Putin warns Finland has 'made a mistake' after country's president tells him they WILL join NATO – despite Russian threat it could wipe them and Britain out in SECONDS with nukes - as Lavrov says 'total hybrid war' has been declared
2022-05-15
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • Putin: 'Abandoning [...] neutrality would be a mistake since there are no threats to Finland's security'

  • Russia's attack dog foreign minister Sergei Lavrov slammed 'cancel culture' and 'caveman's Russophobia'

  • 'The collective West has announced a total hybrid war on us. The consequences will be felt by everybody'

  • '[Sec Gen] Stoltenberg, through the mouth of Liz Truss, say NATO has responsibility for global security'

  • Finnish President Niinistö told Putin about NATO plans in 'direct and straightforward' phone call this morning

  • Pro-Putin MP fumed: 'If Finland wants to join this bloc, then our goal is absolutely legitimate - to question the existence of this state. This is logical.'

  • He added that the US would be reduced to 'nuclear ashes' if it 'threatens' the Russian state

#20  $60 billion: "baaa-baaa Black Sheep, have you any wool?

"$20B for the [Lockheed-Raytheon-Boeing] 'master'...

"$20B for the [Kolomoisky-Zelensky-other bandits] 'dame'...

"And $20B for the little Biden-spawn crackhead who lives down the Hollywood Boulevard..."

#19  You see, the people in charge now don't see war as a means to an end. War is the end in itself.

Stomping that thinking out will be a chore.

#18  ^ ... 'cause you're an old Cold Warrior fossil whose time passed 30 years ago, Fred.

Go gentle into that good night.

Please stop fucking up our generation's world by re-fighting your wars of the last century.

Russia is not our enemy. The enemy that truly threatens American freedom and prosperity in this, OUR century, is mot Russia but CHINA.

CHINA.

Step aside, old cold warriors. Wrong century.

#14  Afghanistan should have gotten rid of the Taliban before they staged 9/11.

KSA should have gotten rid of bin Laden before he masterminded 9/11.

Germans should not have let Hitler come to power.

And so on...

#13  Is Putey Poot going to throw poo?

Russia needs to flush this turd. On their own. It's NOT OUR JOB. If he attacks us, we can remove them from existence, but til then, the Russian people are the ones in the hot seat.

Stop mistaking the clowns on TV for the entire nation.

#9  How is that bowing down to Putin. Sounds like Dale hit the nail on the head.

#8  The left is infatuated with tribalism. They may not dig which tribe comes out on top.

#7  Yes, Dale, it's all over. We may as well follow you in bowing down to Putin.

*yawn*

#6  The cold war has returned. The red line Putin has drawn is no liberal minded woke response. He will follow thru on his concerns. China and many other countries are right there with him. I see no extensive support or coordination offered to return balance. It appears to me to be very unbalanced at this time. Money and the tools of war will not win against true power developing on the side of nationalism. Think about it. Western countries divided internally. Nationalism is fading fast. The glue that holds a country together.

#5  The current conflict in Ukraine could have been on the docket for quite some time. Vlad's medical condition may have simply prompted him to hit 'fast forward.'

Putin is being treated for Cancer.

Being a Communist, he has zero religious taught morals. Just a strong belief in the Communist Manifesto.

So starting WW-III is something he could do w/o personnel Religious or Moral conflicts.

#1  Go all out on nukes or shut the fuck up and get rid of your "leaders" Russia. Those are your only choices.
