I can not see "A special operation" with Finland and Sweden.
Imagine 30 different languaged armies mincing around on a battlefield all not knowing what the f**k they're doing ? Can't wait to see this !
Peter, our 25% reservist element will more than compensate for that.
The Finnish and Swedish can speak better English than most English. I can tell you haven't travelled.
The operational language of NATO is English followed by French. Only France does not use English, as they are unlikely to participate in any hostilities that does not matter.
Gen Pavel is a master of understatement 'Russia has experience of Finland's potency'; in 1939-40 the Soviets had to outnumber them 200 to 1 to get a draw.
A draw? Finland ceded a shit ton of territory to the soviets. You really live in an alternate reality.
@@useridxvbnbtg Well the Red Army outnumbered the Finns 100 to 1 so I make that a draw - Stalin never tried it again. Yes, the territory was lost.
I expect the Finns are interested in the performance of the Russians in Ukraine.
You are ignorant.
@@uingaeoc3905 you can “make that” a draw all you want. You’re irrelevant. The fact is that they lost territory, which is the most important thing in any war. Finland did not get any Soviet territory, therefore draw is not applicable. It is purely a defeat. Your coping won’t do much to change facts. Have a great day 👍
@@useridxvbnbtg You have a point, however the result of the winter war can only be described as a pyrrhic victory for the Soviet Union. Not only did they get far less territory than they wanted, but the war was far more costly for the soviets. Territorial gain may be the end goal of a war, but simply saying that because one side gained land that they won the war without taking casualties into account is, quite frankly, stupid and unrealistic
If you think about the situation. Turkey who opposes accession has made an arms trade with Russia and a war in Syria. Finland cut off arms supplies to Turkey because of ethnic reasons. If there is talk of terrorists, there are more of them in Turkey's own country than in any other Nordic country. So what does such a country do when deciding on the security of countries if it shoots you in the back to pursue its own interests?
You are not thinking about the situation but you are just paraphrasing what you read in the media without knowing things in detail.First,Turkey bought S400 from Russia cos The US refused to sell Patriots to Turkey which has been under threat cos of its location as you may know Turkey is the only stable country in a very problematic area and it needs an Air defence system .So Our so called allies refused to sell patriots and we had no other choice other than buying S400. Turkey has been in conflict with Russia in many regions like Libya and Syria and Turkey did its best to stop Russian invasion to Ukraine.Just beacuse we buy smt from them it doesnt mean we are ally with them. Every country thinks of its own interest.Greece vetoed Macedonia over a stupid name for example. When i read the comments i see that you ,all Europeans, are very selfish people who only care about their own safety .You are insensitive to the threat that Turkey is in and hiding the terrorists in your country yet blame us with all these nonsenses.İf you dont care about my safety why i should care about yours.Good luck with Russians.
The General is reading something.
