I noticed @0007 already posted a mention of this story earlier.

I just found a different source talking about both Finland and Sweden aim to both apply to Nato in mid to late May together.

Surely a May the 9th joining date would be the most trollish, being Russia Day..

Putin and the united russia backroom boys seem intent in attempting to get a rise out of the US. The rapid arm waving also shows two things - the EU is moving correctly to appear stronger and there is a build up to the May 9th when I'd assume Putin wants to call for all out cold-war footing to protect the motherland.

Whilst it's amazing to see this pretty much live.... why they keep giving away that they can do things like this publically is beyond me. Just keep it to yourselves, and profit.

I'm guessing at this point measures are being taken to prevent it being used against them rendering it less useful until they find the next vulnerability. Otherwise would seem odd to be open about it.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, if you blow the bridge this just makes the Russians more determined to keep the land route to Crimea open - it removes the option of Russia "completing" it's special operation and reverting back to the pre-war position; if Ukraine and sanctions hurt enough, this might be Russia's way out of the war. Cutting the bridge compels them to fight on - in the short term it helps, but what is the effect on the bigger picture.

Not sure Russia will look for a way out of this war as people are hoping/expecting. If they are losing that badly they will probable turn to scorched earth one way or another.

Maybe it's all a double bluff created by the west to make Russians looks ridiculous :D if so, we've been doing a hell of a lot of it to them.

What is interesting is that there seem to be two levels of Russian FM communications - a general principled 'lavrov' and a 'lavrov' that sounds more like North Korea. I still wonder why they report anything w.r.t negotiations given Putin's demands seem to be (a) give me country and people to execute and (b) no negotiations until military has achieved point (a) and Putin approves the end of military action with a Treaty of Putin's own demands that he would then expect the west to sign (they wont) so the Cold War remains. This assumes Putin holds onto wins.

It seems from Lavrov that Puin is attempting to bring china's "internal problem" with Taiwan into the mix which means India (as a Russia-China-India-SA) partner will be expected to be drawn into it. Probably would be good if the Japanese islands that Russia annexed started having problems in the same way that Russia near Ukraine has. No formal action but it would distract the Russian military.

*Japan Prime Minister Kishida To Hold Talks With Ukraine President Zelenskiy Over Phone On Tuesday Evening


Issue here is the laundering of cash. Grain purchased becomes Rupees that could be used to purchase Rubles and thus provide support for Putin's activities. I suspect the "help India develop their own fighters" line that Boris has stated also reflects not providing the UK arms (ie UK intel point about arms to russia) that could be used in Ukraine. Politically India's military is part of the Ru-Cn-In-Sa pact, although legally it may not require India to backup Russia or China in internal 'disputes' or 'special operations' that aren't declared war.

Finally. Been a long wait. People here in finland are now wondering why on earth we didn't joing Nato earlier? And to be honest, we should have been Nato members for like 20 years now. Of course Putins message is, there would be military consequences if Finland is to join Nato.

Anyway there's finnish news available also in english from YLE News ( it's like BBC but ofc a lot smaller, have its own tv production too etc.)

FM: No point delaying Nato membership bid
