Yes, much before.

And Sweden has the green light to become the 32nd member of NATO.

Seems like Putin's plan is back firing here.

The announcement that Sweden will now become the 32nd member of NATO pretty much closes the lid on any prospects Putin had of a) weakening NATO after launching his "special operation", and b) posing any great threat to Europe as a whole in the future.

Sweden now has much greater security being teamed with the largest military alliance in the world, while making a significant contribution to NATO forces as well. Sweden's strength comes from their mastery of technology. Particularly, in three key elements of warfare: speed, surveillance, and stealth. Besides having a formidable ground force the Swedish Air Force today stands as one of the finest and most modern in the world.

I'm sure Lukashenko is delighted at the news...LOL.

Also, if they drop boxed sets of Abba on the Russian forces they'll be unable to resist the urge to dance rendering them incapable of mass slaughter of civilians.

As well as Ukraine, two other NATO partner countries have declared their wish for NATO membership: Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Georgia (which has a border with Russia).

[Dodger]

Over a year already and they still haven't found those dam Nazi's yet...go figure.

I imagine they could have all fled to places like Kazakhstan and /or Mongolia disguised as Russian migrant workers, or maybe even crossed into Belarus to join forces with their fellow inmates in the Wagner Group. Who knows!

In any event it's hard to imagine how Putin will ever rest easy knowing that all those Nazi's are still running around loose.

You promised that 1 year ago. Your forecasts are based on random numbers generator As I told - no chance for that yeaк ago, even now it is quite questionable.

What are you talking about? Putin's goal was to weaken NATO, if not straight out invade various European countries. Instead, the NATO-Russia border has more than doubled since the beginning of the Ukraine war.
