Final holdout Turkey has given approval and Finland is set to join NATO. I feel sure some of our pro-Putin posters assured us this wouldn't happen. Well done Vladimir Putin. Having started a war claiming it was about stopping NATO expansion he has succeeded in driving a nation that had been neutral since WW2 and is known for being fiercly independent into the arms of NATO. It is not that many years ago that only 18% of Finns wanted to join NATO, now that figure is closer to 90% and it is all down to Vlad and his stalled invasion. Russia's border with NATO just got a LOT longer and the strategically important Kola Penninsula can be more easily disrupted in the event of conflict and the maritime approaches to Leningrad will be even more vulnerable. Oops! Bit of an own goal there. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65132527 Hopefully once Turkey's election is over Sweden will join Finland and further strengthen NATO. Maybe Ukraine will get some nice Grippen fighters to mark the occasion.
Yes, all members have ratified the application, so not it is pending only formalities.\ Turkey approves Finland Nato membership bid https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65132527 Finland will become the 31st member of Nato after Turkey's parliament voted to approve its application. Turkey had delayed Finland's bid to join the West's defensive alliance for months - complaining the Nordic nation was supporting "terrorists". Sweden, which applied to join Nato at the same time last May, is still being blocked by Ankara over similar complaints. Any Nato expansion needs the support of all its members.
Putin set out to change the direction of political evolution in Europe, and he succeeded -- but not in the way he planned.
Gotta hold out till July which is a ways away. Good thing Russias too busy getting chopped up in Ukraine. Also a good thing they suck at war anyway.
Yep.....Putler remains master strategist! And the award goes to? https://twitter.com/LuffyDFella/status/1641562422489251840?s=20 Soon to be followed by Sweden......then Ukraine,Moldova?
And the award goes to ? certainly not to you mate .. Ukraine not joining NATO any time soon. least not in its current form .. Perhaps in the whittled down format .. but even that may be negotiated away during negotiations ... after the spanking is complete.
Yep....the only spanking happening....is Mafiosi orcs tail between their legs....not to gifty.....Ukraine will be in NATO.....orcs will be shining Chicomms shoes gifty.
Naaahhh Zoomer .. you know your dreaming .. tying to keep the dream alive .. hoping that Biden's JV team will pull off a miracle- or perhaps a rabbit out of a hat .. but don't think your overLord Vlad gonna agree to that .. least not Ukraine in current configuration .. perhaps with a few pieces chopped off here and there .. even then is dubious . More likely this JV team end up in the trash like all the others .. after worn out its usefullness . which should not take too much longer - Ukraine at some point not gonna be able to keep up with the pace of the meat grinder .. but hey Zoomer .. in other news .. heard 50,000 North Korean Soldiers may be joining the fray .. pulling out all the stops for this party it seems - battling a real "Axis of Evil" those Ukrainian Lads .. When's NATO gonna send some troops to help out the good guys - or is that dream one to far . ?!
I am all in favour of recycling, but not recycling D grade propaganda. We did the 'North Korean soldiers to Russia' dance last August. None turned up. I guess Russia assumes its audience is so willing to believe anything, no matter how stupid, that they feel safe to recycle it every year. https://www.news.com.au/world/europ...e/news-story/1126782c8c5e6fe08a8ad2d9fa38dff0
What you blubbering .. this is hot off the press from the Eurasian times .. 50,000 North Korean Commandos Prepare To Join Russia’s Special Military Ops In Ukraine – Military Correspondent https://eurasiantimes.com/50000-north-korea-commandos-prepare-to-join-russias-special/
Off the Pipe Durandal .. and quit projecting your love and devotion to authoritarianism and dictators onto me .. and learn that fallacy and name calling is not an argument .. good grief what a hopeless case.
Yep....Kremlin Mafiosi offering food to NKs....in return for ammo. Brilliant....the Mafiosi can't feed their own conscripts properly....but are ready to offer up food to NK that had food shortages for decades. KJ in turn will probably deliver ammo leftover from the Korean War of the 50s thats defective and even dangerous to use in gun barrels. These 2 are meant for each other.
Uhhh hmmmm....gifty.....50000 NKs?....wow....that's what was said back in April 2022....along with thousands of Syrians?....did any show? Syrians looked at the temps in Ukraine and said no thanks....sandals and snow just don't mix gifty....KJ has 35K US troops and 200K South Korean troops 100 yds across DMZ to worry about...I doubt he gives a f@ ck about Ukraine half a world away. KJs looking at his inventory of Soviet iron and looking at the performance of that same Soviet iron in Ukraine....and probably thinking....I am so f***Ed!! Whatever $hithouse wall you pulled this off....you didn't think this through....did you?LOL.
Dayton.. go figure out what an argument is.. and learn that my calling out folks who lack this skill .. is not an insult .. just a statement of fact. Why do you wish to blame me for the moronic fallacy of others .. desperate to demonize your oppressor .. who outed your ridiculous authoritarian perspective - and now you wish to join the backslap pudd pull .. instead of the "maybe I should figure out what an argument is" club .. Tsk Tsk D . thought better of you.
Don't worry Zoomie .. Them N-Korean Soldiers gonna fight for Vlad .. say the Eurasian Times .. rest assured there will be an orki dorki sausage party .. come on Zoomer .. lets here the cheer you learned in bandcamp .. "Orc Orc Orc" You see Zoomie .. its a win win for Kim -- .. Vlad gonna be a good friend - and Kim don't wanna miss the chance to give his big fat middle finger to Biden.
"Them NKs will fight for Vlad"?.....sure....just need to pack their own lunch since Vladio can't feed his own conscripts....wait...there's 60K dead Wankers lying around unclaimed pieces of meat....NKs can/will cannibalize those.
More moronic idiocy you say ? complete failure to make argument ? Baby Kim got your curlers all in a bun .. the one in fantasyland here .. is the one who doesn't think Kim wants to give Biden the big Fat finger.. and that would be You Durandal .. its all YOU .. once again in some desperate effort to project your filthy fallacious fantasies onto others Har Har .. and I will have none of it. .
KJ can give Biden, or whomever the president is after that the finger all he likes.Fact is probably is that, with one well placed massive salvo.....KJs regime,the DMZ disappears like right now, North/South Korea becomes just Korea ( like former East/West Germany), and the DMZ moves up to the Chino border before the Chicomms mobilize to try to intervene.....this probably would be catastrophic for Xi.
