In response to the Russian aggressions. Putin for example say that we and Finland cant join NATO even if we want to.

Gotland is located East of mainland Sweden and is an important strategic position in the Baltic sea.

So soldiers and military vehicles like tanks are patrolling now.

Putin need to accept that the Soviet Union collapsed. He seems unable to do so.

Yeah, I read something about it. And NATO has apparently sent a military ship which is now outside Bornholm.

Last time I checked, Russia is economically equivalent to Texas

I wonder which win a war, Texas or Russia, with what is currently inside their own borders sans nukes, because that's never fun

But whenever I see Russia on the move, I pretend its Texas and it seems to make the threat feel more manageable. Not because Texas is a whim, but because Russia is bolstered in the minds of people

Russia has stated for years that the Baltic States (Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania) have no right to exist free of Russian rule or at least influence. Putin is super fucking butthurt that they are in NATO.

Unfortunately Ukraine is not, and thus are going to end up occupied since the US assurances from the Budapest Agreement are worth fuck all.

Realistically, even if Russia were to invade the Baltic States, NATO's response won't be fast enough to stop Russian occupatation. Which means now you have to choose between allowing it to continue or fighting a long, bloody, and expensive war to get them out. I assure that the US has zero interest in it, since we just got out of two failed wars, which is why Putin is doing this shit now.

I don't know what you were checking but that would be vastly wrong. Russia is one of the strongest economies in the world--they control the gas lines to pretty much all of Eastern and some of Western Europe, and that's just gas...

Not to be a Russia apologist or anything, I don't like them. But we've been spying on them for quite a while. Just saying that as far as klsupning goes, we're not innocent.

Doubt there's much to the provocations though. Feels unlikely that they'd want a serious conflict up here while also doing their shit in Ukraine, meddling in Kazakhstan, etc.

We can debate whether it is right to spy, but when you have an aggressive and unpredictable giant in the vicinity it makes sense to try to keep track of their planning and actions The submarine incident during the Cold War must have given the military a lot of free reign from our politicians.

And now we have two Russian ships between land and Gotland. For the non-Swedes: those two islands are Swedish and the big landmass to the left is mainland Sweden.

Oh yeah! I'm not saying it's right or wrong. Point is just that there's always a risk we piss them off, or they use it as an excuse to mess with us.

I bet we piss them off a bit more than the average case given how we're inching closer to NATO. But yeah, I don't see a way to be neutral towards them really.

True. Not really a good solution out of this, as Russia seems hellbent on doing what they want and will try to force the situation to justify it even if they are fully aware no one will by it - which does make you wonder why they want the pretence of "not being the aggressor" when it will change nothing if they do eventually act.

Lol, some serious "why do you make me beat you" logic here. Maybe Russia should be a better neighbor, then maybe people would go to them instead of NATO for alliances.
