The Russian ambassador to Sweden has claimed that Moscow would take "countermeasures" should Sweden join the military alliance.

Viktor Tatarinstev made the threat during an interview with Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. He said that there would be "consequences" if Sweden became the latest nation to join NATO, writes Zachary Davis Boren for The Independent.

Russia Threatens War If Sweden Joins NATO

Russia: do all of us a favor please and, give it a rest. Sheesh! Your country ain't doing real well in 2015.

If there is ever World War III between Russia vs. the West, my prediction is that you will see the GOP tea party base align themselves with their hero Adolf Putin....

....all because they saw him naked riding a horse.

Go figure.

No one will be supporting anyone if WW3 starts. Apparently Obots don't realize this.

So funny to hear Americans get upset when one country bullies another.

I know this is an anathema but...

Picture yourself as the president of the Russian Federation and along your entire western and southern borders are these nations which have joined a military alliance formed for only one purpose, to defend each other against you. What would you be doing or saying?

Now I think that Vladimir Putin is a kleptocrat and an xenophobic nationalist of the highest order but I can't see how any Russian leader would find the enlargement of NATO as a threat.

On edit: I forgot to add "paranoid."

my prediction is that more than 1000 liberals will die in a stampede of lefties running to be first to surrender to the first Russian they can find.

I wonder if you would care to expand on that idea with greater wisdom, or is that even possible.

Actually, it would be the left most likely to align with political dictators. Most of the worst atrocities in the last 100 years were committed by leftists like Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, etc. The left seems to enjoy a government that cracks down on their citizens, not realizing that one day they might be the target.

...and the Democrat limp-wristers will be hiding under their beds with the picture of Putin in one hand and something else in the other.
