Finland and Sweden Joining NATO Is the Latest Example of Putin Miscalculating the Ukraine War

The Swedes were part of NATO operations in Afghanistan, Libya, and the Balkans. At times I was personally protected by a Swedish military security detail in the Balkans, where they also deployed forces. Swedishfighters, highly capable jets equal to a US F/A-18 Hornet were part of the air campaign over Libya.

A glance at a map shows how the addition of these two nations expands NATO’s strategic options to the north. The long border with Russia provides the opportunity for NATO forces to operate and train along the flanks of any further Russian military operations directed against the alliance. We cannot completely rule out a Russian asymmetrical response, which might come in the area of cyber – a dog that hasn’t loudly barked yet in this conflict. It is likely that Putin is holding back some of his cyber options until sanctions begin to bite harder, at which time he may unleash them against the west. At that point, the Finns and Swedes might be targets. But the good news is that both countries have very skilled cyber forces and sophisticated cyber defenses.

stavridisj Putin is failing on the battlefield & pushing Finland & Sweden into NATO, he has no one to blame but himself for nations running away from Russia. Biden united West, which has imposed historic sanctions & offered historic aid to Ukraine, but more needed

stavridisj Ever considered the possibility that this is all a false flag and that China is the real target? Putin plays along with the Anglo-American establishment in order to militarize the EU under false pretenses. After the planned regime change in Russia there will be a Eurasian deal...

stavridisj If Turkey continues to oppose Sweden and Finland joining NATO, there is only one way. Countries that have not yet officially joined NATO will independently sign a mutual defense treaty similar to NATO and establish a mutual defense treaty body.

stavridisj Turkey will not allow this, the Russians know and the Americans are maneuvering, so this will not happen .

stavridisj the putin puller has two left feet when it comes to winning this year!!!

stavridisj Putin pushed every country into joining Nato the first step into Ukraine. Personally I am shocked that it never happened sooner in 2014.
