Obsessed? No. As the implications of this interference are profound, determined it not be denied, ignored or forgotten? Yes. Those who receive succour from our enemies need to be exposed for the traitors they truly are. Nice post presidency billion deal. But I'm sure it's all above board, and based on its merits: [Link] But it didn't happen in Ukraine and Tucker Carlson didn't mention it, so it doesn't count! Though primarily, it's a political problem, rather than a party problem. The more polarised politics become the more rife this stuff is. Edited by BlueJay (14 Apr 2022 6.16pm)

I don't think Finland will join NATO. All I care about is not dying because of idiot politicians and their bad strategies.

I heard both Finish and Swedish politicians talking on Radio 4 yesterday as though it is a near certainty both their countries will join by the middle of this year. The Swedish decision hinges on the Finish one, but they are clearly in very close discussions over this. I should imagine that in reality all that matters is what the Pentagon thinks. As for you I guess you want to play chicken with nuclear war. Personally I don't. I see no benefit in enlarging NATO. I only see the benefit in de-escalation. We shall see.

The Democrats, from Clinton to Biden are more immersed in foreign corruption and money than Trump could ever dream of. Yet you only have eyes for Trump....you waffled about him for years and nothing came of it. As I told you it wouldn't. All you have is waffle. Putting it very politely, that's piffle. The assertions about Clinton's and Biden's "corruption" are simply right-wing propaganda. If there is evidence, let it be presented and let due process deal with it. Some of Trump's associates were jailed. He was let off the hook, firstly by Barr, and then by the Republican Senators. Trump's time will come. Trump resists justice with every trick in the book. Plausible deniability and refusal to co-operate being the principal methods, but his crimes will catch up with him. As I have told you many times, you need to be patient. His only escape is that which saved Jimmy Savile, a man who he shares at least one characteristic with.

Finland and Sweden joining Nato would decrease, not increase, the possibility of nuclear war. Both countries have strong, well-trained and well-equipped militaries. They would strengthen Nato's capacity to defend the Baltic States significantly, alongside giving both countries the reassurances of Nato's support for them if attacked. The whole point is to deter Russian expansionism, and in so doing the risk of any nuclear escalation decreases.

It's literally why we are where we are.

I think you are completely correct, Russia know they cant beat America, so that is the deterrent

As I see no relationship at all in your reply to that which I wrote, there is no confirmation. Unless you are suggesting that Trump, Brexit and Le Pen are all "useless". I see no relation between what you write and reality.

Poland has a border with Kaliningrad, which is Russian Federation Territory.
