Some errors. The submarine in your animation comes from St Petersburg, not Kaliningrad. Your red coastal line goes across Kaliningrad which is part of Russia. Submarines can go from Kaliningrad to Denmark without going through NATO, so what you said isn't true.
The line is red because the port of Kaliningrad is not safe now Polish waters that they have sensors that can pick it up. Also if it leaves that port, satellites see it, it is obviously going somewhere, and there is no where it can go undetected. Though you're right the line is wrong and one would expect better from a news org.
NATO was created against Soviet Union - Communist Expansionism . Since SU and Communism do not exist anymore, there is no real role for NATO. But US is using NATO to submerge Russia ...NATO was a total failure in Afghanistan the last 10+ years . They could not defeat Taliban which ironically the USA created during 79-89 against the Soviet-baked Kabul!
Yes its mindbuggling . All those joint manouvers and turks never seemed to bother before . As well as finnish and Swedish fighting with other natomembers i various conlictzones
In the past (not in the recent) Russia has also done training exercises with NATO. That alone does not make a country part of NATO... (Switzerland and Austria have trained NATO Specialists and heli pilots in mountain warfare and flying in mountinous regions for decades, doesn't make them NATO countries either. )
Think THE should get THE baltic states into nordefco meanwhile to slim Up defence in baltic sea . In THE Long run its all about money . Then IF Trump returns he aint gonna say - NATO is a RIP of
Sweden always has Finland's back and Finland does the same for Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania are the only true Balts in a linguistic sense but they always roll with Estonia and all three have a strong security relationship with all of the Nordic countries. The Baltics might be tiny but they punch above their weight and they form a potent bloc along with Poland (plus the rest of the Intermarium) and the Nordics.
Actually, Finland was a colony of Sweden for hundreds of years until Sweden lost the war to Russia and this territory became part of Russia. It was then that Finland appeared . Before that, there is no such country
Did you ever notice that most of the population in Finland speak English. I think they are very Western and looking toward the future while Russia dwells on the past!
@thetimekillerx What are you trying to say? Do you mean that countries which does not speak English language are non civilized? This thought shows how imperialist and racist you are. In the following countries people don't speak English or only hotel staff and tourist guides speak basic English the list is China, Gambia, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Uganda, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Spain, France, Georgia, Yemen, Chile, Albania, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Swaziland, Colombia, Tanzania many places in Japan and India, many more to list. Do you say people in these countries are non civilized. The reason for spread of English is not because of civilization it's because of cruel colonization of British, who invaded other countries and killed, looted, plundered, raped, slaved but you call themselves as civilized and others as non civilized, shame on you.
People must be constantly reminded that NATO is a defensive organization. If Russia were a good boy, no one would bother it. But Russian blood is rich with brutal imperialist ambitions and being peaceful to its small neighbors has been historically impossible to do.
You're so naive and brainwashed. All war departments are called defense departments. It doesn't mean it's for defense only. Lookup the wars NATO was involved in. These wars weren't defensive at all. How is Afghanistan a threat to NATO, yet NATO was in Afghanistan. And NATO was also in Iraq, where US lies about WMD bombed that place to the stone age and murdered millions. These actions aren't defensive.
@@bvang8370 Don't mix NATO with NATO members. Did NATO declare on Iraq or was it USA that did it? Australia was in it too so that's really not NATO. Then Afghanistan, did NATO attack or was it some terrorist thing that hit USA. Did NATO retaliate or was it USA and some of its allies?(all NATO members didn't attack). I do see Russia on one list when searching for that War. India, Russia and Iran supported it :D Get you facts straight, like who went into Afghanistan before that? Hmmm... let me think.... it starts with R.... what could it be?
@@amadeuz8161 You might have a look into International Law of Nations once You seem to have some respect for facts .... following that, Russia is the part rightfully supporting Syria's elected government. NATO are the terrorists there. You might have a look into any halfway decent list of 9/11 perpetrators .... no Afghans whatsoever, more Saudis than any other nationality - NATO and the US do support Saudis in destroying Yemen though for some reason .... And my country (Germany, NATO-vassall and U.S. outpost No. one in the world) was part of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan for 20 bloody years - while, following international Law of Nations, the Sovjet Red Army was, once more, invited/called for by the Afghan regime of 1978 which was about to build a laizist, socialist Nation while the US and NATO members fueled the civil war turning it into an international proxy war by supporting the very islamist terrorists with weaponry and intel they then started to oppress in the 20 years of occupation after the "vengeance bombing" of Afghanistan following the Saudi financed and organized attack of 9/11 in October 2001 ..... The facts aren't pretty, while they still are facts, and International Law of Nations _does_ have a factual paragraph for military support following an invitation/ask for said support from an elected government, while the same very international Law of Nations does not know "regime change" or supporting/weaponizing colorful terrorist groups and civil unrest like it happened in Ukraine in 2003/2004 and once more in 2013/2014, the latter widely known as "Euro-Maidan", which was a violent putsch then Vice President Joe B. orchestrated with the support of a lot of U.S. agencies and organizations like Soros' "open society foundation", an international terror-financing front office the U.S. services use in a lot of countries (also financing/organizing civil unrest against Lukaschenko in Belarus after his reelection in 2020 for example). We today even know (or could know, would we want to) _why_ then Vice President Joe B. organized the Oligarchs' putsch of 2014 once we look into his son Hunter's curriculum vitae and financial matters .... nothing whatsoever International Law of Nations would know of as legal or even legitimate acts, that mingling with local "interest groups" for an unfair share of the loot, to put it mildly ....
Excellent analysis of the real impact of Finland and Sweden joining NATO. I’ll start watching videos on Asia to get a better understanding of what is happening in India, China, etc.
The Baltic sea is pretty shallow but some salinity effects are making tracking submarines somewhat difficult. The Kola is where they have the big submarines and a lot of military installations so that may be more critical for Russia. Likely they will have no way to avoid secret rockets, cruise missiles, and drones launched from the rocks of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. NATO is for defense but in the Russian mindset, they will have to meet this challenge and pay the price which might be substantial.
@@mitchyoung93 Take a wider context and tell me you think the stop of the Serbian atrocities was not a good thing. It should have been done earlier and more forcefully. And then again Belgrade was not terror bombed as the Russians do. Still, it is correct to question some decisions but please be factual.
@@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286 1) Serbia was terror bombed at least as much as the Russians have done (I would argue most Russian strikes have been pintpoint). A civilian train was hit. Bridges were destroyed, the Chinese embassy hit etc. 2) 'Serbia atrocities' were grossly exaggerated, esp with regard to the 1999 NATO bombing (my main concern). In fact the KLA/UCK was in a war against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia forces and committed acts of terror on the internationally recognized territory of FRY. Yugoslavia responded with a conventional counter-insurgency campaign. Naturally people started moving out of the conflict zone, but this was spun as 'ethnic cleansing'. 3) I had a front seat view to all of this, NATO not only acted as the KLA/UCK strategic bomber command, but as the KLA/UCK tactical air arm.
@@mitchyoung93 The Serbian atrocities were sickening - and well documented. Russian bombing has been anything but 'pin point' - 30k civilians killed - or are you saying that Putin aimed specifically at them? Serbia was doing exactly what Hitler did and Putin is doing - expanding territory and not giving a damn about civilian lives.
@@mitchyoung93 I seem to remember Sarajevo being shelled indiscriminately and children being killed by snipers. As well as the Srebrenica massacre. Also, supporting a civilian war against Croatians and Bosnians. I know some of the people involved in that war. Serbian nationalism was destructive and the military was used as a tool of oppression. Not that the Serbs were the only ones. NATO was very reluctant but the atrocities by supported militant groups became too much for the public opinion to accept. The widespread "pinpoint" Russia shelling and bombing of civilian areas in Ukraine is also not acceptable. Actually, it is even worse when this is done deliberately. The support for Ukraine is overwhelming and for Serbia to be siding with Russia just gives a good reason to keep them out of the EU.
@@Elo-hv3fw That`s beside the point of the vid, which is essentially correct, even if the straits names are wrong. Russian subs from Peter and Kjonig won`t be able to reach the Atlantic Ocean undetected.
It is self destructive move ... West is just playing with finland and sweden ... Remember neighbor can't be changed ... If west was so powerful it could have save ukraine but as u can see west is just a propaganda and mouthful Anyway just remember one thing History do repeat and presently US is repeating same by using europe as war ground and making huge profit out of it. Only difference is UK acting similar to US being a NON EU member. suffering will be for those who are neighbors to russia !!!
Why would NATO suddenly want to Attack Russia? I don't think Finland or NATO would wish to attack Russia, unless Russia decides to do something absolutely stupid. Finland is Worried about Russian attack that's why it wants to join NATO, and what Russia has done in the ukrainian, who can blame Finland and Sweden. I don't think Russia has anything to be worried about unless it's planing more invasions.
What do they mean by saying that a sterling submarine is "even" quieter than a nuclear sub? I've served on the former type mentioned in the segment, and it has always been known that nuclear subs are notoriously loud in comparison to even conventional diesel-electrical driven ones, well, because they are nuclear. To cool a fission reaction is not exactly easy, and while diesel engines can be turned off (i.e. switching to electrical propulsion), nuclear reactions can not, hence they keep on producing noise, something that was known to be a problem long before we adopted the Sterling technique. It's the propulsion that defines the type, not weather it carries nuclear armaments or not. I'm not entirely sure how much you can trust this channel on technical details, and/or if it uses similar phrasing just to make it seem more interesting and "fantastic" as news goes, but I'm not impressed.
@@stefanschleps8758 Well, you're probably right, it's just frustrating sometimes, to listen to something you think you understand a little, and then believe it's being butchered by journalists in order to make it seem more "newsworthy". It doesn't actually matter weather it's a small and insignificant detail to "them", it might still be undermining their credibility.
From wikipedia: In contrast to the three other Russian fleets, the Baltic Fleet's submarine capabilities are extremely modest with just one older Kilo-class boat deployed in 2020, largely for training purposes.
2:29 lol wut.. That wasn't a free passage. That is Swedish territorial waters where that sub is travelling. That would be an incursion and Swedish military would send sub hunting vessels. There are international waters still even if every single country is a NATO country. How do you not know this? It's not like where Swedish territorial waters end the next country begin. There is always an international waterway. What makes you think Russia was able to use Swedish or Finnish waters. Those nations would never allow it. It would be an incursion into sovereign water every time.
Those waters are considered an international passage by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Sweden can only block it to ships from a country that they are in open hostilities with. So now, yes Sweden can block it if it is part of NATO and hostilities break out. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. That they are international waters or are not.
An interesting and informative video. Thank you. However, St. Petersburg (Kronstadt) is the old Baltic Fleet submarine base. It is now in Kaliningrad Oblast.
Russia/Soviet control of the Baltic Sea has been at best by the skin of there teeth. Much like the Black Sea Fleet, is virtually land lock due to other Nations control access to this Sea.
Something i have never understood is why some people put a lot of importance on the Black sea fleet . Yes its useful now but for anything involving NATO its a lame duck
NATO is not a defense organization. As a matter of fact, it regularly engages in war outside of the North Atlantic region where it gets its name. Just ask Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.
Afghanistan was NATO operation under UN mandate. Libya - NATO attacked under UN mandate. Iraq - From 2004 to 2011, NATO conducted a relatively small but important support operation in Iraq that consisted of training, mentoring and assisting the Iraqi Security Forces. NATO has no attacked Syria, Russia and Turkey have. ……… NATO has always UN mandate for its offensives. When is Russia going to get UN mandate for its offensives?
Elite Russia troops on Finland boarder didn't the local fins mention they all left at the start of Ukraine invasion and not come back leaving raw recruits on the boarder ,they did all their shopping in Finland so it's all so matter of fact most of them got killed and loss of trade is only worry to fins
Erdogan would be crazy for blocking Finland and Sweden joining NATO. In limiting Russian access to the Baltic, Turkey controls the only easy access to trade Russia has, through the Black Sea. This would make Turkey much more powerful than it already is currently.
hugokatz Any nation opposing FIN/SWE move is crazy? You need to expect and accept "No" for an answer at times. Not every nation needs to sing lullaby to NATO.
He got a Election next year . He wants a meeting with biden . Lift off weapon embargo . Something with US backing syriankurds as well . What i heard these 30 kurds Are publicists . Dont think Sweden want to embarrass Turkey . THE parlament member they Are talking about Will be leaving parlament this autumn anyway . Swedish pm has voted on THE budget of THE opposition Before .
I’m a little confused by the maps. He started off by telling us that the Russian Baltic Fleet is headquartered in Kaliningrad which is the old German Koenigsburg sandwiched between modern Poland and modern Lithuania. He maps and charts keep showing the Russian fleet travelling from St Petersburg which is on the other side of Estonia. Am I supposed to follow the words or the maps?
Look at that map again and see that alot of the boarder Finland have is against a neighbour country that's have a history to invade none NATO neighbours. So you probobly understand why they just in some month after Russia invaded another neighbour country want more protection like NATO. And have not Russia a Huge millitary and Nuke protection? Why would NATO attack them and destroy the Earth?
Russia is NOT surrounded by NATO countries - for example China isn't a NATO country. Russia's problem is that it occupied many countries in Eastern Europe after WWII and strangled freedom of speech, action and thought. When the Soviet Union collapsed these countries naturally wanted to ensure that Russia could never again invade and control them - so they joined the one organization that could ensure mutual protection against Russian aggression - NATO. So far from Russia being nervous, they are instead beligerant, aggressive and paranoid. They are also the aggressors in Ukraine and have fed their population a litany of lies and half-truths to explain away the unpalatable fact that they are acting like fascists, whilst simultaneously denying their own population access to the real truth. Only someone who is niave or perhaps a pro-Russian troll could believe otherwise
Russia's not nervous about Nato to its west - Putin is just a deluded and paranoid old man that's the worst thing that happened to Russia since Stalin.
Russia being nervous about NATO is like a bank robber being nervous about banks' security guards: it makes robbing banks much riskier. But if you _don't_ intend to rob a bank, then you _don't care_ about those guards.
turkey will veto, I hope one country in nato which has sense vetoes such a move for the sake of humanity, am not from russia am from the west my self and I object such provocation to a country armed with nuclear bombs
Baltic sea is done game over for Putin and let's face it the Russian fleet looks like it still has ships from Peter the greats time. It's 90% a museum peace fleet anyway and with Russia's economy is never going to be anything else. So this is probably a good thing for Putin and he should thank Nato as he couldn't afford the Baltic fleet anyway. To think Putin caused all this makes me smile.
Russia has enough space on the Arctic ocean in the North. Imagine if Finland and Estonia decide to build a dam between both countries, effectively totally cutting off Russian vessels entering St. Petersburg. And such a structure is not even that far fetched. It would be slightly longer than the closure dam in The Netherlands.
@@nebonaladoni2678 If russia/putler decides to use tactical nukes or chemical weapons. The whole world knows who wins in a nuclear war = NOBODY. Furthermore, I think we've called russia's bluff on them using tactical nukes. Especially that close to St. Petersburg. The people of St. Petersburg would directly and indirectly feel the effects from even a small tactical nuclear blast if it were detonated in that region of the Baltic Sea between Helsinki and Tallin. Only time will tell the lengths of depravity that putler will sink to though, so let's all hope he's not stupid enough to use them. Nobody deserves that fate, not even the russian civilians.

@@RockinMTB no need to impose anything on anyone. We ourselves will figure out how to live and who to trust, we do not tell you. As for nuclear weapons, Russian doctrine explicitly says that Russia will not be the first to launch a nuclear strike, and Putin has repeatedly stated this.
Interesting commentary, but. You make a point of NATO countries use Boyes to monitor submarines in the N Atlantic. And you don't think they do the same in the Baltic. Even with Finland not being a part of NATO, Estonia is. The Gulf of Finland is narrow. You really believe that neither Estonia or Finland would not monitor the water between the territorial waters of the two countries? The strait between Denmark and Sweden is nearly as restrictive as the Bosperous in Turkey. Do you really believe that Denmark as a NATO member doesn't monitor marine traffic on Swedens side of the strait. Of course it does, just like Sweden will monitor marine traffic on Denmarks side of the border. Don't git me wrong. The article would be insightful to many people. However, it was incomplete. Why? Time restraint on the length of the article?
Hey Finland, does it worth it to please US with joining NATO while loosing: -Electricity supply from Russia -Gas supply from Russia -Loosing freight traffic passage through Saimaa Canal -Loosing neutrality status and as a result Russian "Islander" missiles are already on the way to Finland border -Lost very generous Russian tourists and many more... What do you get from NATO membership? Military bases with lots of army ammunition and as a result potential target for Russian rockets. Stupidity doesn't have boundaries...
Swedish submarines are not the only one which sunk us carriers in stimulated exercise.. But indian sindhughosh class too did in the malabar exercise..... (They are Russian kilo class too)
Now Russia needs to decide if they want to become a civilize and friendly nation to build prosperity with other countries, or if they want to continue to be a nation that continues to threaten its neighbors.
Russia have tried to be respectful towards west countries for 20+ years and even suggested Russia to join NATO. Of course, it's all got declined and instead of respectful relationship NATO and EU towards to Russia and extending back hand of the partnership took a good will of Russia as weakness and used the time to surround Russian borders to ensure Russia will be never independent again. So its all the consequences, NATO never been protective bloc, as history tells.

First of all unofficially Finland and Sweden are USA ally long ago they share information for decades it was revealed by cia recent days so it is a point less discussion
Sweden and Finland should stand strong against Putin's bullying tactics and threats, and against Turkey's blackmailing attempts to force these very advanced, peace-loving, and competent nations to compromise on their principles and rights to regional security. It is commendable that the UK and the US are standing solidly with Finland and Sweden to dissuade Putin from 'jumping the gun'. The Finland-Russia boundary will double the NATO perimeter in one stroke with the addition of 830 miles. Also, between Sweden and Finland, they will limit Russian maritime access by encircling the Gulf of Bothnia, Gulf of Finland, and the Baltic Sea (together with the Baltic NATO countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland). Ireland, Ukraine, and Moldova should join NATO very soon to fill up critical geopolitical gaps in the overall NATO configuration.
All true, as well as the fact that Finland too has lost territory from Russia. The older people there no doubt understand this better, that Ukraine Finland have that in common, as well as a few other countries...
These are several points in this video which seem factually wrong. First off, you speak as if Denmark doesnt exist. Then, you seem to believe that monitoring stations in Norway, the Baltics, Scotland and Iceland do not exist. Unless you are only speaking about submarines.... But you don't say that
in the baltic sea, Russia has got hundreds of tactic nuclear weapons which make no mistake will ultimately be used if Russia find itself in a very big trouble. what you don't understand, in these regions ( baltic, black sea..) Russia has a escalation advantage, it can easily use tactic nuclear weapons which the US or France could not use. Do you really think that the US will risk an intercontinental nuclear war just to save Ukraine, Poland, Finland or Sweden? if you think so, then your reality is not only real but absurd. The US will fight Russia only by Proxy as long as Tactic nuclear weapons are not used. The moment that it starts to be used, the US will pack its staff and flee.
and what makes you think Russia will risk a nuclear war over baltics? 🤣🤣 Russian oligarchs are losing shit over their million dollars yachts seized, do you think they would be willing to spend rest of their lives in bunkers?
Dude, Germany and Denmark are already in NATO. Uhh, you seem to discount their interest in not allowing Russian subs to freely cruise through the very constricted waters between the Baltic and the Atlantic. Trust me, they watch these straights very carefully. It’s more a situation of bad to even worse in the Baltic for Russia.
Looks like a big chess game is being played. Lots of checks on each other's King between NATO forces and Russian forces. Which move will be the checkmate?
Yeah. No. Putin has messed up. He needs to swallow his pride and get out of Ukraine. So wrong he's sacrificing his own people and Ukrainians when no-one was planning to attack Russia. Europe and USA wanted friendly relations. Trade and prosperity. Putin's paranoia needs to stop.
Sweden subs alone could destroy his fleet with ease! And I belive and it’s been proven that there electric subs are far more advanced and stealthy than Russian attack subs
They could, but it would be very butt clenchy, as Sweden only has three of these little subs and practically no surface force outside of fast attack craft and patrol vessels. Sweden could hold its own, but not necessarily dominate the Baltic.
@@totalnerd5674 We are weak now yes, but you forget that Sweden has two more Sterling-powered subs, and when they are retired 2022, we get two new A26's. And then we have 5 stealth corvettes too, and it's said they are getting AA-missiles now. But I think we could dominate. We have massive stores of RBS15 missiles. Air, ground and ship launched. Hard to operate in the Baltic with them raining down on you, well if you aren't a sub that is.
and russia made their people pay the price, loads of soviet soldiers got captured and later killed because of stalin's policy.... and the same is happening again...their authoritarian leaders don't give a fuck about their people and just send them in to die in ukraine...i hope soon the russian people will drop this absolute lunatic....
And Russia underestimated Finland, Afghanistan and now Ukraine. If you are looking for lessons from history it's that Russia's only offensive win was in WW2 when it had all that material support from the West. Good in defence - really poor in offence.
much better video format than that mind numbingly slow subtitle videos you so often produce. Now just loose the swoosh sound effect on the transitions.
I am in awe… have never seen a TH-cam presentation that assumed greater stupidity of its viewer. Sweden and Finland were allowing Russian access in the Baltic unobserved? You deserve a Plaque just for that statement alone.
We don't know that for a fact. And it is quite possible they don't share the info. Sharing it means you lose the benefits of neutrality and gain no protection from NATO. I am sure they have on rare occasions, on a regular basis? Would be quite stupid. And, he has to report what is known, not what you suspect.
I love the nonsense war plan where a single Finnish company would enter deep inside Russia to destroy roads, bridges and electric lines leading to city of Murmansk. This is entirely plausible plot only in Bollywood.
Some errors. The submarine in your animation comes from St Petersburg, not Kaliningrad. Your red coastal line goes across Kaliningrad which is part of Russia. Submarines can go from Kaliningrad to Denmark without going through NATO, so what you said isn't true.
The line is red because the port of Kaliningrad is not safe now Polish waters that they have sensors that can pick it up. Also if it leaves that port, satellites see it, it is obviously going somewhere, and there is no where it can go undetected. Though you're right the line is wrong and one would expect better from a news org.
Kaliningrad was once part of Prussia.
He meant without an active detection system from that former neutral region.
He said without being detected, but now Sweden and Finland can share their info with nato they can't go undetected
So why comment- as long as you know….
It’s fine
Finland and Sweden are practically NATO members. They do training exercises with NATO on a regular basis.
NATO was created against Soviet Union - Communist Expansionism . Since SU and Communism do not exist anymore, there is no real role for NATO. But US is using NATO to submerge Russia ...NATO was a total failure in Afghanistan the last 10+ years . They could not defeat Taliban which ironically the USA created during 79-89 against the Soviet-baked Kabul!
Yes its mindbuggling . All those joint manouvers and turks never seemed to bother before . As well as finnish and Swedish fighting with other natomembers i various conlictzones
Exactly- and the British and the French
Have promised interim protection already-
The geeks who buy copies of MILITARY monthly- should know this
In the past (not in the recent) Russia has also done training exercises with NATO. That alone does not make a country part of NATO...
(Switzerland and Austria have trained NATO Specialists and heli pilots in mountain warfare and flying in mountinous regions for decades, doesn't make them NATO countries either. )
Think THE should get THE baltic states into nordefco meanwhile to slim Up defence in baltic sea . In THE Long run its all about money . Then IF Trump returns he aint gonna say - NATO is a RIP of
Except Finland was always with NATO, though not officially
If not OFFICIALY then not adequately
Sweden always has Finland's back and Finland does the same for Estonia. Latvia and Lithuania are the only true Balts in a linguistic sense but they always roll with Estonia and all three have a strong security relationship with all of the Nordic countries. The Baltics might be tiny but they punch above their weight and they form a potent bloc along with Poland (plus the rest of the Intermarium) and the Nordics.
Finns ❤Estonians. 👨❤👨
Actually, Finland was a colony of Sweden for hundreds of years until Sweden lost the war to Russia and this territory became part of Russia. It was then that Finland appeared . Before that, there is no such country
Did you ever notice that most of the population in Finland speak English. I think they are very Western and looking toward the future while Russia dwells on the past!
Don't forget New Zealand. We may have a long way to paddle our canoes but we are with you.
@thetimekillerx What are you trying to say? Do you mean that countries which does not speak English language are non civilized? This thought shows how imperialist and racist you are. In the following countries people don't speak English or only hotel staff and tourist guides speak basic English the list is China, Gambia, Saudi Arabia, Malawi, Uganda, Italy, Ukraine, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Spain, France, Georgia, Yemen, Chile, Albania, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Swaziland, Colombia, Tanzania many places in Japan and India, many more to list. Do you say people in these countries are non civilized. The reason for spread of English is not because of civilization it's because of cruel colonization of British, who invaded other countries and killed, looted, plundered, raped, slaved but you call themselves as civilized and others as non civilized, shame on you.
Stirling engines are interesting. Their energy source is the heat differential between the inside and outside of the sub.
Really, really quiet
People must be constantly reminded that NATO is a defensive organization. If Russia were a good boy, no one would bother it. But Russian blood is rich with brutal imperialist ambitions and being peaceful to its small neighbors has been historically impossible to do.
read the NATO charter for which it was created and for what purpose it approached the borders of Russia.
You're so naive and brainwashed. All war departments are called defense departments. It doesn't mean it's for defense only. Lookup the wars NATO was involved in. These wars weren't defensive at all. How is Afghanistan a threat to NATO, yet NATO was in Afghanistan. And NATO was also in Iraq, where US lies about WMD bombed that place to the stone age and murdered millions. These actions aren't defensive.
@@bvang8370 Don't mix NATO with NATO members. Did NATO declare on Iraq or was it USA that did it? Australia was in it too so that's really not NATO.
Then Afghanistan, did NATO attack or was it some terrorist thing that hit USA. Did NATO retaliate or was it USA and some of its allies?(all NATO members didn't attack). I do see Russia on one list when searching for that War. India, Russia and Iran supported it :D

NATO are the terrorists there. You might have a look into any halfway decent list of 9/11 perpetrators .... no Afghans whatsoever, more Saudis than any other nationality - NATO and the US do support Saudis in destroying Yemen though for some reason .... And my country (Germany, NATO-vassall and U.S. outpost No. one in the world) was part of the NATO occupation of Afghanistan for 20 bloody years - while, following international Law of Nations, the Sovjet Red Army was, once more, invited/called for by the Afghan regime of 1978 which was about to build a laizist, socialist Nation while the US and NATO members fueled the civil war turning it into an international proxy war by supporting the very islamist terrorists with weaponry and intel they then started to oppress in the 20 years of occupation after the "vengeance bombing" of Afghanistan following the Saudi financed and organized attack of 9/11 in October 2001 ..... The facts aren't pretty, while they still are facts, and International Law of Nations _does_ have a factual paragraph for military support following an invitation/ask for said support from an elected government, while the same very international Law of Nations does not know "regime change" or supporting/weaponizing colorful terrorist groups and civil unrest like it happened in Ukraine in 2003/2004 and once more in 2013/2014, the latter widely known as "Euro-Maidan", which was a violent putsch then Vice President Joe B. orchestrated with the support of a lot of U.S. agencies and organizations like Soros' "open society foundation", an international terror-financing front office the U.S. services use in a lot of countries (also financing/organizing civil unrest against Lukaschenko in Belarus after his reelection in 2020 for example). We today even know (or could know, would we want to) _why_ then Vice President Joe B. organized the Oligarchs' putsch of 2014 once we look into his son Hunter's curriculum vitae and financial matters .... nothing whatsoever International Law of Nations would know of as legal or even legitimate acts, that mingling with local "interest groups" for an unfair share of the loot, to put it mildly ....
Excellent analysis of the real impact of Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
I’ll start watching videos on Asia to get a better understanding of what is happening in India, China, etc.
It's paid western propaganda
The Baltic sea is pretty shallow but some salinity effects are making tracking submarines somewhat difficult. The Kola is where they have the big submarines and a lot of military installations so that may be more critical for Russia. Likely they will have no way to avoid secret rockets, cruise missiles, and drones launched from the rocks of Finland, Sweden, and Norway. NATO is for defense but in the Russian mindset, they will have to meet this challenge and pay the price which might be substantial.
LOL ask the people of Belgrade how defensive NATO is.
@@mitchyoung93 Take a wider context and tell me you think the stop of the Serbian atrocities was not a good thing. It should have been done earlier and more forcefully. And then again Belgrade was not terror bombed as the Russians do. Still, it is correct to question some decisions but please be factual.
@@bjrnhjortshjandersen1286 1) Serbia was terror bombed at least as much as the Russians have done (I would argue most Russian strikes have been pintpoint). A civilian train was hit. Bridges were destroyed, the Chinese embassy hit etc.
2) 'Serbia atrocities' were grossly exaggerated, esp with regard to the 1999 NATO bombing (my main concern). In fact the KLA/UCK was in a war against Federal Republic of Yugoslavia forces and committed acts of terror on the internationally recognized territory of FRY. Yugoslavia responded with a conventional counter-insurgency campaign. Naturally people started moving out of the conflict zone, but this was spun as 'ethnic cleansing'.
3) I had a front seat view to all of this, NATO not only acted as the KLA/UCK strategic bomber command, but as the KLA/UCK tactical air arm.
@@mitchyoung93 The Serbian atrocities were sickening - and well documented.
Russian bombing has been anything but 'pin point' - 30k civilians killed - or are you saying that Putin aimed specifically at them?
Serbia was doing exactly what Hitler did and Putin is doing - expanding territory and not giving a damn about civilian lives.
@@mitchyoung93 I seem to remember Sarajevo being shelled indiscriminately and children being killed by snipers. As well as the Srebrenica massacre. Also, supporting a civilian war against Croatians and Bosnians. I know some of the people involved in that war. Serbian nationalism was destructive and the military was used as a tool of oppression. Not that the Serbs were the only ones. NATO was very reluctant but the atrocities by supported militant groups became too much for the public opinion to accept.
The widespread "pinpoint" Russia shelling and bombing of civilian areas in Ukraine is also not acceptable. Actually, it is even worse when this is done deliberately. The support for Ukraine is overwhelming and for Serbia to be siding with Russia just gives a good reason to keep them out of the EU.
Moskova was not sunk. It merely decided to self-identify as the newest submarine in the Russian Navy is all.

It is self destructive move ... West is just playing with finland and sweden ... Remember neighbor can't be changed ... If west was so powerful it could have save ukraine but as u can see west is just a propaganda and mouthful

If no one else, Putin and Russia deserve the captivity they will experience for the many wrongs they have heaped upon humanity.
Thanks Ukraine for its bravery they gave the courage to Finland and Sweden to join nato!
And they gave courage to the whole world to join the fight
Why would NATO suddenly want to Attack Russia? I don't think Finland or NATO would wish to attack Russia, unless Russia decides to do something absolutely stupid.
Finland is Worried about Russian attack that's why it wants to join NATO, and what Russia has done in the ukrainian, who can blame Finland and Sweden. I don't think Russia has anything to be worried about unless it's planing more invasions.
What do they mean by saying that a sterling submarine is "even" quieter than a nuclear sub? I've served on the former type mentioned in the segment, and it has always been known that nuclear subs are notoriously loud in comparison to even conventional diesel-electrical driven ones, well, because they are nuclear. To cool a fission reaction is not exactly easy, and while diesel engines can be turned off (i.e. switching to electrical propulsion), nuclear reactions can not, hence they keep on producing noise, something that was known to be a problem long before we adopted the Sterling technique. It's the propulsion that defines the type, not weather it carries nuclear armaments or not. I'm not entirely sure how much you can trust this channel on technical details, and/or if it uses similar phrasing just to make it seem more interesting and "fantastic" as news goes, but I'm not impressed.
Thank you for this info.
You're over thinking it.
@@stefanschleps8758 Well, you're probably right, it's just frustrating sometimes, to listen to something you think you understand a little, and then believe it's being butchered by journalists in order to make it seem more "newsworthy".

Thank you for the 'reality check'. I guarantee you the American Navy knows the precise location of EVERY Russian ship on this planet.😇
From wikipedia:
In contrast to the three other Russian fleets, the Baltic Fleet's submarine capabilities are extremely modest with just one older Kilo-class boat deployed in 2020, largely for training purposes.
That is a fact.
Shores are very close, imagine missiles enough.
2:29 lol wut.. That wasn't a free passage. That is Swedish territorial waters where that sub is travelling. That would be an incursion and Swedish military would send sub hunting vessels.
There are international waters still even if every single country is a NATO country. How do you not know this? It's not like where Swedish territorial waters end the next country begin. There is always an international waterway. What makes you think Russia was able to use Swedish or Finnish waters. Those nations would never allow it. It would be an incursion into sovereign water every time.
Those waters are considered an international passage by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. Sweden can only block it to ships from a country that they are in open hostilities with. So now, yes Sweden can block it if it is part of NATO and hostilities break out. I am not sure what point you are trying to make. That they are international waters or are not.
@niels lund And then, if Russia is _at war_ with NATO, in that case, the Russian vessels indeed can't get in or out of the Baltic sea.

An interesting and informative video. Thank you. However, St. Petersburg (Kronstadt) is the old Baltic Fleet submarine base. It is now in Kaliningrad Oblast.
Russia/Soviet control of the Baltic Sea has been at best by the skin of there teeth. Much like the Black Sea Fleet, is virtually land lock due to other Nations control access to this Sea.
Something i have never understood is why some people put a lot of importance on the Black sea fleet . Yes its useful now but for anything involving NATO its a lame duck

NATO is not a defense organization. As a matter of fact, it regularly engages in war outside of the North Atlantic region where it gets its name. Just ask Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya etc.
Yep
now they want to expand to the pacific
Afghanistan was NATO operation under UN mandate.
Libya - NATO attacked under UN mandate.
Iraq - From 2004 to 2011, NATO conducted a relatively small but important support operation in Iraq that consisted of training, mentoring and assisting the Iraqi Security Forces.
NATO has no attacked Syria, Russia and Turkey have.

NATO has always UN mandate for its offensives. When is Russia going to get UN mandate for its offensives?
Great piece of work! Thanks for explaining how the addition of Finland & Sweden makes the world a safer place.

Very nicely presented. Thanks for posting
Erdogan would be crazy for blocking Finland and Sweden joining NATO. In limiting Russian access to the Baltic, Turkey controls the only easy access to trade Russia has, through the Black Sea. This would make Turkey much more powerful than it already is currently.
Turkey has the most powerful army in the region.
Nato is grateful for their help, but keeping watchful eyes on them.

Thanks for the link. Always open to a new source.
I’m a little confused by the maps. He started off by telling us that the Russian Baltic Fleet is headquartered in Kaliningrad which is the old German Koenigsburg sandwiched between modern Poland and modern Lithuania. He maps and charts keep showing the Russian fleet travelling from St Petersburg which is on the other side of Estonia. Am I supposed to follow the words or the maps?
A good look at the world map would show that Russia is surrounded by NATO countries, and one has to wonder why Russia is nervous about that.
Because Russia has attacked every one of its neighbors and now they are joining NATO
Look at that map again and see that alot of the boarder Finland have is against a neighbour country that's have a history to invade none NATO neighbours.
So you probobly understand why they just in some month after Russia invaded another neighbour country want more protection like NATO.
And have not Russia a Huge millitary and Nuke protection? Why would NATO attack them and destroy the Earth?
Russia is NOT surrounded by NATO countries - for example China isn't a NATO country. Russia's problem is that it occupied many countries in Eastern Europe after WWII and strangled freedom of speech, action and thought. When the Soviet Union collapsed these countries naturally wanted to ensure that Russia could never again invade and control them - so they joined the one organization that could ensure mutual protection against Russian aggression - NATO. So far from Russia being nervous, they are instead beligerant, aggressive and paranoid. They are also the aggressors in Ukraine and have fed their population a litany of lies and half-truths to explain away the unpalatable fact that they are acting like fascists, whilst simultaneously denying their own population access to the real truth. Only someone who is niave or perhaps a pro-Russian troll could believe otherwise
Russia's not nervous about Nato to its west - Putin is just a deluded and paranoid old man that's the worst thing that happened to Russia since Stalin.
Russia being nervous about NATO is like a bank robber being nervous about banks' security guards: it makes robbing banks much riskier. But if you _don't_ intend to rob a bank, then you _don't care_ about those guards.

Baltic sea is done game over for Putin and let's face it the Russian fleet looks like it still has ships from Peter the greats time.
It's 90% a museum peace fleet anyway and with Russia's economy is never going to be anything else. So this is probably a good
thing for Putin and he should thank Nato as he couldn't afford the Baltic fleet anyway. To think Putin caused all this makes me smile.

Interesting commentary, but. You make a point of NATO countries use Boyes to monitor submarines in the N Atlantic. And you don't think they do the same in the Baltic. Even with Finland not being a part of NATO, Estonia is. The Gulf of Finland is narrow. You really believe that neither Estonia or Finland would not monitor the water between the territorial waters of the two countries? The strait between Denmark and Sweden is nearly as restrictive as the Bosperous in Turkey. Do you really believe that Denmark as a NATO member doesn't monitor marine traffic on Swedens side of the strait. Of course it does, just like Sweden will monitor marine traffic on Denmarks side of the border. Don't git me wrong. The article would be insightful to many people. However, it was incomplete. Why? Time restraint on the length of the article?
This is a very good video. It's actually a very good intelligence video.👏👏👏
Hey Finland, does it worth it to please US with joining NATO while loosing:
-Electricity supply from Russia
-Gas supply from Russia
-Loosing freight traffic passage through Saimaa Canal
-Loosing neutrality status and as a result Russian "Islander" missiles are already on the way to Finland border
-Lost very generous Russian tourists

UKRAINE WAR
Cos this war indeed happen 8 years ago since me is a Malaysian or the same year, MH17 tragedy happen.
Cos civil war started in Ukraine after the opposition dethroned the govt of Ukraine using riots or how the country splitted since the old govt have alot of supporters or how they won election.
But the worst happen or how rebel borrowed a BUK from Russia since the new govt use airstrike on rebel area.
BUK is a defensive weapon, you cannot shoot other if they not flying or how MH17 tragedy happen.
Russia take back their BUK but Ukraine govt still use airstrike on rebel area or what known as Donbass today.
Russia ignored this war for 8 years since both side were Ukraine people but one day, they cannot tolerate anymore since many seek their help cos airstrike were daily routine and backed by video.
Russian say Ukraine were wrong using airstrike on resident area but they show Putin a middle finger.
When right or wrong cannot stand as conclusion mean win or lose must be used to force out an outcome or how war happen.
Russia win, Ukraine must stop using airstrike on resident area and accept Donbass independent.
Inshort, what happen in Ukraine today till bombed like living hell cos Ukraine should not disturb a sleeping tiger or that indeed the consequences since everyone aware on military aspect, Ukraine no match compared to Russia.
Inshort, if Russia have interest in Ukraine, this war should happen 8 years ago, not today.
And why not, you convince everyone here, Russia attack Ukraine mean they were wrong?
Cos Russian see themselves responsible on ensuring peace in countries that once made of soviet or why they sent army to Khadastan recently before invading Ukraine since Putin said they have an agreement.
Malaysian should be considered as stranger in this conflict since they won't bother at all, if MH17 tragedy did not happen. Someone went thru the whole thing cos he want to know the truth insense, who causes MH17 tragedy

So much better when you have a real person speaking instead of just text. :)
Haaa! Not only that, that piece of Western land, did belong to Poland, be funny if Poland reclaimed St Petersburg / Kaliningrad
Kaliningrad was never Polish either
Kaliningrad was German (Prussian to be precise)
@thetimekillerx Kalingrad was polish after WWI and before WWII. The German invasion famously began with a pre WWI battleship sailing into the city as a mobile artillery battery. You knew it belonged to Poland and were being disingenuous why? Because you thought others would not know?
@@ddoumeche Interesting, thanks for your input, I'm just confused why a Russian MP would accuse currently Poland of wanting to take it back, if anything the original name Königsberg suggests it was German. Maybe the Kremlin in their paranoia is just imagining Poland wants it 😂

good stuff sir!!
And yet, Putler still hasn’t seemed to get the message...
He holds more nukes and is allied with a few other regional super powers in the east ,more nukes than any one. I think the real question is why haven't we gotten the message yet .
Zacha you should give concrete solutions to present problem based on your kknowledge of wars tweaked to present conditions
Will Putin Lose The Baltic Sea? Not sure. Where did he see it last?
I saw it today….or was it the Caspian Sea?
Lol
Hmm, I like the sound of that "NATO Lake"

An interesting video spoiled by the intrusive, irritating music track.
Why do factual video-makers think such is necessary?
The idea that the Baltic will no longer have free passage - is nonsense - the Danish Straits allow free passage of ALL vessels, it is an international water route. Only in case of a war between Denmark (NATO) will the straits be closed. During the cold war, we had lot’s of mine layers, these may come back - but not be used unless there is a clear war. Look up Route TANGO going from Skagerak to the Baltic
Good analysis!
That was really good explained.
well
Why the hell are the Russians in Kaliningrad (Konigsburg) anyway, ethnically cleansed at the end of WW2 and then filled with Russian nationals. It had been a German city for 1000 years.

They should rename it Lake NATO in honor of Putin's contribution to the expansion of NATO.
I heard something like Russia will also create a military base near Finland
No problems with that, what Russia doing to protect their country is totalt up to them as Long they don't invade other country's as they did with Ukraine.
In the same way Russia can't tell Finland and Sweden how to defend their countries.
Very good decision ...Sweden & Finland to join NATO.💕
turkey will veto, I hope one country in nato which has sense vetoes such a move for the sake of humanity, am not from russia am from the west my self and I object such provocation to a country armed with nuclear bombs

Yeah and than if it goes wrong for Putin, yk he always has his nuclear weapons so that's no good either, let's pray that war doesn't happen, for Russia's civilians And NATO civilians, and the world
Here someone finally mentioned Putin and his tendency to threaten Nuclear war if Russia does not get its way. Someone should remind him how many nuclear warheads are aimed directly at the Kremlin headquarters in Moscow. Someone should school Putin on what Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) really means. Before you push that button President Putin, think of the distinct possibility that Russians could be wiped out to a man never to blotch the annals of history again.

Putin messed his britches when he started this debacle! Of course we must consider his age & health.
All talk really, Ukraine is way more important for Russia than Sweden and Finland. Russia and Nato will never fight, that's why the world has nukes.
UKRAINE WAR
Cos this war indeed happen 8 years ago since me is a Malaysian or the same year, MH17 tragedy happen.
Cos civil war started in Ukraine after the opposition dethroned the govt of Ukraine using riots or how the country splitted since the old govt have alot of supporters or how they won election.
But the worst happen or how rebel borrowed a BUK from Russia since the new govt use airstrike on rebel area.
BUK is a defensive weapon, you cannot shoot other if they not flying or how MH17 tragedy happen.
Russia take back their BUK but Ukraine govt still use airstrike on rebel area or what known as Donbass today.
Russia ignored this war for 8 years since both side were Ukraine people but one day, they cannot tolerate anymore since many seek their help cos airstrike were daily routine and backed by video.
Russian say Ukraine were wrong using airstrike on resident area but they show Putin a middle finger.
When right or wrong cannot stand as conclusion mean win or lose must be used to force out an outcome or how war happen.
Russia win, Ukraine must stop using airstrike on resident area and accept Donbass independent.
Inshort, what happen in Ukraine today till bombed like living hell cos Ukraine should not disturb a sleeping tiger or that indeed the consequences since everyone aware on military aspect, Ukraine no match compared to Russia.
Inshort, if Russia have interest in Ukraine, this war should happen 8 years ago, not today.
And why not, you convince everyone here, Russia attack Ukraine mean they were wrong?
Cos Russian see themselves responsible on ensuring peace in countries that once made of soviet or why they sent army to Khadastan recently before invading Ukraine since Putin said they have an agreement.
Malaysian should be considered as stranger in this conflict since they won't bother at all, if MH17 tragedy did not happen. Someone went thru the whole thing cos he want to know the truth insense, who causes MH17 tragedy
STRANGER SEE THE CLEAREST - Chinese proverb.

Yes Putin lost Baltic sea , game over .
Next step Black sea
I didn’t know Putin “had” the Baltic Sea.
@Biljana Cvjetinovic even before Finland& Sweden likely joining now, with Sweden as a Nato partner,previously ,almost a Nato ally ,nd not friends with russia, the Baltic, largely,was Nato waters .now with both countries probly joining,Nato can control even the Gulf of Finland,the Finns with coastal anti ship missile batteries,the Swedes with their stealth ships, also subs , not to mention Poland, Germany,the Baltic states ,Denmark ,other Nato countries too .russia has no chance there now
Finland an Sweden must be very happy with joining NATO. In a first strike they can now expect Russian nuke bombs. Once Russia has those rockets in place near the Finnish border nothing will be able to stop them. They'll be seconds away from major cities in Finland an Sweden. Sleep tight.
and russia has 1000 ,or 1200 nukes aimed at it by US /Nato forces. and even 'just ' right now with the security guarantee by the UK , to Sweden and Finland , the Brits have a couple or few hundred nukes ,enough to give even russia a pretty bad day , not to mention the Finnish President and Swedish PM stood in the Rose Garden ,of the White House couple days ago being welcomed ,by the US . a not subtle message

Nah. Russia subs were always monitored in the Baltic sea.

May your dreams come true. 😅
Lol, Russia's whole army are hillbillies. And it shows. Nordic countries are all on the same page now, when it comes to Russia. Stay at home Russians. Fix your own country, then you won't have to invade and steal from your neighbours.
Going to happen in Russia. Lots of hatred from lots of neighbors.
Russia deserves fire
Nobody in Europe is having nightmares, maybe you should see a doctor.
yeah but how do you account for turkey blocking findland and sweden membership
First of all unofficially Finland and Sweden are USA ally long ago they share information for decades it was revealed by cia recent days so it is a point less discussion
NATO is not "joinable". Neither country will be admitted. It takes every vote from every country to join and Turkey already has said no.
As far as I'm concerned, Baltic sea is a done deal. That ship sailed weeks ago. Now, let's address the black sea...
WTF are you on about. There was ALWAYS a challenge to Russia. They wouldn't be allowed to travel in Swedish territorial waters.
Sweden and Finland should stand strong against Putin's bullying tactics and threats, and against Turkey's blackmailing attempts to force these very advanced, peace-loving, and competent nations to compromise on their principles and rights to regional security. It is commendable that the UK and the US are standing solidly with Finland and Sweden to dissuade Putin from 'jumping the gun'. The Finland-Russia boundary will double the NATO perimeter in one stroke with the addition of 830 miles. Also, between Sweden and Finland, they will limit Russian maritime access by encircling the Gulf of Bothnia, Gulf of Finland, and the Baltic Sea (together with the Baltic NATO countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland). Ireland, Ukraine, and Moldova should join NATO very soon to fill up critical geopolitical gaps in the overall NATO configuration.
All true, as well as the fact that Finland too has lost territory from Russia. The older people there no doubt understand this better, that Ukraine Finland have that in common, as well as a few other countries...
You don't show kaliningrad ...
thank you very much for the analysis. I enjoyed listening to it across with the images. I hope Sweden and Finland join NATO.
These are several points in this video which seem factually wrong. First off, you speak as if Denmark doesnt exist. Then, you seem to believe that monitoring stations in Norway, the Baltics, Scotland and Iceland do not exist.
Unless you are only speaking about submarines.... But you don't say that
Days of Imperialism are over Mr Putin 😅
Good. Regards from Malaysian utuber
in the baltic sea, Russia has got hundreds of tactic nuclear weapons which make no mistake will ultimately be used if Russia find itself in a very big trouble.
what you don't understand, in these regions ( baltic, black sea..) Russia has a escalation advantage, it can easily use tactic nuclear weapons which the US or France could not use.
Do you really think that the US will risk an intercontinental nuclear war just to save Ukraine, Poland, Finland or Sweden?
if you think so, then your reality is not only real but absurd.
The US will fight Russia only by Proxy as long as Tactic nuclear weapons are not used. The moment that it starts to be used, the US will pack its staff and flee.
and what makes you think Russia will risk a nuclear war over baltics? 🤣🤣 Russian oligarchs are losing shit over their million dollars yachts seized, do you think they would be willing to spend rest of their lives in bunkers?
Great commentary cruk.
Dude, Germany and Denmark are already in NATO. Uhh, you seem to discount their interest in not allowing Russian subs to freely cruise through the very constricted waters between the Baltic and the Atlantic. Trust me, they watch these straights very carefully. It’s more a situation of bad to even worse in the Baltic for Russia.
Looks like a big chess game is being played. Lots of checks on each other's King between NATO forces and Russian forces. Which move will be the checkmate?
Yeah. No. Putin has messed up. He needs to swallow his pride and get out of Ukraine. So wrong he's sacrificing his own people and Ukrainians when no-one was planning to attack Russia. Europe and USA wanted friendly relations. Trade and prosperity. Putin's paranoia needs to stop.
Yes perfect
Sweden subs alone could destroy his fleet with ease! And I belive and it’s been proven that there electric subs are far more advanced and stealthy than Russian attack subs
They could, but it would be very butt clenchy, as Sweden only has three of these little subs and practically no surface force outside of fast attack craft and patrol vessels. Sweden could hold its own, but not necessarily dominate the Baltic.
@@totalnerd5674 We are weak now yes, but you forget that Sweden has two more Sterling-powered subs, and when they are retired 2022, we get two new A26's. And then we have 5 stealth corvettes too, and it's said they are getting AA-missiles now.
But I think we could dominate. We have massive stores of RBS15 missiles. Air, ground and ship launched.
Hard to operate in the Baltic with them raining down on you, well if you aren't a sub that is.
@@benghazi4216 dude be sure you cant dominate anywhere with few''stealth coverttes''

I wondered that as well...
Regardless, why be so nasty and insulting to the man even if he is saying something "stupid"?
We don't know that for a fact. And it is quite possible they don't share the info. Sharing it means you lose the benefits of neutrality and gain no protection from NATO. I am sure they have on rare occasions, on a regular basis? Would be quite stupid. And, he has to report what is known, not what you suspect.
