Sitrep: Russia Looking to extend reach,

Russia negotiating access to ports and facilities to extend reach.
Putin isn't playing around and he is proving that he has totally owned the U.S. President.  This bodes badly for our national and personal security.

Sweden and Finland worried about Russian Intentions.
Forget the Swedes since they have lost everything about their Viking heritage.  The Finns at least proved they can hold the Russians at bay.  Joining NATO now will only add costs to the allies already in while the Swedes would be a weak ally.
