Finland and Sweden could soon join NATO, moves that would likely infuriate Moscow and that officials say would further underscore Russia's strategic error in invading Ukraine.

NATO officials told CNN that discussions about Sweden and Finland joining the bloc have gotten extremely serious since Russia's invasion, and US senior State Department officials said the matter came up at this week's NATO foreign ministerial, which was attended by the foreign ministers from Stockholm and Helsinki.

Officials said the discussions underline the extent to which Vladimir Putin's invasion has only served to reinvigorate and unify the NATO alliance -- the exact opposite of Putin's stated goals before the war began. The Russian President had demanded that NATO cease expanding east and admitting new members, accusing the bloc of threatening Russian security. Instead, NATO has increased its support to Ukraine and is preparing to welcome new members.

If Finland and Sweden join, it will be another triumph for Putin's statecraft! :rolleyes:

Newspapers in Sweden have been speculating, not entirely seriously, that Putin is really a secret operative for NATO. After all, you don't stop people joing a mutual defense club by threatening to attack them.

Maybe that's the missing key ...

No, it is worse. NATO was founded as a defense against Russian expansion. Putin proved how correct it was to create the pact. Putin made the threat into reality. That is why more nations are considering it.

Sure. I make a motion for them to even place the blame on Russia.

Putin's lies and aggression are making even neutral nations look at him funny.

Nordberg, NATO was formed to prevent the Soviets from taking over the world. The Soviets. The World.

NATO's time is over. It's now an organization trying to justify its existence and there is no justification.

Consider that the biggest socialists are former monarchists; they are cultures of sheep. Euro-sheep.

All the rugged individualists left for the New World a few hundred years ago and still are leaving when able.

I have to wonder why it is soo difficult to bear true witness to our own federal Constitution with a McCarthy era phrase in our pledge; when it could solve most of our problems. That is how Good a job our Founding Fathers did at the convention with our federal Constitution and supreme law of the land.

We have our Ninth and Tenth Amendments, and State equivalents.

Sad that you can't focus long enough to discuss the topic. Are you young or is your mind "off"?
