  4. Finland has no claims officially to any land of Russia at the moment. They agreed to current borders at the end of WWII.

  5.  @jugganaut33  Yep, so many captures I would not be shocked if most of these 70 were ex-Ukrainian.

  7. Almost 300 now surrendered at AzovStal. We see what the total will be!

  8. Well, he is correct through about the ship - this is not a war at sea but on land. So sinking of the ship is more of an embarrassment for the Russians and overall weakening of their hand - but on sea - which the war is not. Picture is indeed quite rosy for Russia - they are in Ukraine, they are slowly advancing, their economy did not collapse. West has economic problems. Do point out to some major non rosy aspect that you think is of strategic value!

  9. Fins and Sweden said no nukes and no bases. They were very close to NATO since 1994. Nothing really major is really happening - its more of a political game.

  10.  @gtengineer1967  So who cares they will be under article 5 - Russia does not care - they do care for their offensive capabilities - as long as they do not place nukes or bases on their land it is just unfriendly move and that is it. I doubt Finland, for example, would suddenly start staging provocations with Russia to get a response so they can claim article 5 consultations. Besides, article 5 is a very weak cover - pretty much no better then they have right now. So getting them into NATO will just increase US influence over them and set them as target for WWIII. This is why its a terrible idea for them to join - no benefit of any kind for them. Finally, US for sure will put a lot of pressure on Fins to get these nukes over there. If they are so foolish to join NATO I do not think they will resist the urge for long.

  11.  @bhangrafan4480  Yes, we see - Russia calculated for this since 1994 - I wonder why they started to be close to NATO after fall of Soviet Union - certainly not b/c of security.

  12.  @bhangrafan4480  Exactly - US presence there was not as "friends" but as sabotage groups. Remember countries only have interests, which are not permanent.

  13. You do know Ukrainian military was 10x bigger then Finish military and is largest entirely in Europe and one of the best equipped entirely in Europe?

  14. He wants a deal out of this - he wants NATO to pay him a lot of political tokens. I wish others in NATO were not under US boot so much & also got a deal.

  15. But how can they - Turkey is 2nd largest after US - kicking them out would significantly weaken NATO - look at the map.

  16.  @SanMikeva  In Turkey's case yes, a map will tell you a lot of that. Maybe you should look at the map? Yes geopolitics is related to a map ;) I mean its struggle to control geographical regions with global implications...
