US Ready to Provide Military Support to New NATO Hopefuls

The United States is prepared, if needed, to provide Sweden and Finland with military support as these countries await NATO’s response to their membership applications, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby has said.

On Sunday both Finland and Sweden formally announced their intention to join NATO, despite multiple warnings from Russia. Moscow, which considers NATO expansion as a direct threat to its own security, has previously pledged to take adequate measures in response.

In a BBC interview which was recorded on Friday and broadcast on Sunday, Kirby said that Russia’s warnings are “clearly concerning.”

“But it is not up to Russia to determine whether Finland and Sweden become NATO allies, it’s up to the people of Finland and the people of Sweden,” the US military spokesman said.

Good morning Patriots 🇺🇸

“John Durham has already won”

What a headline to wake up to on a beautiful Monday morning!

If they think what they’ve seen so far is winning, they are going to be shedding massive amounts of liberal tears in the not-so-distant future. LFG!!!

Sweden’s prime minister announced Monday that Sweden will join Finland in seeking NATO membership in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The historic shift, which comes after more than 200 years of military nonalignment in the Nordic country, is likely to upset Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Good! I hope @realGenFlynn is successful in his lawsuit. What our government put him through is nothing short of criminal.
