Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned Thursday that nuclear weapons would be placed in the Baltic Sea region if Finland and Sweden join NATO.
Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council and a close ally to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Medvedev threatened to deploy the weapons after Finland and Sweden said they will decide whether to join NATO within the next several weeks.
“[I]f Sweden and Finland join NATO, the length of the land borders of the alliance with the Russian Federation will more than double,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram , as translated. “Naturally, these boundaries will have to be strengthened.”
He threatened that Russia would seriously “strengthen the grouping of ground forces and air defense [and] deploy significant naval forces in the waters of the Gulf of Finland.”
Two new NATO members would make it “no longer be possible to talk about any non-nuclear status of the Baltic,” he said, adding that “the balance must be restored.”
If they join NATO, Russia would place “hypersonics and ships with nuclear weapons literally at arm’s length” from the two countries, Medvedev said.
Russia has the world’s largest nuclear arsenal with an estimated 6,000 nuclear warheads.
CIA Director William Burns warned Thursday that “none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons,” Reuters reported.
We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our brand new GiveSendGo page.
