"Get Ukraine out of Ukraine" XD

[randylaffy]

Let's hope you guys don't end up like the league of nations.

[tmm]

And, yet, Ukraine, who needs NATO's support desperately, will never be accepted.

Whenever I see NATO news I think of Putin and Screeching Weasel's song: Cool Club.
🎶
There's a real cool club on the other side of town
Where the real cool kids go to sit around and talk bad
About the other kids
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it

There's Millie, Pickles and Pattycakes too
And Cubby's making mean jokes about you
Haha, ya little twit!
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it

They're a real cool bunch of die fledermausketeers
And they'll laugh at the tough skins, your mum got you from sears, you dork
They'll never let you in
'Cause it's a real cool club
And you're not part of it

You're fat and ugly and an imbecile too
And that's why they draw funny pictures of you And talk bad
About all the kids
'Cause it's a real cool club and you're not a part of it

Yeah, it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you're not part of it
Yeah, it's a real cool club and you'll never be a part of it
🎶

*At least NATO should have given some hope 2 Ukraine and Georgia to join later, rather than NATO door is open to SO FAST for Sweeden n Finland, of course I am delighted, but for Georgia and Ukraine EVEN got promiseed 14 yrs ago but NOT even when... ? Some kinds of discrimination I will say! USA

[mikegee]

Trying to set up the playing field of allies and enemies 😂😂

[ariseon]

Are you sure is Sweden not Switzerland ?

[jesternotclown]

What does she mean with the phrase “Americans wanted more ‘masculine’ language in the S Korean/Japan/NATO discussion?

[gadk]

Unfortunately, Sweden and Finland joining NATO is not going to make any fundamental change to the strategic balance in the Baltic because it doesn't change the underlying picture.

[SeeLight]

An organization for favored nations. Unity? On what?

[jeepsnmopars]

Well... this is rhe beginning of the end.

NATO has badly blown it logistically. NATO hasn't supplied sufficient armaments and hasn't acted quickly enough.

I like the anchorwoman on the right's shirt

[StPiter]

Imatra, Lapeenranta, Turku and Laplandia shall be empty of Russian tourists for years. No cheap round wood from Russia for Scandinavian timber industry and Ikea. No cheap Russian oil and gas for Neste any more. No Russian markets for Valio, Atria and Fazer. No Russian sky for Finnair. No cheap chemicals products for Nokian. Thousands of jobs shall be lost there. What a smart move from Scandinavians😅😅😅😅😅😅

Basta 1 SATAN ll para Helsinki e 1 SATAN ll para Estocolmo ....

[gadk]

Again, Sweden and Finland put together do not represent half the threat Ukraine posed to Russia, and even then, these countries were already cooperating with Europe and USA anyway. The move of uncooperating these countries into NATO is not of much military or economic significance but is rather meant to dangle a false victory to its allies seeing the inevitable debacle in Ukraine and an earlier embarrassing surrender in Afghanistan.

[ethanrichardson]

is it fair to ask, when are we going to get Putin a 🎽 shirtless statue within Nato's headquarter ?!

If you want to know the truth about NATO watch the movie The Whistleblower.
