Yes. I am sure all the same people who until 24 Feb 2022 smugly assured us Puin would never really invade Ukraine because it's not in his interest, will all push back on this scenario as well.
An aging autocrat might find it precisely in his interest to go for broke.

Important. And those "paranoid Eastern Europeans" were right once again.

Because you think it's enough to issue a "tough statement".
This is Foreign and Security policy as a text-drafting process.
... and taking "The pen is mightier than sword" a little too literally.

Which for 30 years is what I have been saying how these four countries were viewed...
Until Sweden re-branded one of them.
"We are not the northernmost Baltic country, we are the Easternmost Nordic country" -- president Halonen in 2008 on why Finland wouldn't support Georgia.

Oh, this is just charming:
Germany gave sensitive data on NATO in the Baltic Sea to Russia for the "strictly commercial" (as Merkel, Steinmaier and indeed the entire

I'd be blunter than the good General:
If in fact the goal of the US were the victory of Ukraine, it would be giving ATACMS. A implies B.
Not B, in this case, implies not A.

"...you actually type out the sentence: ‘The pain and loss of the war in Ukraine are felt most profoundly in small Russian villages’.
How? How can a professional journalist - or anyone with sense - not realise how dumb that sounds before hitting publish?"

They're already excluded from the Club of Berne, where EU (plus NO and CH) security police exchange counter-intelligence information.
Austria is simply not trusted with even the low-grade intel the EU shares.

Everything indicates a Chinese ship damaged Baltic pipeline on purpose, Finland says.
‘I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,’ says minister.

Hilgavad võrgutasud, jah, aga mida nende eest tehakse?

Nagu NSVLis, talve lumi on ootamatu nähtus.

Funny, 25 years ago as head of SAK he said publicly that Estonia should not be allowed into the EU because Estonians would immigrate to Finland.
