Nato Opens door to Sweden/Finland-How will this play in US Politics?

[Deplorable Yankee]

NATO's chief has publicly stated that if Sweden and Finland wish to Join they will be welcomed with open arms.

NATO chief says Finland and Sweden would be quickly welcomed 'with open arms' if they want to join alliance

Finland and Sweden earlier offered indications that they would both seek NATO membership, saying Russia's war in Ukraine changed everything.

How will all the chicken hearts at home who are always scared we'll anger Putin handle it? Will this cause another mental health crisis in the US like Trump winning the Presidency in 2016?

Go ahead keep poking the bear at its borders.....colonialists...globo homo expansionist tools

IF Putin was dumb enough to order the use of Nukes I think his own people would take him out.

1. I'm curious if the Russian generals would follow that order to launch.
2. If they launched, we launch, NATO launches, not good.

The US military has never invaded another country to keep the land and resources.
The US builds coalitions, like when we threw Saddam out of Kuwait.
The US removed Saddam from power and set Iraq free from his brutality.
The US went into AFG to eliminate AQ, and then mistakenly tried to build a democracy.

Putin took Crimea, and invaded Ukraine to make it part of Russia.

I’m afraid you’re delusional. The US invaded Iraq TWICE based on lies. The result was our military destroyed the country’s infrastructure, except for the oil fields. Funny that…By some estimates one million Iraqi men, women, and children died. Yet you think this admirable.

Welcome Sweden

Historia, allting handlar om vår historia
Alla dom som gått mot strömmen
Dom som gått sin egen väg Drömmar
Allting handlar om våra drömmar
När vi drömmare slutat drömma ...

Talk about delusional...link/prove your claims.
Also, you need to look at how many Iraqi lives were saved by removing Saddam and his animal henchmen.

Lol. You think that means it’s wrong?

We invaded Kuwait on 1 and Saddam destroyed the oil fields. Not us. We stopped after Kuwait was taken

Apparently you forgot the Highway of Death. How could you?

I remember it. It was in Kuwait. Only action in Iraq was to flank them. Iraq was given time to leave before a shot was fired. They stayed and reaped the whirlwind.

Putin and all his little Putinettes are pretending that NATO, and a bigger NATO, is a threat to attack and invade ol' Mother Russia at any minute.

Which, of course, is paranoid fantasy. Those authoritarians sure to love to pump out that paranoid fantasy.

It won't.

I'm pretty sure it's going to get an overwhelming majority approval in polling.

The measure has about 70-75% approval in Sweden and Finland and I'd imagine polls in the US would put approval somewhere between 62-70% here at home.

It also appears to be widely approved of in the EU countries.

Barring something really unforeseen this looks like a done deal and a very good deal for the west as well as the Russian People as Putin and his successors won't be able to do what they've done in Ukraine again once all of western and southern Europe are aligned.

And? We could have gone all the way to Baghdad to remove Saddam and arguably should have.

In Bosnia the Russians moved in threatening us as we bombed the Serbs who were committing Genocide. They took men, women, and children into stadiums and slsughtered them.

Fuck Russia

Major NATO Military Interventions

Interventions not "invasions", read the article.
How much new land did NATO keep from those interventions? Hint: none
Russia invades and keeps the land grab. See the difference?
