West's Provocations v Russia Continue
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: NATO ready to deploy more troops near Russia’s borders if Sweden joins NATO. Putin must be learning it doesn’t pay for Russia to pull her punches.
Speaking to Swedish state TV about Stockholm’s prospective membership application on Thursday, Stoltenberg said NATO could immediately leap into action to bolster the country’s defenses during the process, which could take up to a year to conclude.
“From the potential moment Sweden is applying, and NATO says that they want Sweden to join, there is a very strong obligation from NATO to be able to guarantee Sweden's security,” he said. “We have different ways of doing it, including through an increased presence of NATO forces in the area around Sweden and the Baltic Sea.”
