Having ties with Russia is the main reason Ukraine is still standing, Russia is taking them with kid glove... There are many ethnic Russia in Ukraine which is making it difficult to do some high level attack but that won't applies to Sweden and Finland...

I hope someone tell them this, I don't want to hear Russia is destroying Finland or Sweden later...

There it is in black and white. The Biden team wants to “goad Russia into a military response” in order to sabotage NordStream. That implies there will be some kind of provocation designed to induce Putin to send his troops across the border to defend the ethnic Russians in the eastern part of the country. If Putin takes the bait, the response would be swift and harsh. The media will excoriate the action as a threat to all of Europe while leaders around the world will denounce Putin as the “new Hitler”. This is Washington’s strategy in a nutshell, and the whole production is being orchestrated with one goal in mind; to make it politically impossible for the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to wave NordStream through the final approval process. Hi
I like the school of thought explained out here, but Russia has never helped matters, her panic modes has only straightened the feared deterrence in Europe and I saw it coming is he going to win Europe by guns, or improve her diplomatic tools, nobody will dare fire at Russia first if Russia didn't shoot a bullet, she played into their hands ,the economic tool could topple NATO alliance if she had persisted on such ties that testing guns and public threats that only got scared neighbors and mistrust from potential partners ,only distant countries won't panic and mistrust Russia , so nobody can help Putin nearby Russia has made that great blunder even her rank of military knows and some citizens are becoming worried too ,the best thing is to end the war there and talk to her neighbors that's the only way her gas is a good diplomatic tool not the guns!

I intended to quote someone out here but ended up modified while trying to reduce the quote pls note.

Please .

I love it, Europe should destroy itself, let them feel the brute of suffering they inflicted on Africans.

Western Europe you mean cow they're the one that holds the grip in Europe.

Let's see what the outcome is but I hope they don't . It would not be a good thing to see another Ukraine happen to both countries.

Putin and his ers are fools.

Sweden and Finland have never put forward a proposal to NATO until now.

And why are they planning on ing now?

EU fell right into US trap!
The Ukrainian crisis has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about and, in particular, a pipeline that connects to Russia called Nord Stream 2. Washington sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.

The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and missile systems, and no need for NATO. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance s. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the Biden istration opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and Asia are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between and Russia signal an end to the “unipolar” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the Superpower that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.

That’s where Ukraine comes into the picture. Ukraine is Washington’s ‘weapon of choice’ for torpedoing Nord Stream and putting a wedge between and Russia. The strategy is taken from page one of the US Foreign Policy Handbook under the rubric: Divide and Rule. Washington needs to create the perception that Russia poses a security threat to Europe. That’s the goal. They need to show that Putin is a bloodthirsty aggressor with a hair-trigger temper who cannot be trusted. To that end, the media has been given the assignment of reiterating over and over again, “Russia is planning to invade Ukraine.” What’s left unsaid is that Russia has not invaded any country since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and that the US has invaded or toppled regimes in more than 50 countries in the same period of time, and that the US maintains over 800 military bases in countries around the world. None of this is reported by the media, instead the focus is on “evil Putin” who has amassed an estimated 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border threatening to plunge all of Europe into another bloody war.

All of the hysterical war propaganda is created with the intention of manufacturing a crisis that can be used to isolate, demonize and, ultimately, splinter Russia into smaller units. The real target, however, is not Russia, but . Check out this excerpt from an article by Michael Hudson at The Unz Review:

“The only way left for U.S. diplomats to block European purchases is to goad Russia into a military response and then claim that avenging this response outweighs any purely national economic interest. As hawkish Under-Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, explained in a State Department press briefing on January 27: “If Russia invades Ukraine one way or another Nord Stream 2 will not move forward.” (“America’s Real Adversaries Are Its European and Other Allies”, The Unz Review)

What gives obama the right to influence the nigeria election of 2015? What gives the US the right to ask us to undo our anti gay laws?

I just dont unserstand this our country Nigeria again....or should i just say Nairaland

There is internet , make research, know what NATO is, even the Late Mandela knew how manipulative they are. But he did not break because he was strong and wise.

Do you even know why NATO was formed?

And how they broke their promise (Lied) to Russia.

And did you even know when all this NATO thing was formed Russia tried to ?

Also NATO targeted one of the surrounding countries Russia and bombed them without informing russia or EU.

Most of this things are not on cnn or bbc, but history cant be erased.

Hi

What an insightful piece. I really appreciate the time spent to precipitate this.

It's clear America does not want Nord stream 2 to be completed however, your write up has butress to explain Ukraine's role in making that happen. Because I believe with or without the war in as much as Russia is still economically strong and there are no legally binding sanctions with respect to Int'l relations that could prevent them from completing this pipeline. I therefore don't see how the cold war btw UslS and Russia can prevent that from happening eventually.

Previous explanation given to the Russian invasion of Ukraine was that their alliance with NATO will further expose Russia's military investments in Ukraine considering their history together.

A part of me amagree with you in some areas cos I believe this war is more about economic dominance between these two powerful nation's especially the rejection of Petrodollar Regine by Russia than just for military might. However, am still puting the pieces together to come up with a robust explanation.

Can you pls butress more on the role of Ukraine in ensuring the Nord Stream 2 is not completed? Thank you.

It seems you don't like the progress of Russia; you want to see Russia destroyed!

Their advance is the main reason they should not poke the bear...
They both have a total population of less than 17 million with a land mass a little above Ukraine's...

Russia struggling with Ukraine?? Are you blind to see they're achieving their aim from the beginning or are you quoting the western aim?

even if you do not think this is proof enough, why did they invade other sovereign countries and oust their government there. Libya is a big example.

Having ties with Russia is the main reason Ukraine is still standing, Russia is taking them with kid glove... There are many ethnic Russia in Ukraine which is making it difficult to do some high level attack but that won't applies to Sweden and Finland...

I hope someone tell them this, I don't want to hear Russia is destroying Finland or Sweden later...

With both countries having a population of less than 17 million and land mass a little above Ukraine's, I hope someone is advising them thoughtfully... Bombing them to Oblivion will be a walk over, don't poke sleeping Lion...

#Advice
Ciao

Their hip discussion should not be done at this time. Both countries should allow Russia Ukraine conflict end first and re evaluate their position

Botlord:

Ok we'll see...
I just pity Finland and Sweden, whoever is advicing them is not wishing them good...

You have nothing reasonable to post.
