Face it Putin baw. NATO would wipe Russia's military off of the map in very little time. It would be a bloodbath of dead Russian communists. And Putin knows it.

What bear? Russia?

another demonstration of a complete lack of the understanding of geopolitics..

It is a short border, with VERY inhospitable terrain. Easy to discount it.

I just watched Occupied on Netflix too, which is about a Russian invasion of post-NATO Norway.

Are you under some impression they plan to use nato for defense

When has NATO ever been offensive without UN approval/requesting?

NATO has become a useless organization. Not sure why it still exists.

I mean imagine how fricked the US would be without Ramstein Air Base alone.

only an uninhabitable sliver of Norway, and Turkeys border of the ---kygstans, none of which really count startegically.

the Obama Evil Empires expedition into Ukraine in fomenting coup and choosing its leaders is the only time.

The USA is basically threatened by the same Democrat Forces internally. IMO Russia has every right to resist these incursions by the Democrats and the WEF - and its not like they didnt express such for the last 10 years and the last 18 months actively.

The Democrat Party Evil Empire is a hostile bully.. wrecking other countries and its own internally...

Just looked it up.

Post-NATO version of EU backs Russia in invading Norway, because Norway stopped oil production needed by EU nations. Russia to ramp production back up. Interesting.

People forget that the US and Russia also share a maritime border, and the closest point between the two countries is a strait of less than 3 miles. SNL Sarah Palin jokes aside, that strait freezes in winter, and you can walk from Alaska to Russia.

Because both sides want to grow US influence in the world.

Or maybe these countries don't want the Ukraine treatment?
