  1. Why does Russia want the Baltic areas? Wouldn’t it be wise to look towards the Chinese areas so that they can get access to the other side of the world ?

  2. Can look all he wants but won’t do anything because of NATO no worries

  3. Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland be like “Come at us if you think you’re hard enough”.

    Jokes aside. That shit won’t go over well.

  4. That withered ballsack can keep his eyes on Gotland. He ain’t ever getting his hands on it!

  5. Gotland is like a well-placed, unsinkable aircraft carrier. It’s importance for NATO cannot be denied. We need to protect it.

  6. Is everyone ensuring they have enough defensive ability to Russia would have no chance? Or is everyone still in wishful thinking making comments mode only to scramble if it everyone happens.

    Is the West ramping up production and their own inventory? I would hope we would have enough to last a multi year full on war.

  7. Yeah I want a Got girl too Putin, but we can’t always get what we want

  8. Putin doesnt want gotland, just likes putting the wind up try-hards. Politico also has a wide-on for stoking the fire. Would take this with a pinch of salt

  9. I guess we need to put up some more of those enter if you’re gay signs in the water.

  10. Even if the russians were able to get around all the aircraft, submarines and whatnot in the Baltic Sea, Gotland has a full armoured brigade stationed on the island. It’d take more than a few spetsnaz in unmarked uniforms to capture it.

  11. I knew that Swedes are dumb idiots, but not to such extent… wowwww

  12. Russia would need to conduct an amphibious landing to take Gotland.. If they lost their Black Sea fleet to a country without a navy, what exactly is their Baltic fleet gonna do against a navy with some of the most sophisticated ships in the world. I honestly think the Gotland, Halland and Uppland submarines alone would stop them before they even exit Kaliningrad.

    And that is *without* taking NATO in consideration.

  13. Shouldn’t have pushed Sweden into NATO membership then…

  14. One thing you should know about military people – they always want war and they’re always fearmongering. Read about the Cuban Crisis for a great example of how every single military leader on both sides proved to be an absurdly dumb trigger happy lunatic.

  15. Germany also borders the Baltic, its patience would run dry, fast!

  16. Let’s be honest, with how big Russia is its already got land
