Finland and Sweden have become enemies of NATO

The large-scale exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance Steadfast Jazz will be held on November 2-6. About six thousand troops from 20 NATO member states will take part in them. In the maneuvers involve ground, naval and air forces, as well as special forces.

According to legend, the alleged enemy will be located on the territory of Sweden and Finland, which are indicated on the exercise map by the fictitious names of countries: Otso, Botnia, Framland and Torrike. Russia and Belarus are not indicated in the script. However, as noted by Finnish experts, the exercises are supposed to have captured the territory of Finland and Sweden and now pose a threat to the Baltic states and Poland.

A commentary published in the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat suggests that NATO was afraid to irritate Russia, marking it as a virtual enemy in exercises. “The Alliance did not want to publicly state that Russia is actually an imaginary enemy. Finland and Sweden are designated as NATO’s“ aggressors ”only because the Steadfast Jazz exercise will work out an action plan for an alliance that faces a threat coming from the Baltic Gulf. In any case, the echoes of the Cold War have already re-sounded in Europe, "the newspaper comments.

Finnish confidence that NATO does not view their country as a likely adversary, confirmed Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen. He said that “traditionally, NATO knows and appreciates the experience and skills of Finland in defense. Suomi also conducts exercises on the territory of NATO member countries and participates in joint crisis management operations. It would be strange if their opinion of Finland’s capabilities in this the sphere has changed. "

However, so far no one can clearly explain the absurdity of the official version of the NATO scenario of exercises, according to which the threat to the security of the Baltic States and Poland is Finland and Sweden, whose armed forces are focused on ensuring self-defense, and not on military aggression.

“The designation of a probable adversary in the exercise is a problem for both sides: for Russia and NATO,” Dmitry Danilov, head of the European Security Department at the Institute of Europe, RAS, told RG. He noted that the North Atlantic Alliance had never marked our country as a likely opponent in the exercise. Moreover, at the summit in Lisbon, NATO and Russia declared that they did not pose a threat to each other.

“I don’t think that the alliance seeks to push Finland and Sweden into NATO membership, designating them as a fictitious opponent. On the contrary, within this organization there is an understanding that the situation should not be heated. NATO is satisfied that the Finns and Swedes are not seeking to formal membership, they actively cooperate with the alliance not only within the framework of exercises, but also in peacekeeping activities, "said Danilov.

According to him, there is a loud concern from the northern and Baltic states about the increasing, in their opinion, military activity of Russia in the region, provoking retaliatory measures. Russia, for its part, does not understand why, for example, it is necessary to patrol the airspace of the Baltic states with NATO combat aircraft. "All this testifies to the apparent lack of mutual trust and how dangerous the military activity of two powerful military machines existing in Europe under these conditions can be, in the military planning of which elements of mutual deterrence still inevitably remain," Danilov concluded.

Comment

Janus Putkonen, a Finnish political analyst, editor-in-chief of the Verkkomediya information portal:

“There are two unofficial interpretations of the Steadfast Jazz exercise scenario. First: NATO is working through a situation in which Russia attacks or is preparing an attack on two neutral in the military sense countries: Finland and Sweden. It is assumed that the alliance in this case will provide them with military and other assistance. The second: NATO itself intends, using the territories of Finland and Sweden, to attack Russia. At the same time, oddly enough, NATO strategists did not think of working out a variant, in which, for example, one of the Western countries renounces its membership in the alliance and changes its military-political status.

The defense ministers of NATO and the Nordic countries claim that the NATO exercises will work out the military protection of the member countries of the alliance. But I want to ask, when did the alliance have to defend its territory? Never and never. NATO is an aggressive military bloc that conducts military operations outside its borders. So this time, the exercises involve active actions of the alliance on the territory of Finland and Sweden, which are not members of NATO.

      Yes, they got smoked there, why did it take Otso, Botnia, Framland and Torrique to capture Finns and Swedes and then go to the Baltic and Poland through the Baltic Sea. It would be better on their part (for their defense and peace of mind) if they called things and countries by their names, and did not let the Russians and Belarusians attack Europe through Finland and Sweden. Yes, and it would be more interesting for us to see what they get.

          This is how NATO considers the Baltic States to be a springboard for attacking Russia. Finland at one time refused the status of a neutral state, so Karelia also needs to be kept in the zone of special attention. All Vikings and Shyutkorites are combined into a NATO military substructure --- it is pictured. There are Danes present (an interesting video clip about Rock fans about them), so everything is clear with the peacefulness of Scandinavia. Russian Ivans drinks

    Yes, let there be hot in the underpants. The name of the opponent is not important at all. The main thing to remember is that all of Europe in the Third World War fought against the USSR. So, it should be understood that such a scenario is quite possible for itself, since not one of the European countries is able in fact to resist Russia. If someone decides to fight with us, they will only climb in a crowd and with support from abroad. Like, they don’t seem to help them.

    The title is provocative to draw attention to the publication, while the publication itself says
    So this time, the exercises suggest active actions of the alliance in Finland and Sweden, which are not members of NATO.

    Sweden and Finland do not need to join NATO, because they are de facto members of the anti-Russian forces and their armed forces are 100% consistent with NATO standards. As during the Second World War, and now they are at full disposal for the aggressor.

    There can’t even be any discussion here, questions are being worked out of the possibility of conducting military operations against Russia by the NATO bloc. Well, let them tell us again that the missile defense systems deployed in Poland, Romania and others like them are not directed against us.
    Also, such pages as Sweden and Finland, the territory of which Russia does not need to (their northern territories beyond measure, have not been developed), look strange in this case, knowingly letting the States drag themselves into a dirty game. Where is their neutrality and independence ???
    In general, this is just the beginning, on the eve of the struggle for the North and the Arctic.
    So you need to conduct exercises more often near their borders, so you need to re-develop your North and the Northern Sea Route, develop infrastructure there, both civilian and military.
    And with Finns and Swedes to find such a diplomatic language that they think seven times before they participate in such provocations.

    Obviously, the the cold war (albeit in stealth) between NATO and Russia continues. This is evidenced by the hysteria of Europe during the Russian-Belarusian exercises, the patrolling by NATO aircraft of the airspace of the Baltic states, etc. There is no question of any trust. All exercise scenarios are based on the assumption that the most likely adversary to NATO is Russia. When planning military exercises, the Russian military proceeds from the fact that NATO is the first enemy of Russia. It is so obvious that it does not require evidence.

    I would now invite the Finns and Swedes to participate in joint exercises with us. The scenario is a reflection of a pirate attack on a peaceful ship in the Baltic Sea, the destruction of pirate bases on the shores of the Gulf of Riga and the Moonsund archipelago.

      I agree, thanks to these things, the West is aging and decrepit. The demographics of Western countries are deteriorating towards an increasingly aging population, so in the future, NATO will have to protect the world of pensioners and the elderly. The main thing is that Russia in every possible way stimulate and develop its demography and increase the birth rate not at the expense of migrants, but at the expense of its people. Then any war is not terrible for us, the victory will be ours, especially if we add to this the protection of our culture, history and national traditions.
