It’s been rumoured for a while now, but yesterday Finland and Sweden’s Prime Ministers held a joint press conference to discuss the potential of them joining the NATO alliance. This is seemingly one of Putin’s worst fears, but in a cruel twist of fate, it was him that forced this to happen.

    Russia is so hostile against all west
    countrys, and that is sad we could have
    continued to trade but it would be suicide.
    Paying Russia to build weapons to use

    The graph at 4:11 is/was wrong. Miljöpartiet (The Green Party) and Vänsterpartiet (The Left Party) are actually against joining Nato. The other six parties in the parliament are all for it.

    NATO, is an offensive and hostile military alliance, primarily England and America that have destroyed many countries – Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc.,.. now it's Ukraine, and next is Finland and Sweden. It's time for the world to wake up before these war mongers destroy the world.

    If I had to guess this is gonna go the same way as the Winter war. If Finland joins NATO, Sweden won’t allow help to come through

  16. @philthompson8574

    February 15, 2024 at 5:05 am

    Russia's should stop worrying about European NATO it needs to cut off the snakes head which is the USA. Together with China, North Korea, and a properly armed Iran and other middle Eastern countries they could achieve it.

  17. @midori9566

    February 15, 2024 at 5:05 am

    Russia really needs to be put in its place, if they go to war with Finland they’ll be fighting an unsuccessful two front war. Should Finland join, Russia escalate and a conflict occur I think Finland should be given it’s old territories. Not only as a national pride thing, but simply because Finland and NATO will have quick access to Russia’s jugular (Moscow and St. Petersburg.)

    There not Ukrainian so they will be destroyed in days Russia can easily destroy Ukrainian but doesn’t want that for the people of Ukrainian these two countries as well as nato will be destroyed without any boots in the country at all so go for it sign up and put your self in the crosshairs of Russias military which won’t loss

  20. @Amogius

    February 15, 2024 at 5:05 am

    Russia Threatening with "military retaliation" and sending its airforce into Swedish airspace has only made us want to join NATO more, if they did not directly threaten Sweden i think there would be many more opposed to joining NATO.

    The Moderate Party is the second biggest not the Swedish Democrats.
    The higlighted stuff in the graph represent more the parties that was against Nato before the war.
