Increase encirclement of Russia. That's a legitimate card for US to use in order to further pressure Russia.
It all depends on the cost-benefit analysis made by Russian planners.
Russia sees NATO as the US' preferred tool to contain Russia. By expanding into Sweden/Finland (or 1 of them), it further increases US strategic position versus Russia.
If Russia is throwing a fit because NATO is trying to expand into Ukraine, what will it think of if NATO expands to Sweden/Finland
That's why I am saying that the US still has cards to play against Russia. Obviously Russia has cards too, so in the end it all depends on who has a stronger hand
The United States approached Hungary this week to ask the country to host a temporary troop deployment related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
However, given the tense US administration relationship with the Viktor Orban government since Biden took office - centered on seeking to isolate the conservative prime minister known for his unapologetic 'Hungary First' policies - the prospect remains highly unlikely.
CNN further reports that Romania and Bulgaria are also mulling the acceptance of additional US deployments. Both eastern European NATO countries are typically much more amenable to US security requests, and Romania already provocatively hosts coastal defense missiles on the Black Sea.
Among the security guarantees Russia is currently seeking from Washington and Brussels is precisely that NATO forces leave Bulgaria and Romania.
Thus when it comes to Hungary, from the point of view of officials in Budapest they are unlikely to want to see their country thrust into the middle of the tense escalating Russia vs. West standoff.
In a Russian media interview FM Sergey Lavrov said Friday "If it’s up to the Russian Federation, there will be no war. We do not want wars. But we won’t allow the West to grossly ignore our interests, either," according to .

You are vastly overrating the US and the F-35. F-35 crashed three times already by British, Japanese, and Murican forces. In addition to that, South Korea recently grounded their F-35A fleets due to landing gear malfunction which led to the belly landing of one of them.
Genocide of slow trains.
Well, if you know Palahniuk and read some of the stuff he posts - he is a pretty sarcastic person. The
is obviously sarcasm but he is not exactly against it either, he just does not give a fuck and points out the hypocrisy of white liberal neckbeards who are losing their shit over that while his books have been censored in parts of MuriKKKa for ages. He also mentions that the film ending has been changed for different markets in the past but only when it is China, it became a problem for white libs. That's why they are now coping on Reddit by calling the book shit and that the film is better because fireworks.
Its been interesting to see the policy wreckage and own goals scored by the Biden administration its its conducting of its "Ukraine Invasion" project.
Russia has made it very clear for the past 70 years that Finland joining a foreign military alliance means an actual war.
There's a reason why there is a term called Finlandisation
UKRAINE FAKE CRISIS
CNN journos doing damage control after the network's Natasha Bertrand panicked and deleted tweets containing harsh comments reportedly made by President Biden to Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky - namely that a Russian invasion was "imminent," that the Capital city of Kyiv could be "sacked," and to "prepare for impact."
Now - NONE of that apparently happened according to CNN's Jim Sciutto, the White House, and apparently Ukraine itself. Of note, CNN claims their source was a "senior Ukrainian official."
Human Events' Jack Posobiec lays it out:
BREAKING: We have recovered the Ukraine call report that Jake Tapper and CNN just deleted
But the statement immediately after the call of Zelensky himself was much more toned down compared to the White House rhetoric...
"Discussed recent diplomatic efforts on de-escalation and agreed on joint actions for the future," Zelenskiy said in a tweet. "Thanked President Joe Biden for the ongoing military assistance," he said, also affirming that the US offered further financial support to Ukraine, which was highlighted in the Biden statement.
Apparently, Biden was unaware of the talks going on this week in Paris between Germany, France, Russia, and Ukraine
THEN METALLICMAN...
Black Operations 101;
Secrets are actually secret. Anything “leaked” in the news is a distraction and not an actual secret. Anything and everything you read in the American and Western Bloc “news” are intentional distractions. Real significant events are never reported on, and if so, it is long, long after the fact.
Thus, the purpose of the “news” media is a barometer. It’s a measure of what distractions are being put in place. The bigger; the more enormous the hyped up distraction, the more significant the actual events are.
And there is one major, significant, distraction going on right now. It’s the “so-called” Russian build-up to invade the Ukraine.
