lol, how much is the application fee to join NATO?
0:04 I'm from Chicago and for this crazy b…h to mention Blagoyavich is the height of insanity. What does this political hack have to do with nuclear war? By the way Illinois has been one of the most corrupt state governments around with FOUR Illinois ex-governors having been locked up in the federal pen – Kerner, Walker, Ryan and Blago the last of whom was no worse than all the other aldermanic crooks going for the loot. He just acquired too many enemies who conspired to put him away for 17 years though he got out in 7.
I hope the countries planning to block Finland or Sweden contribute more than the Nordic two potentially can. If they block them and have less power to contribute, NATO will reevaluate. Especially since turkey has been under questionable rule compared to nato values.
It seems that these two countries want to be destroyed like Ukraine and it will happen
Erdogan is Putin's little butt ho puppet
What about George Bush Sr.'s 1991 promise to Gorbachev that NATO, once Germany joined, would not move "one inch eastward towards the Russian frontiers. There have now been 14 countries east of Germany joining NATO since 1999. The conventional media is celebrating like its New Year's Eve or Mardi Gras. This is going to end in nuclear war.
"It's an accident of hand. All without mind. From one extreme to another. And neither works nor will it ever. Here we stand in the middle of No-Man's Land…you and I." – Seargent Steiner (James Coburn) Cross of Iron (1977) – director Sam Peckinpah.

The last time an application to join NATO was blocked (Ukraine), that country was invaded, I do hope that at least Finland joins since they share a boarder with Russia and used to be a part of the Russian Empire, and they also sided with Nazi-Germany in WW2, you never know when Putin might one day use the excuse to 'de-nazify' Finland, or to restore the old Russian Empire as an excuse to invade Finland just as they did with Ukraine
I hope they pay their fair share
Is Russia really a big country? Or just celebrities who like to show off their wealth (weapons). Let's together see what the real threat from Russia is that small countries must submit to it. I think Russia is just gibberish about its nuclear weapons threat to Finland and Sweden.
Now down to erdogan like a hitler and al-baghdadi he is more dangerous down erdogan
Putin is the only European politician who made credible and sincere efforts to MNGA
I give him credit for that 😉
America used Ukraine as bait. His other plan was to include Finland and Sweden in NATO and he made the second move. The US aim was to weaken Russia militarily, it succeeded, but they didn't care what happened to the Ukrainian people. He deceived Ukraine by saying that we will take NATO. America provoked Russia. Russia's entry into Afghanistan at that time pleased America the most. Russia suffered heavy losses here. This war turned into city wars. When the war was over, the soviets dissolved. What happened in Ukraine turned into a city war. America is implementing the same plan to weaken Russia and expand NATO. He who has eyes sees the truth. pity the people of ukraine
Putin has told to a friend of my father, that if Finland joins NATO, a war will beging.
They are trying to catch Sanna Marin, …because they are going to perform a lobotomic surgery on her… and after that they will rape her in public. So sic!
As an American I can't wait to get drafted to fight and die for countries who refuse to have a military. NATO IS AWESOME.
Is it just me or is the little Russia Ukraine flag transition little insensitive.
Like at least try to hide the fact that we're using this as entertainment

No political leader has ever been able to unite the US, Europe, NATO and triple NATO defense budgets without protest. He even brought China and the West closer to each other Thank you for your efforts wannabe Tsar Vlad Putin, your time is up ;-)))
