Putin once again outplayed himself/Getty Images
Sweden and Finland have officially applied to NATO. Putin again outplayed everyone.
Putin's achievements that will go down in history
1. The Swedish army is the eighth strongest among the NATO countries in Europe. Finland – the fifteenth. In total, there are more than 50 thousand fighters. It is important that the armies are combat-ready, because they were not part of NATO and could only rely on their own forces.
2. The Baltic Fleet of Muscovy, already very vulnerable due to the control of exits from Russian ports by NATO countries, has finally lost its raison d'être. Now completely the entire coast of the Baltic Sea is controlled by NATO countries.
3. The land border of Muscovy with NATO has increased by 1,500 km.
4. From the NATO border to Murmansk – 100 kilometers. Rich in strategic resources and partially cut off from Muscovy geographically with the entry into the Alliance of Finland The Kola Peninsula with its ports became vulnerable.
Putin's entourage was blown away
The most important thing. Everyone is already deeply on the drum in the opinion of Muscovy. No one is afraid of Putin or his pets like Medvedev and their threats anymore.
The countries of Europe have freed themselves from the fear of the horde and are doing what they see fit. Like it, don't like it, be patient my beauty. Yes, honey?
