Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev is warning Russia could deploy nuclear weapons to the Baltic area if Sweden and Finland be part of NATO. His feedback come at some point after the prime ministers of Sweden and Finland spoke collectively about presumably becoming a member of the navy alliance — a transfer many thought was unthinkable earlier than Russia invaded Ukraine. Agnes Hellström, president of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, calls the NATO debate in Sweden “slender,” saying “it’s been the one choice offered to us by the media,” and calls the proposed answer a “reflex” constructed up from a “massive quantity of concern after the invasion of Ukraine.”

You woke Democracy now your weak weak walk over and give up Your passive gesture is going to get everybody killed Putin feeds off of it
We've been hearing this narrative of "safety" since early 2000's. You tried it. You pleased Russia. How did it work out ?
I suspect Agnes is a socialist and what do socialists celebrate? Failure!
I love peace activists, I understand where they are coming from, and their intentions are good. But the world is a shady place full of shadier people, who look at them and see an opportunity to manipulate and subjugate.
Sometimes only might brings peace, and with someone like Putin that is all that will work.
I would not listen to him. Make your own choices. He would not have time to strike everyone before retaliation and anhilating his Country.

By her logic WWII was immoral because defensive violence is immoral and people should have appeased Hitler and simply surrendered to the Nazis, what a genius.
"Si vis pacem, para bellum"
"If you want peace, prepare for war"
-Roman general Vegetius in book Epitoma Rei Militaris
Nobody wanted the war except Putin so the best thing we can do to keep the peace is by joining DEFENSIVE military alliance. Nato is useless unless someone attacks it, not vice versa.
Finally, someone speaking the truth.
Sweeden is already the safest country in the world. Joining NATO is completely pointless!
Peace at any price generally costs the lives of the peaceful people.
Two women who could start a nuclear war.
What an insane channel this is.
a rapper from Nigeria said enslave all white people and treat them worse than slaves he was in Sweden and is a rapper is faces 0 consequences Swedes never owned slaves by the way
One powerful country stand up to the oppreser in this world….
Peace through superior firepower! I hate to say that. They can always leave NATO in the future if they feel the situation dictates.
I Agree.
Russia has a right to defend itself. Finland is provoking them and will deserve all consequences. Good luck.
Thinking of Cuba. It seems to be the same for Russia.
shut up !!!!!
If Finland 🇫🇮 Joins NATO, Finland will be the next Ukraine 🇺🇦
America is extracting protection Money from Europe in the garb of NATO. Members are actually paying protection Money 💲.
Why shouldn't UNO negotiate a settled amount rest of the world pays to America to ensure warless world?
All talk is nonsense. Meanwhile 6 million females and kids have become refugees.
Finland is indeed a last bastion of bestiality. Here a person can have sex with an animal as long as the animal is not harmed. 🤮
Turkey can veto. They need to end the Pkk existence.
It has been a practical policy to not join during peace time, while assuming Russia is a country that listens to reason. It has become obvious this is not the case. Russia does not aspire to be a democratic nor peaceful country. They do not think they can flourish by playing fair. This is exactly the right time to join, if only to send a message to Putin.
Its reasonable for Sweden and Finland to join NATO after seeing what is happening in Ukraine. It's important that EU has the majority decision making regarding war in their countries. The UnUnited States of Americas Military will only escalate their conflict. We have all been saying this from the beginning of the conflict, well those of us who havent been censored by the Pentagon or Homeland Securities Censorship Board.
Untill nato exist there will be no peace on earth
Looklike Finland govt and sweden govt are against the people of dpr and lpr forces from independence against thier nazi Kiev regime…
People must protest…act now against your govt
Finland Sweden and russia have healthy relation donr get delusional by garbage nato.
Atleast Sweden and Finland must take pro active steps against this evil org called NATO…wrong decision and not healthy for the world..
I appreciate your stand like india
India support this stand of neutrality and independence .be a leader not sheep like nato.
Thank god we have more smart people like her and hope more people her come out from Finland and Sweden..do not patronize them.
O sancta simplice! The amount of naivety!
Russia, Putain, makes the world less safe. And nothing implies that things will get any better after Putain. The next Russian president can be as or more aggressive. Hard against hard is the only way with Russia. That's the only language they understand.
In 2014, Crimea, the west was soft in it's response, and here we are now, or should I say in Ukraine Russian Army is now.
Baby boomers have been destroying the world and now they going to finish the job👏👏👏👏
Nuclear war is nigh
Thatcher was the only lady leader with Iron.
All these current ones are full of fear.
less safe ? sounds like what russian propeghanda would say. the fact is the world will be more safer, not less safer.
Thank you Ms Hellström. Two women… it does not make their decisions bette. Actually they should know better. They don't! Look how Mr Kekkonen spoke to Russia. And what happened? They lived peacefully until today.
1. Joining nato allows nations to build less weapons as they share defenses.
2. NATO is defensive and by joining you actually prevent wars.
3. Russia will eventually invade neighbor countries not in NATO.
Don’t fall for russian propaganda Agnes. Don’t be a Putin tool. Spend your energy getting russia out of ukraine if you really want peace.
EU morons, usa has pulled you in the confrontation with russia. Your economy now will go down due to rising prices on oil, gas, fertilizers ets. You have lost russian market having given it to the south-east asia. Finland is happy to join nato and usa nuks will be placed there. It will not save finns from russian nuks! It means that russian nuclear missiles will be pointed on finland! It means that some aims in usa will be switched off! USA provokes wars around the world and shifts russian missiles to the eu! You overstrain russia and eu and shift off russian missiles from you to eu. Bravo usa! Excelent politic!
Russia: I'm so desperate id better warn the world that I'll use nuclear weapons bc I started a war that I'm losing. Got to laugh at the stupidity. Feminist: Is really important that I let you know that I'm a feminist…hmm Swedish Mausers rifles were made for Germany weren't they during the second world war so how has Sweden ever been neutral…lol!
Telling to all folks of Finland and Sweden. Dont give your proud away to be a Fin and Swedish. Because when u join NATO its game over for u as a Fin and Swedish. Protest against it people of Sweden and Finland. These 2 women are weak thats why they wanna join. You will regret it believe
Sweden is unfit to join NATO.
NO A LA DEMOCRACIA…..RUSIA, TURQUIA, BIELORRUSIA…..SON CRIMINALES.
LA UNICA SOLUCION….PARAR A RUSIA Y PARA SIEMPRE, NATO SOMOS MAS…
Just because neutrality has served Sweden for over 200 years doesn't mean it will do so now….just because you've done something a certain way doesn't mean you should continue doing that if the situation changes which it has.
The bank puppet governments of Finland and Sweden aren’t asking the people if they want to participate in turning the world into a private central bank plantation.
Remember that "Neutral" Sweden sold the Nazis all the materials they asked for during WW2 while the Nazis were attacking the USSR.
A bunch of naive cowards I say. Neutrality isn’t peace because peace isn’t the state of the world and never has been WAR is. Neutrality is self preservation and as a nation allied with nato I’m tired of what’s looking more like selfishness from the parts of these countries.
There seems to be good arguments on both sides of joining/not joining. But there is no good arguments that this decision should not be up to the people in a "democratic" nation.
"DEATH" to communism.!!! and this site "REEKS" of it.!!!
Funny 2 watch Finland & Sweden panic after being so smug & pacifist not wanting 2 stick their necks out 4 anyone even during WW2 but enjoying protection due 2 neighboring countries…let them sweat awhile🤣. Ukraine is the main heroic country over there!
