... Findland & Swedens' joining NATO.  What a little dip***** Putin fanboy he is.

And the Sammies and dweedles and gooeys of the world are presuming that everybody will eventually come to their senses and let little Vlad run his sandbox.

Great. Two more country we have to protect.

[rickgthf]

... now we have two more countries to protect us.

    3020, you obviously have no idea about how geopolitical & military strategy works but at least you admit that Russia is a threat.

Neither Bruce nor rick would do a thing to defend either of those countries.  They would not themselves go, they would not send their children and I doubt either have in the net paid a penny of taxes.

And just like that, America has signed up to fight WW III on behalf of two more Eastern European countries that have little or no vital American strategic interests. It was all just so easy. It was all so virtuous. What was there ever not to love about swearing this new allegiance to defending Finland and Sweden?

Pray God only that Americans will never experience the consequences of what their own elected representatives have so dismissively done. D*mn!

That’s a funky new term.

Ol’ Fredrick would be proud. Maybe would have allowed you to tag along.

I understand exactly how it works. Sweden and Finland to Biden, we need money to shore up our politicians pension funds. Biden to the American worker, we have to raise your taxes so you can shore up Sweden and Finland's political pension system. They are first. You are last.

BTW Finland is spelled Finland not Findland.
