Breaking - UK Forms Military Defence Alliance With Finland and Sweden by SeeThisLoser: 7:47pm On May 11, 2022
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday signed a defense agreement with Finland.

"The Russian invasion of Ukraine has changed the equation of European security and it has rewritten our reality and reshaped our future," Johnson said, speaking at a news conference in Helsinki.

"We've seen the end of the post-Cold War period, and the invasion of Ukraine sadly has opened a new chapter," he said, adding that the war had brought Finland and the UK "even closer together."

"That invasion has already failed for two reasons. Firstly, because of the unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people who have fought back and rallied the world behind them.

"Second, because that Ukrainian struggle for freedom, that heroic fight, has brought the world together in condemnation of this assault on our values," said Johnson.

He added that the defense pact meant Britain and Finland could intensify their partnership and "take it to unparalleled heights."

"Our armed forces will train, operate, and exercise together, marrying our defense and security capabilities and formalizing a pledge that we will always come to one another's aid," said the premier.

He vowed that the agreement would serve not as "a short term stop gap" as Finland considers NATO membership, but as an "enduring assurance" between the two countries.

Earlier in the day, Britain signed a similar pact with Sweden.

Both Finland and Sweden are weighing whether to join NATO after Russia launched a war on Ukraine in late February.

They are expected to make their decisions later this month.

The UK has enough nuclear weapons to be a serious deterrent to Russia. The UK has almost the same quantity of nukes that China has. Only 30 nukes are required to turn Russia into planet mars.

But when it comes to a conventional war, the UK will deal with Russia. War is no longer won by numbers or size, but technology and competency.

The UK, US and NATO are all taking part in the Syrian war where Russia have helped Syrian government to reclaim 70% of their country. They should defeat Russia there first before boasting of winning one on one vs Russia. If e sure for UK they should go ahead and declare a one on one war with Russia and tell NATO to back off and watch. Fighting in packs like wild dogs doesn't make you king of the jungle, the bear is always ready.

The US and NATO have no interest in Syria.
Yet spent over $10B to train Syria rebels.
Syria war was the reason Saudi and many gulf nations apart from Qatar went back to Russia after they saw what Russia did.
Gulf nations alone spent Billions of dollars.
NATO tried to enforce no fly zone as far back as 2011 that was even before Russia military campaign started in 2015 sept when Rebels were few kilometres away from President palace

It doesn't matter how many nuclear weapons Putin hides under his bed, Russia won't and can not survive any Nuclear attack against any NATO country.
