That's the idea. Everyone against it is of course a traitor to whatever nation.
According to Dem. Steny Hoyer, "We are at war" already. The MIC won't back down. Fossil fuel corporations aren't going to give up and try to save us from climate disaster. Time to hit the streets. p.s. thanks for giving Mr. Nixon a voice. Good points he makes.
It looks like the EU is now forced to accept the gas for rubles plan . Countries are now beginning to realize the cost they will endure to satisfy the wishes of a few . Cracks will form from empty promises made . Eyes opening around the world .
Boris Johnson went to Finland and guaranteed protection from Russia if they join NATO ? what a Bozo Clown!
Putin should save face? What about American aggression and NATO expansion on russia's door step?
Finland declared itself an independent state, in 1918; this was accepted by the new Bolshevist government. As such, it was never part of the USSR. Additionally, there are not, literally, millions of citizens of Finland whose primary language is Russian; Finland does not contain a warm water port; and the one time that the USSR did launch a war against Finland, in 1939, they lost in less than six months. For those reasons and more, such a war is highly unlikely. While the creeping NATO boundary is a terrible threat to world peace, Russia has enough on its plate, already, with the billions of dollars of US taxpayer funds poured into Ukraine, in the form of advanced weaponry.
It’s almost the west want war…….
"the second most powerful military"? (after the U.S.?)
How about China?
But any NATO member country can still veto Finland's accession to NATO i think. Croatia, Turkey and Italy announced they will
Amazing!
It’s crazy how backwards everyone’s framing is. NATO was created to protect Europe against Russian expansionist foreign policy. They’ve already proven that a NATO is necessary.
Finland welcomed Nazis and fascism in WWII, anyone surprised they are shit stirring now?
USA TO RUSSIA "NATO WILL NOT EXPAND" Russia is this generation's Native American Indian
God: Trust me and I'll protect you.
Person: Protect me from what
God: From what I'll do to you if you don't trust me.
Just change 'god' to 'russia.
Sad georgia wasn't apart of nato russia wiped my partners city clean of the map. Worst part her family fled to other soviet countries some to ukraine just to get invaded by Russia again.
A near extinction event is likely between 2030 and 2055; but the clowns in power can only focus on worsening our last decades with war
Superb content! Cheers. Does anyone have a reference to the Independent article that Garland mentioned…I can't put my finger on it yet!
I hope Garland is correct. I really hope so. But I'm worried. It does seem like things are getting out of control. Literally.
USA is a failing empire and asking for a war with Russia
Thx for update
How can anyone blame Finland for wanting to join NATO? Russia is berserk
This was always the ultimate end-goal of the Russia-gate psy-op on the American people. It was surely utilized for many other aims, but this was definitely the main purpose. Sad so many people fell and continue to fall for this blatant propaganda.
Boris Johnson never said the British or Nato would "guarantee" Finland's security in case Russia would make a move. Johnson said the British would help, that's all. They simply guaranteed some level of involvement, which could mean anything really.
Another senseless and dangerous provocation.
😆 The Russian army "dashes NATO to bits?" Dude. DUDE… please. 🤣
I like your program and guest
I would pay good money to see Garland fighting Mike Tyson! 😂
Real experts lol. If Russia is so awesome as you want to describe it, then why is Russia having such big problems in Ukraine?
Denmark here. Most people forget that article 5 in the NATO charter is a statement of intent, and not an obligation. If a NATO member is attacked, the other members have only pledged to THINK about coming the attacked nation to help. This was the reason why a lot of NATO countries became worried during the Trump presidency, because they didn't feel sure that USA under Trump would come to their help if there ever was a war in Europe. On June 1st the people of Denmark are going to vote if we want to join a formal military cooperation agreement with the EU, in addition to our membership of NATO. Right now half the Danes intend to vote yes to such an arrangement, the other half is voting no. In my opinion we will end up staying out of an EU defense alliance, mainly because most Danes are concerned that the EU overall is not a democratic institution. At least this is what I hope, the war hysteria is strong here in Denmark, so you never know. Greetings from Denmark!
Short answer: YES. In fact, the smart play for Russia right now would be to annex all non-NATO countries before they join, (if he has the infra). As they are obviously gonna be used against him. And he already lived through the max sanctions and we've shown we can'twon't put troops on the ground. We can only send so much aid.
