McConnell Says Congress Hopes to Approve Sweden’s NATO Bid by August

McConnell made the comments to reporters in Stockholm on Monday after Sweden officially announced it will apply to NATO to provide better security for the country in the wake of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
...
“Sweden and Finland already have long track records as two of the United States and NATO’s most capable friends and partners, even from outside the alliance,” the Senate Republican leader said.

Short Editorial

And that's exactly how you can make Biden's dream of starting WW3 come true, McConnell.
NATO has been expanding its borders eastwards ever since 1999. Obviously, Russia would prefer to attack other countries if their decisions make its own country feel surrounded by the alliance led by UK and USA.

Poor Ukrainians. Their president isn't the best leader they could get during a war. He's just a comedian. This war could have ended soon enough if they had a real commander in chief that had some diplomatic and military experience.

I know that both US and Russia don't hang along, and honestly I don't mind. The real threat isn't Russia, which is already undergoing a serious recession, but China. The CCP is still stealing all kinds of knowledge and technologies from US and even DNA from people partaking in the covid PCR test process based on a report by NTD News. Therefore I have to ask this, why is China not being targeted by sanctions? Why did Biden agree to lift Trump's sanctions against China?

Russian Energy Company Shuts Off Electricity to Finland

Russian energy company RAO Nordic shut off electricity supplies to neighbouring Finland over the weekend, claiming that it had not received payments from Finland due to sanctions.

RAO Nordic, a subsidiary of the Russian energy company Inter RAO,  suspended the export of electricity on May 14th according to an announcement made by Finland’s majority state-owned national electricity transmission grid operator Fingrid.
...
Around ten per cent of Finland’s electricity is imported from Russia but Fingrid has claimed that Finns’ electrical needs will still be met even if no electricity is being imported from Russia at all.
...
RAO Nordic has claimed that the shut off is related to missing payments saying, “Due to problems in receiving payments for electricity sold on the market, further direct or bilateral sales of electricity imported from Russia will be halted until further notice.”

Others have raised questions about the timing of the electricity shut off, including lobbyist Jukka Leskelä, CEO of the Energy Industry Association, who said the move may be tied to Finland possibly joining the NATO alliance after Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister Sanna Marin announced they backed the country joining NATO last week.
