How come Boris always looks like he combed his hair with a rock?

[maysonbanal]

Nice move Sweden, Finland and UK, One for all, All for One.

[wintersawaking]

This is great for both Sweden and the UK, especially with the threat of nuclear weapons from Russia, don't forget we have some nuclear weapons of our own for Putin here in the UK.

[varyolla]

Good. Finland and Sweden are long standing responsible countries. While admittedly they should have joined NATO long ago = they should now do so as expeditiously as possible. The sad Ukraine affair holds an important lesson = "hope" does not last long in international affairs. So long as there are totalitarian regimes in the world - so long as eventually one causes trouble for others. They can not help themselves as it is the "nature of the beast" so to speak. The best defense is and has always been = lots of allies.

Well done, even before sweden and finland becomes part of NATO they already have a article 5 from NATO via UK.. 👍

Let's do WW3!!! What could go wrong???

[arcticfox]

This is like the days and events leading up just before WW I all over again.

" We have subs and planes and missiles where you would never know they are, and they are bigger, faster and more accurate than yours, so don't talk nuclear with us" --President DJ TRUMP to Putin.

[jajanpasar]

This is like making a fishing rod so that when something happens in Sweden which incidentally is a non-aligned country that joined NATO is attacked NATO will join the war.
Why did Sweden, also peaceful Finland become a battlefield???

UK did, however, win two world wars. Strength of the current British army is about 110, 000. During the first war, British army had 3.8 million men. Of that – supply of 1.7 million troops, food and military hardware came from India. In the second war- British army was 4-5 million strong. Of that, India supplied 2.5 million troops, food stuff, and military hard wares. Acquisition of food stuff for the British army- during second world war, starved five million people of Bengal to death in 1943. Anglo-American west ignores and censors such facts to magnify their heroism and superiority. As ordinary human beings and victors they can’t be expected to behave otherwise. Here the behavior and reaction of the vanquished and the subjugated of Indian subcontinent must be noted. Facts just pointed out are hardly ever mentioned or discussed in the circle of school curriculum, history, politics, media, cultural circles etc. Governments of former colonies are being run by the “Imported Government” against whom Imran Khan of Pakistan seems to be taking a stand. A phenomenon seen in South Asia for the first time in 75 years. It is essential that critics of Anglo-American Imperialism extend their efforts to activate the exploited human resources of South Asia whose human and natural resources were and still is the source of Imperial power of Anglo-American west. Why not we work together to mobilize series of independent social media outside monopoly capitalist with explicit purpose of cutting across language and technological barrier and reach out to those who suffer most to satisfy interest of the military industrial complex.

Uh, did anyone tell Sweden about Boris Johnson? And why is Finland been left out of this?

Hopefully we'll manage to put the Soivets back into the history books where they belong, and this time for good. Fingers crossed.
