I’ve lost count now many times people have insinuated something like that.

Let’s do it like this. Anyone of you can prove i’m Russian or have any kind of connection other than your imagination l, feel free to prove it. Any kind of actual proof will suffice, but I bet I can prove I’m as English as any other person on here far quicker ;).

I couldn't care less where you're from to be honest, just stop with the what-about-ism - everyone stopped caring 400 pages ago. NATO, the US, the UK have done some horrible **** in the past, we get it, but it doesn't make what is going on now any less important or relevant. If you actually think it does then I'm sorry I wasted a single minute of my life replying to you.
 
Can Nato fast track countries as new members if they want to? Like make exceptions/new rules in extreme times such as these I wonder? Maybe the thinking is that if a country applies to become a Nato member, Russia attack them and take over before the application gets completed. I'm sure I read becoming a member is a long thing usually taking years?

Yes they probably have clauses for special circumstances to do exactly this

I personally would like to see us fast track Finland right now and call Russia on their bluff or not, question is does NATO have the stomach to call that bluff

It doesn't matter. If Finland were to join now the snowball (If it hasn't already) will start to roll towards a world war scenario.
 
Feeling quite happy we have Trident right about now, OK, it's bad news if we have to use it, but at least we can go down fighting.

(Not that I think it'll happen)

It is weird to comprehend the point of that though. Is it so important to Russia to have a few of the old soviet states back, that they are willing to destroy the world, themselves and everyone in it for them?

Just seems so pointless.

Yeah things will have to get very bad globally for us to have to resort to those sorts thing.
But still reassuring to know we have it there to deter most threats to begin with.

Russias statement was military action should they join NATO, if they join and are attacked, it is an attack on NATO no ?

He has not attacked or threatened an existing NATO country. I don't know about if's and buts in the future. It's not set in stone.

Blimey - you're back in the thread with a vengance.

Have you been able to show any evidence of you delivering on your promise to eat humble pie after the last bout of shonky analysis you kept hammering turned out to be such complete garbage:

Doobedoo said:
Not really been following this as I generally avoid the news if I can help it, but as expected a whole load of noise being made about nothing.

Perhaps some of you should try weaning off it for awhile. Sure you may get some form of withdrawal symptoms, but in the long run your be healthier for it.

You can’t avoid it completely it’s rammed down your throats all day everyday.

But it like deja vu I swear we had this same ‘crisis’ a few years ago. Russian army amassed on Ukrainian border preparing to invade imminently. Yawn.

They are on there own land. Free to run military training exercises.

If they invade I’ll eat humble pie. If they don’t… Well I like pie :D

Dude c’mon the crimea situation had a little bit more involved with it than merely an unprovoked invasion. Like I said if Russia is going to invade let me know when it happens…. For real though

Doobedoo said:
But it’s all speculation though. As I said Russia are not fools they know how the west would react no amount of posturing and threats from west would change that.

It’s not going to happen not before not now. It was supposed to happen last night, now it’s after the olympics. Then when the next blood moon? Someone I suspect was closest when they said it’s just postering by tow high school jocks. Sorry

Doobedoo said:
Any military training exercises cost money. It will be costing other to react too obviously.

What do they benefit in going to war with the west? Because that’s what invasion will entail and that hasn’t changed since 2014 or post cold war

Then come find me when the invasion finally starts and I’ll give a big dollop of humble pie. Until then…

I only ask because it was so brazen, and the speed at which you've come back and carried on is so utterly shameless.
 
Fast tracking Finland into NATO (if they wanted to) would be an interesting one... And unlike Sweden they do almost meet the 2% defence spending guideline. Then again if we just wait it out a bit Putin might be taken down from inside before too long, so we wouldn't have to play chicken with him on the topic of Finland.
