    Sweden has become SERIOUS about the current
    instabilities. Just recently sent all citizens
    a "What To Do IF ..." manual.

    Of course all their imported Islamists will
    KILL them to please Vlad .........

    Well, despite the physical size, it is not a
    very populous country. The mil stuff it has
    appears to be top rate, but there's no way
    for it to stand up to a Russian invasion.

    But does Russia really have to invade the whole
    place to achieve strategic goals ? The narrow
    passage between Sweden and Denmark controls
    sea access to the Baltic. Even a small force,
    or a couple of subs, could take and hold the
    area for awhile at least.

    That's the point of alliances.  You don't need to be the biggest guy
    in the room.  Your brother got your back and your cousin got your
    enemy's.  What would Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland be
    doing to the Russian rear?

    THAT is why alliances are so important.  Broad based, deeply agreed
    upon, being friends . . . that will keep us more secure than all the
    guns ever made.

    You don't attack your *friends*.  That is the core of Pax Americana
    that MAGAs don't seem to get.

       But does Russia really have to invade the whole
       place to achieve strategic goals ? The narrow
       passage between Sweden and Denmark controls
       sea access to the Baltic.

    And how are the Russians to reach the straits when they're blockaded
    from the Gulf of Finland, trapped in Petrograd.

    Even a small force,
       or a couple of subs, could take and hold the
       area for awhile at least.

    Meanwhile, what would Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland
    be doing to the Russian rear?



    nice idea but way too late ,
    the places that are not liked now ,
    are going to stay that way for a long time

    Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania ... they're gonna be
    shitting their pants, not putting up real resistance
    to Russian forces. Poland will be covering it's
    own ass. Finland ... MIGHT try something but they
    don't have enough people.

    Russia is weaker than you think, but then, so are we.

    The poster is a terrified conspiracy 'researcher' who thinks
