    Sweden have been neutral since 1814 so it's over 200 years, but having a neighbor as Russia makes you think about tradition.
  • @ChuckyRed06
    Dont interrupt your enemy as they continue to make the same mistakes
  • @sebastiaanl9876
    So Russia capture Crimea to have a Black Sea port but in few years they won’t even have a navy left.. pointless
  • @IainHC1
    This is so direct!! I could listen to this bloke all day!!
  • Its brilliant. All Russian bots should look into a Russian cruise in the black sea.
  • @user-tu9wi7zd5r
    Our answer to Putin should just be that we have no uninvited troops in Ukraine.

    He is slowly falling on his sword ! Thats the snag with totalitarian regimes you dont get quality people in the places that matter such as Generals and Ships Captains/Admirals all you get is people that tell you everything is great etc...
  • The strategic genius has not only lost dominance in the Baltic he is on his way to losing dominance in the western Black Sea and eventually losing dominance on all of the Black Sea.

    All viking families united under NATO 💪

    Russia never had Baltic Sea dominance. Who controls the straits between Denmark and Sweden has the control of Baltic Sea. Also, Sweden and Finland always had 10x more anti ship missiles compared to Russian navy fleet size. Now that Finland and Sweden brought NATO air dominance to the whole of Baltic Sea region... Russia has nothing but their cargo ship anchors and their unfiltered sewage from St Petersburg.
  • Don’t worry about losing the Baltic Vlad, you still have the Black Sea. Oh, wait a minute.. 😁

    European artillery producers are still shipping a large percentage of their production to international buyers, instead of to Ukraine. Why are the leaders of these nations not stepping in to put a pause on fulfilling orders destined for Asia, Africa and the Middle East?

    Macron was giving Putin something to think about just as Putin, mentioning nuclear weapons, is constantly giving the west something to think about.
  • He forgot to mention that Sweeden makes ultra silent submarines. Not even us navy could detect them during exercises😊

    Saab (the car company), no longer exists. And auto manufacturer was spilt from the aircraft manufacturer decades earlier.
