Sweden JOINS NATO - Ukraine - Russia War - New Cold War 2 - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports  " Hungary's parliament clears path for Sweden's Nato membership...Sweden has cleared its final obstacle to joining Nato after Hungary's parliament voted to ratify the bid.  "

Lets Get Real:

The invasion of the Ukraine by Russia has forced Finland and Sweden to join NATO for their own protection, this is not what Russia wanted, the very action that Putin wanted to avoid has happened, NATO has grown stronger and will feed Ukraine with ammo, the Ukraine  Army needs more ammo, its fighting power had been reduced by the lack of new ammo from the West and the US. The Russians have endless manpower, the Germans found that OUT in World War 2, the Russians had thought they had a deal with Nazi Germany, Hitler invaded in 1941, and nearly got to Moscow, if the Russians had waited and joined the Western Allies, the history of the period could been very different. Putin is another Hitler, has to be STOPPED in the Ukraine.

Sweden to JOIN NATO - Ukraine - Russia War - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports in its 8.31pm post the following, " 

Turkey agrees that Sweden can join NATO....

NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg has said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has agreed to ratify Sweden's accession to to the alliance.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Turks moved because they get F-16's from the US and Sweden has agreed to support Turkey becoming a member of the EU, let's see what the French say about that, they have a migration problem already, at least it is no longer a UK problem any more, thank God for Brexit.  Thus all Putin has gained from his Ukraine War is for Finland and Sweden entry in to NATO.  The US decision to give cluster bombs to the Ukraine should push the Russians back, if the Ukraine can push Russian forces back to the Crimea, then Russia might give way, they get the Crimea, but the Ukraine gets it country back and membership of NATO and the EU.

Finland becomes part of NATO - Ukraine - Russian War - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " Finland to join Nato military alliance on Tuesday.....The application was prompted by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, with which Finland shares a long border.  "

Lets Get Real:

This will not go down well in Moscow, the invasion of the Ukraine was in their twisted view down to the expansion of NATO after the end of the COLD WAR and the FALL of the USSR.  The invasion of the Ukraine has made NATO stronger, and added members such as Finland and in the future Sweden.  The Russian Army has shown itself to be hopeless in the Ukraine, one does wonder why the West was afraid of the USSR during the COLD WAR, they Russian Army has shown it itself to be weak, no structure, and WAR CRIMINALS who have murdered and raped its way through the Ukraine.   One does wonder how long the Army will follow its leadership, they revolted in 1917 and what about that now, saying NO to the Kremlin and getting the hell out of the Ukraine, the invasion of a fellow Slav country is shameful for Russia, let's recall WW1 started after Austria bombed bombed Serbia after the heir to the The Austro - Hungarian Throne was murdered with the knowledge of the black hand of Serbia.

Finland and Sweden to JOIN NATO - Ukraine - Russia War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " NATO: Finland and Sweden poised to join NATO after Turkey drops objection.....Turkey had previously blocked Finland and Sweden joining NATO, citing concerns about terrorism. The Nordic states asked to join the organisation after Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine.  "

Lets Get Real:

One does wonder if Turkey gave way after the Turkish President met POTUS, let's be honest its up to the US who comes in to NATO, not Turkey, it seems that Finland and Sweden have given the TURKS a face saving way out, one is sure they could have gotten that without all the fuzz.  The Russians will not be happy, they have threatened to place new missiles on the Finish border, the Fins have a big army, they have learnt from their WAR WITH RUSSIA in 1940.  Thus Putin has made NATO BIGGER, given it a new role, to contain a EVIL REGIME, and also the Germans are going to spend billions on their armed forces.  This is a GOOD DAY for the WEST and a very bad day for Russia. 

NATO Upgrade - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " NATO will significantly increase the number of forces on high alert to over 300,000 from 40,000 as part of the biggest overhaul of the alliance's defences since the Cold War.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is not what Putin's Russia wanted, it wanted a easy victory in the Ukraine and move closer to EU and NATO Countries, it did not expect the WEST to rearm the Ukraine Army and keep the Ukraine in the WAR.  Also Sweden and Finland have asked to join NATO, the UK and US have given security guarantees to both Countries should Turkey play the spoiler, they will be at WAR if Russia invades, and it doe not matter what they think, if the US and the UK in action so will be NATO and Turkey does not have a VETO over that.  The Russians have gained ground in South East Ukraine, the worry for the West is that Putin will declare victory and then it will be down to the carved up state to go in to a long WAR of attrition with Russia in the East.  The Biden OVAL and UK PM Boris could do with a victory, they are under pressure at home. 

US Military Support for Ukraine from the US - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.13pm post the following, " Biden signs aid bill after it is flown from the US to South Korea on commercial jet...We already know that $20bn is earmarked for military support...."

Lets Get Real:

The US can do this in till the end of time, they will not allow Russia to WIN in the Ukraine, and the Russian Government will find out like the OLD USSR Government that they cannot out spend the US and the West.  The US and the West in general is supporting KYIV Government with military and domestic support, also Sweden and Finland have applied to join NATO, this is not what Putin wanted, and at some point he will have to call for REAL PEACE TALKS, and he will have to give up the land he has taken in the Donbas, one doubts that Russia will ever give back the CRIMEA, they see the Crimea as Russian.  The heavy sanction on Russia and the military support to the Ukraine will force Russia to give a little, well in fact a lot.  The Russians will be lucky to keep what they had before the invasion, there must be a price for Russia to pay for the invasion, even if you never get Putin in to a COURT. 

Sweden - Finland Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Daily Mail: Reports " Sweden announces it WILL follow Helsinki and apply to join NATO as furious Putin warns of a 'response' and 'moves nuclear-capable missiles to Finland’s border' "

Lets Get Real:

Thus less harsh rhetoric as reported on Sky News more action from Russia, the Russians are sending a message, they can talk tough and follow through, even with the BAD WAR in the UKRAINE.  The Russians are concerned that NATO will place NATO troops or nuclear weapons in Sweden and Finland, that might be the most dangerous point. Putin by his illegal WAR in the Ukraine has united NATO, added new members to NATO, increased Western spending on defence up to 2%, also shown why NATO is needed in Europe.  This shows the lack of support for NATO by Corbyn and Trump was miss placed.   Also the Ukraine has been supplied with enough weapons to push the Russians back to their border.  One has to worry when does Putin start to use WMD, how back against the WALL can be pushed. 

Has Putin LOST HIS BOTTLE over Sweden and Finland in NATO - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports the following on President Putin's remarks on Sweden and Finland wanting to join NATO in its 2.07pm post, " While he warned of a "reaction", his remarks were devoid of the kind of bellicose language one might expect given the Russian president's animosity towards the Western military alliance and the threat he has suggested it poses to Russia.  "

Lets Get Real:

It seems the RUSSIAN BEAR has woken up and worked out that with the problems with the Ukraine he might as well accept that Sweden and Finland are about to join NATO.  The mess in the Ukraine is down to Putin, he thought it would be a walk over, according to reports the head of the Russian Intelligence is out of favour, it seems the FSB told Putin what he wanted to HEAR, it seems that Russians have learned nothing from the IRAQ WAR of Bush 43 and Tony Blair.  Both Sweden and Finland have been given security guarantees by the UK and others if Russian tries something on before these two countries become member of NATO they are covered AGAINST ANY ATTACK BY Russia.  Putin has achieved what he did not want, a UNITED NATO, an increase in Western Defence spending, more Countries wanting to join NATO, and the West supporting Ukraine with what it need to push the Russians all the way back to their border in the North.  Putin legacy will be one of the loss of Russian democracy and making Russia the WORLD'S NUMBER 1 ENEMY. 

West in Total Hybrid War against Russia - Russian Foreign Minister, Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " West has declared 'total hybrid war' on Russia, claims Lavov - as Putin warns Finland against joining NATO  "

Lets Get Real:

The blogger watched the remarks by the Russian Foreign Minister, half way through this blog hard to change the channel, the Foreign Minister is on another planet, he is not even in our GALAXY, the remarks were well of base, it was the ALL FAULT OF THE US, and it was the US making the demands and using the Ukraine as a base.  One hopes when the mics are off that the Foreign Minister knows that he is talking crazy talk and is pure BS.   One does wonder do the Russian people really believe this BS from the Kremlin, they must know they are being lied too, how many black body bags does it take, and bodies sent from the Ukraine in trains.  It has been reported that Russian Intelligence think that Putin has not long for this earth and that he has a terminal illness, it would explain a lot about his lack of judgement when it comes to the Ukraine, let's hope he does not want to take the World with him when dies through starting World War 3. 

Putin on Finland joining NATO - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.15pm post the following, " Putin warns Finland joining Nato would be a mistake....Russian media are reporting Putin's side of the conversation.....He told Sauli Niinistö there were currently no threats to Finland's security, and that Finland abandoning its long-standing neutral status would be a mistake.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians are unhappy, not great news, this is the last thing that the Kremlin wanted, the point of invading the Ukraine was to STOP them become part of NATO.  The Russian Invasion and WAR CRIMES means that Finland and Sweden have decided that their security is better in NATO than out, they have seen what Russian has done to the Ukraine and they want protection, the Turks have cast doubt on the applications, the Biden Oval has to INFORM them that they will support the move, or else, they are out of NATO.  One can presume that Putin has had words with Turkey and Hungary, both will have to be put in their place by the US and the rest of NATO.  The USSR was a great evil power, while modern Russia is not even a third rate power, its ARMY has shown that it is inept and WAR CRIMINALS.  Following orders will not be accepted by Courts, that will happen when the Putin Regime is no longer in power. 

Finland and Sweden a BIG BONUS for NATO - Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold War

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.35pm post the following, " Finland and Sweden would bolster NATO's military capabilities significantly......If they are to join NATO, Finland would have one of the largest armies in the military alliance.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can see why the Kremlin is WORRIED, the last thing they need is a WAR with Finland, the Ukrainian Army is giving the Russian Army a bloody nose, and it is reported that thousands of Russian Soldiers have been killed in the Ukraine, more than were killed in the 1979 - 1989 War in Afghanistan, the failure in Afghanistan is seen as one of the factors in the fall of the USSR.  Putin's Kremlin must know his regime is on the LINE, when the Russian people finally smell the coffee and see the disaster the WAR WITH THE UKRAIEN has been will they turn on the Regime, as the people did with the TSAR in 1917 and with the Coup plotters in 1991, this was the final nail in the coffin of the USSR.  Putin has gone through his nine lives, how much more failure can the Russian cope with, and when will they see through the BS. 

UK will defend Finland and Sweden if ATTACKED - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports the following in its 12.37pm post, " Johnson offers support if Sweden or Finland come under attack....The prime minister has said he will support Sweden and Finland if they come under attack - amid debate within both nations about whether to join the Nato alliance.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Kremlin has made threatening noises should Finland and Sweden join NATO.  This move by the UK PM is a clear message to Putin to, BACK OFF, if the democracies decide to join NATO then they will protected by Article 5, an attack on one is an attack all, the point of applying and becoming a member could be a time for the Russians to attack Finland, the Country shares a LONG BORDER with Russia.  The last time Russia attacked Finland it was given a bloody nose, this shows that small Countries take on a larger Country.  In the modern era this is what the Ukraine is doing against Russia.  One hopes the Russian Bear has not to be taught another bloody lesson by Finland and the UK. 

Hungary ODD MAN OUT - No on SANCTIONS - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.43pm post the following, " The EU has been agonising over energy sanctions for weeks.....Hungary, in particular, is seen as a potential road-block. It’s heavily reliant on Russian supplies, while the government of the recently re-elected Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, has voiced clear opposition to sanctions.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Hungarian people must have forgotten the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the then USSR.  The re-elected leader of Hungary is CLOSE to Putin, the US and other EU and NATO Allies must place pressure on Hungary, do they want to be in the EU and NATO, how can we trust them if they are loyal to the Kremlin.  The EU on the whole must ACT AS ONE, when it comes to sanctions, the Hungarians have a VETO as all Countries do.  The EU is sending billions to Putin due to its need of Russian gas, the EU, and individual countries as such as Germany and Hungary really need to cut ties with Putin's Russia.   When it comes to more tougher action by the EU and NATO one can see Putin using GAS as a blackmail to get these Countries to get these Countries to block sanctions or prevent Sweden or Finland becoming members of NATO.  The West has to be hard and firm with Putin, that is the only thing he understands, Putin if he ever had one is stamped with KGB running through it.

UK's SAS vs The Russians - Russian - Ukraine War - The New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " Russia investigating reports of SAS 'sabotage' in western Lviv region...Russia's main federal investigating authority says it will look at whether - according to a media report - the SAS has been sent in to "assist the Ukrainian special services in organising sabotage on the territory of Ukraine".  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes that the SAS ( Special Air Service ) is in the Ukraine, they will be able to teach the Ukrainian Soldiers how to use the heavy military equipment that the UK will be sending to help the Ukraine Army fight the Russians in the East and South Ukraine.  The Ukrainian Army will be need to taught how to create successful sabotage operations on land that is suited for Russian tanks, and how to cause havoc to Russian supplies.   The WAR in the Ukraine is going to last a long time, and now we know that the Russians want to take the whole of the South and East Ukraine.  If the Russians are allowed to do this, it would create a major threat to other NATO States.  The Baltic States have small Russian minorities, the Kremlin will want them back if they can be successful in the Ukraine, and the costs of Defence will hit the roof if NATO has to double its defensive line in the Baltic States and Poland and Germany.  Also if Finland and Sweden to join NATO, the Russians are sure to pull something to equal the score.  The next few weeks will be crucial for Europe and western security.

Russia WARNS Finland and Sweden about NATO Membership - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 1.41pm post the following, " Russia warns Sweden and Finland over Nato membership....Russia has warned Sweden and Finland via bilateral diplomatic channels about the consequences of joining Nato, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus more threats from the WAR CRIMINAL Putin, one hopes that both Finland and Sweden do not take a blind bit of notice of the Russians, the Fins in the last century gave the then USSR a bloody nose, do the Russians really want to take on Finland on again with NATO membership.  Putin has made it known that he expects the East Ukraine War to be nearly over by May 9th, so he can declare victory as Russia celebrates beating Nazi Germany in the Second World War.   The West has to make sure that celebration does not take place, the US has given billions in defence support to the Kyiv Government, there needs to be a lot more, if Russian wins in the East and marches on Odessa then that opens a new war on other Eastern European States, most IN NATO.  The West cannot afford to LOSE, it is that simple. 

Are Finland and Sweden UNDER THREAT if they JOIN NATO - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 12.01pm post the following, " Finland to decide whether to apply to Nato ‘within weeks’....Finland will make a decision about whether to apply to join the Nato alliance in the next few weeks, the country’s prime minister, Sanna Marin, said.....On Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov warned Finland and Sweden against joining Nato, claiming the alliance’s further expansion would “not bring stability to the European continent”.  "

Lets Get Real:

If Finland and Sweden do join NATO, then the West better get ready for friction on the borders of these States, the Russians see NATO as a THREAT, in fact NATO is a threat to PUTIN, he does not want free, democratic states on his border, it would show to his people what they are losing by having Putin in the Kremlin.  Nato must be ready to have a military presence in these States, and also be ready for Putin to try something on the Easter borders of NATO.   On May 9th Putin celebrates the end of WW2 with the Western Allies written out and a suppose victory in the Ukraine in his Special Military Operation, that is the kind of delusion that happens when Russia had a non aggression pact with Hitler from 1939 and 1941, thus allowing Hitler to invade Poland and for Russia to get half and also the Baltic States.  Putin thinks that Russia won the WW2 on its own, yes he is that bad a historian.  All that bathing in animal blood according to reports as a way to prevent getting COVID - 19 must have gone to his head, because he is not sane at this moment in time, if ever. 

Russia - Ukraine Tensions - Update - Biden Era

Let Gets Real:

Thus thig blog was WRONG, no Russian invasion of the Ukraine last weekend, WHY? what is the game Putin is playing,  is he waiting for his false flag operatives to strike, or is he waiting for a FORMAL NO from NATO?  The Ukraine should be on ALERT!  Also NATO, no one is sure what the Putin response could be, might he threaten the Baltic States, Finland, Sweden, Putin will want to be seen as a WINNER, it seems his polls are down and the Russian people are not out in the streets in the support for war as one reported stated, they were in 2014, has the Russian Teflon finally gone from Putin? The lack of something happening is worrisome, what doe it take to frighten Putin, everyone has a WEAK POINT, that is the 64 million dollar question. 

The World of Obama and Reality - Syria Crisis

Today President Obama in Sweden stated the following, " First of all, I didn’t set a red line; the world set a red line.  The world set a red line when governments representing 98 percent of the world’s population said the use of chemical weapons are abhorrent and passed a treaty forbidding their use even when countries are engaged in war. 

Congress set a red line when it ratified that treaty.  Congress set a red line when it indicated that -- in a piece of legislation titled the Syria Accountability Act -- that some of the horrendous things that are happening on the ground there need to be answered for.

And so when I said in a press conference that my calculus about what’s happening in Syria would be altered by the use of the chemical weapons, which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong, that wasn’t something I just kind of made up.  I didn’t pluck it out of thin air.  There’s a reason for it.  That’s point number one.

Point number two -- my credibility is not on the line.  The international community’s credibility is on the line.  And America and Congress’s credibility is on the line because we give lip service to the notion that these international norms are important. ".

Either President Obama is having a memory lapse or he thinks the rest of the WORLD is thick, you never say something that is NOT TRUE and is on film.   You do not play about with foreign policy, those Republicans in the House who might think of voting for the Syrian resolution will now wonder if Obama is serious about taking action, or is seeking to shift the blame if Syria goes wrong.  The above words could have cost the Oval a Syrian Resolution passed by Congress.
