Russian ambassador: If Sweden joins NATO, there will be 'consequences'
[Business Insider] Russia's ambassador to Sweden has warned the country of the potential military "consequences" associated with joining NATO in an interview with the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, The Local reports.
Russian Ambassador Viktor Tatarintsev told Dagens Nyheter that Russia does not have any military plans against Sweden, in line with Stockholm's alliance neutrality.
But Tatarintsev warned that this could change if Sweden were to join the NATO alliance.
So now 9.6m Swedes are a threat to the bear.
"I don't think it will become relevant in the near future, even though there has been a certain swing in public opinion. But if it happens there will be counter-measures," Tatarintsev said according to a translation from The Local.
I really am tiring of listening to these gangsters threaten and bloviate.
