:A weak Russia that can not defeat small Ukraine is a threat to the largest and the most powerful military alliance in the world? Must be sarcasm.. |

MT:reminds me of when that uk minister said if a toes of Russian soldier crosses into Poland, Russia will be taken care off. Putin off. besides I'm still waiting for Russia reaction to us Intel and coordinations that brought down a Russian plane carry hundreds of soldiers to Kiyv in the early days of the war to support and help overrun the ground troops seizing the airport. knowing fully well that if they had succeded, that would have instrumental in overrunning Kiyv and would have open the flood gate for Russia weapons to arrive kyiv. putin promise you guys so many things and we're yet to see em. |

Alexandersantos:You’re funny. America scared of some weapon Russia supposedly has? The jokes you tell. ![]() Do you know what the biggest fear is? The Fear of the unknown. The US doesn’t threaten or show its hand. The world doesn’t learn about the US’s latest and most dangerous weapons until they’re used in war. That’s backed by history. |

As we speak, Ukraine is at the Russian border. Small Ukraine beat Russian back to the Russian border. The hunter is now the hunted. See life.. |

I have predicted this right from the beginning of the invasion. Putin miscalculated. Two lesson should be learned from this war. 1- in this era you can't force anybody to do your bidding while you have equal authority, you just have to be diplomatic in your approach. That's why America will always be ahead of Russia. 2- in a war like this where your main enemies are not involve but watching, do not expose or play all your cards else you will be overwhelmed at the end and then you look stupid. |

drLammy:Finland and Sweden have the resources to buy and sell Russia ten times over. Russia is struggling to sustain its war with Ukraine and can’t defeat Sweden or Finland, even without NATO’s backing |

CaseSensitive:It's all bad calculations from a dictator who doesn't have advisers. Finland has seen it as the best time to join cuz of the timeframe of the process involved and with Russia currently at war, it will buy them time to wait for maturity of their application. Finland did the calculation and Sweden followed suit. At this point Russia can only bark as they can't fight two full blown war at a time. At the end, Russia and Putin are the big losers |
| Re: Sweden Ends Neutrality, Joins Finland In Seeking NATO Membership by Rebelutionary: 5:04pm On May 16, 2022 |
AldrichAmes:1. Yes, No countries sets a date per say for when a country will fall but you will agree with me with the massing of troops that took place months ahead before the invasion you wouldn't expect Ukraine to be standing but here we are 83 days later and they are not any closer to their military objectives. Not one landmark milestone achieved! Maybe you would tell me one...not Kiev not kharkiv. Even the Russians are miffed that it is dragging this long with casualties pouring in! 2. Concentrating their offensive on the Donbass was an afterthought after realising that they obviously can't take the whole country, oust the president and install their puppet! Tell me which would have sent a more convincing message of Russia's military dominance-taking Ukraine convincingly or grappling at straws to fight for the Donbass region? Now you see the lie in your Azov sea position! 3. The same fear that propelled the invasion of Ukraine is what he made happen quicker! What folly! If it is chess Russia just got schooled. There is nothing like indirect membership in NATO, you are either in or not! Russia should touch any of these countries and he will be surprised! 4. CSTO? please dont make me laugh abeg...was that a typo or something? Did you see the list of countries you are listing? There is nothing to watch out for abeg and wont even bother making a comment on that. Read this: Win or Lose, Russia has lost! |

Demolakay:How big was the island of Japan when it held the world hostage between 1937-1945, defeated and occupied China and singlehandedly (without the aid of foreign forces) ran riot throughout Asia till the edge of the middle east....and even after being hit with two atomic weapons only surrendered when Russia did not comit to neutrality. Oga. War is a classic case of the size of the fight in the dog. Even you can see what ragtag bandits and insurgents have made of your Nigerian Army. Remember the Wehrmacht were just 20 kilometers from Moscow in November 1941 when they were frozen out by weather and Hitler's pride and greed.... I seriously think not. |

1stGenAmerican:you won't understand the mind of those terrorist. All they think of is death to Westerner by all means. It truly takes the mind of an elite to understand world power which sadly many are lacking! Edited: oh shiit!

colonelwealth:Excuse me but this is a big bucket of bullshit. First, China will never risk being sanctioned by the West over Russia. Russia can’t replace the Western money that China would lose and China knows this and acts accordingly. Venezuela and Cuba? You must be blind to the current conditions of both those countries. They have nothing to offer in an alliance. Don’t forget that Venezuela is welcoming the US and its dollars with open arms. Which non-Western European countries have refused to join NATO due to fearing Russia? Which ones are anti-NATO? War has already broken out yet Russia still hasn’t shown the world anything impressive so what are you saying? |
