Putin backtracks on NATO threat: "no problem" if Finland and Sweden join NATO. "Up to them. They can join whatever they want" | |

"Up to them. They can join whatever they want" Neither Finland or Sweden ever wanted to join NATO before Putin invaded Ukraine and became worried that they might be next. They likely never would have. By starting his war in Ukraine, Putin made them do what he really, REALLY never wanted to happen. |

"Up to them. They can join whatever they want" Russia has "no problem" if Finland and Sweden join NATO, President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 82734922 "We don't have problems with Sweden and Finland like we do with Ukraine," Putin told a news conference in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat. "We don't have territorial differences," the Russian leader continued. "There is nothing that could bother us about Sweden and Finland joining NATO. If Finland and Sweden wish to, they can join. That's up to them. They can join whatever they want." [link to en.royanews.tv (secure)] You left out the other half of what he said. He said join NATO, no problem - BUT - if you start moving NATO weaponry into your country, be prepared for us to do something about it. Right, before it was "if you join NATO, we will eliminate you". Now it's: "Up to you. You can join NATO. But if you move NATO weapons in, we will eliminate you". That's just another bluff. Putin isn't dumb enough nor is his ego even big enough to actually attack a NATO country and then receive the full force of the combined military force of all NATO countries. After almost five months, he still can't defeat the Ukrainian military. Nobody takes him seriously on these threats any more. You are dummy fool. You know nothing |

"Up to them.

Quoting: Oldren Doom on. What Putin meant was, being part of NATO legally by itself poses no threat to Russia, the actual threat is the placement of nuclear weapons and air defence systems giving NATO a strategic edge over Russia. Obviously, that is the inevitable result of joining NATO, what Putin is saying is once NATO equipment starts building up in Finland and Sweden thats when Russia will respond but for now, there will be nothing as there is no strategic threat. |
