Twitter Roasts Russia After Kremlin Threatens Finland and Sweden
Perhaps the emperor has had no clothes all along…


Russia’s botched invasion of Ukraine has no doubt shuffled the international order of things, particularly when it comes to ranking nations in terms of the fear that they can conjure when waving their military around.
The world used to be abjectly terrified of Russia. Their leader, Vladimir Putin, was once considered one of the world’s most astutely conniving diplomats, who would rather be caught dead than make any sort of international faux pas. His military was supposed to be one of the most powerful and advanced in the world, too, bested by none save the United States’ awe-inspiring force.
As it turns out, the whole thing was simply a ruse, and Russia’s abject failure in Ukraine proves it.
That’s why a recent threat made against other European nations by the Kremlin is prompting guffaws on Twitter.
Russia has warned Finland and Sweden against joining Nato, arguing the move would not bring stability to Europe.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that “the alliance remains a tool geared towards confrontation”.
It comes as US defence officials said Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine has been a “massive strategic blunder” which is likely to bring Nato enlargement.
US officials expect the Nordic neighbours to bid for membership of the alliance, potentially as early as June.
This had Twitter rolling.
Putin, the strategic genius.
In less than a 6 weeks accomplishing what has been impossible since NATO's founding in 1949 https://t.co/OsmIqFxCFB

Sweden and Finland now want to join NATO, another unintended negative consequence of Putin’s invasion. Putin wanted to stop NATO expansion, but instead he precipitated it.

Strategic genius Putin:
– Launch a limited military operation in Ukraine that turns into a massive failure.
– Get Russia sanctioned above its ears.
– Finland and Sweden joining NATO at the same time as the alliance plan to mass a real army in East Europe. https://t.co/LS4D6FdTgh— Anders Östlund (@andersostlund) April 11, 2022

There are plenty of ways in which American politicians can react to a tragedy, with a great many of those options being a bit shortsighted.
This is especially true of Democrats, it seems, as their innate progressivism makes them uniquely obsessed with change for the sake of change – even when those changes may be constitutionally questionable.
The latest example of this comes to us from New York, where a racist massacre at a grocery store has the state government looking to spy on citizens’ social media accounts.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Wednesday announced plans to create a police unit designed to, in part, combat “hate speech” in the wake of the tragic shooting in Buffalo, promising to “confront this epidemic head-on.”
“We’re proposing a comprehensive plan to combat domestic terrorism, strengthen state gun laws, & investigate social media platforms promoting violent extremism,” Hochul announced Wednesday.
“In wake of the racist act of terror in Buffalo, New York will lead the charge to confront this epidemic head-on”.
The devil was in the (lack of) details:
One of the governor’s executive orders instructs the State Police to establish a “dedicated unit within the New York State Intelligence Center (NYSIC) to track domestic extremism and increase social media monitoring at the Intelligence Center.”
“The unit will be responsible for developing investigative leads based on social media analyses focused on radical extremist activities motivated threats by identifying online locations and activities that facilitate radicalization and promote violent extremism,” it reads in part.
Without any clear or concise guard rails, those employed within the unit would be left to examine any number of questionable pieces of alleged “evidence”, tagging and cataloging completely harmless users in the sort of overreach that would have George Orwell not only rolling over in his grave, but kicking at the lid of his coffin as well.
