Swedish defense minister calls Russian violation of airspace 'unacceptable'

Wed, March 2, 2022, 2:14 PM·1 min read
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Four Russian fighter jets briefly entered Swedish territory over the Baltic Sea on Wednesday, the Swedish Armed Forces said, sparking a swift condemnation from Sweden's defence minister.

Two Russian SU27 and two SU24 fighter jets briefly entered Swedish airspace east of the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, Sweden's Armed Forces said in a statement, adding that Swedish JAS 39 Gripen jets were sent to document the violation.

"The Russian violation of Swedish airspace is of course completely unacceptable," Defence Minister Peter Hultqvist told news agency TT. "It will lead to a firm diplomatic response from Sweden. Swedish sovereignty and territory must always be respected."

Sweden's Armed Forces said the situation was under control and that the incident showed preparedness was good.

CNN needs to do a sky-hook operation and scoop Erin Burnett out of the warzone

Pre-text I am not a misogynist by any means so don't flame me. SOMEONE else in my home likes her so I have to listen at times The woman has no business reporting from a warzone. She doesnt understand it, hasnt got the stomach for it and she is like fingernails on a chalkboard when I hear her reports from Ukraine. Yesterday she whined and whined about what good are the sanctions against Russia when there are people suffering on the ground. They finally moved her to the Polish border where shes whining again that nobody is doing enough to help these people. This is fucking war, its ugly, it sucks, its evil and its not a weekend little league game dammit. We are as close to a nuclear war as we have been since the year I was born. If you want to report on the human tradgety of war do so but please, please don't whine and complain. Its fucking war and it fucking sucks big time.

Just had to vent sorry.

1400 Russian protesters "detained"

When people ask why the Russian people are letting this happen, this is why. Most people in the US cant even fathom the way the heavy hand of the Putin state brutalizes its people into submission. This is the way it's always been. From the monarchies back 300 years ago to the con of the Bolsheviks, the genocides of Stalin, the crushing isolation of the Cold War to the Stalinistic sociopathy of the current regime. The Russian people have never known even a semi free and open society that has a say in their government. All they've known is oppression, torture and death for speaking up. That is why they tow the line and force themselves to believe in their leaders. The state not only brutally punishs the protestors, they go after their families in true gangster fashion. It takes great courage and sacrifice, even a life, to stand up and be heard. These protestors are heroes on another level.

This is what Putin is truly afraid of, the "cancer" of Democracy spreading from Ukraine into his kingdom. As the President said, this is a pivotal point for the life of democracies around the world and that is why we must stand firm now. These sanctions along with a directed information campaign and a wall of steel along the eastern Ukraine may be enough to give the Russian people the confidence to rise up against this madman. IMO thats the only way this ends without mushroom clouds.
