The Russian Embassy in Stockholm has threatened Sweden and Finland with military retaliation if the two countries join the NATO alliance, pointing to the increasing number of Swedes expressing solidarity with Russia and shunning Stockholm’s ‘transatlantic ambitions’.

The post appeared on the embassy’s Facebook profile on Wednesday evening.

“If anyone still believes that this will somehow improve Europe’s security, you can be sure that the new members of the hostile bloc will become a legitimate target for Russia’s retaliatory measures, including military ones,” the post reads.

The Russian Embassy accused Sweden of gradually becoming an American colony and criticised the country’s support of Ukraine.

“Sweden has been steady, step by step, deprived of its foreign policy sovereignty and prepared for an obedient transformation into another American colony,” it added,  noting that “Sweden, ignoring its own defence capabilities, is rapidly increasing deliveries of heavy offensive equipment, including taking it out of combat service.”

“Swedish volunteers are joining Ukrainian military forces and, by some extraordinary coincidence, are part of the Defence Forces’ continuous service personnel,” it added.

The Russian Embassy also claims that it has been receiving an increasing number of letters from Swedes who support Russia, though it declined to publish them.

“The embassy is receiving more and more letters from ordinary Swedes condemning Stockholm’s transatlantic ambitions and expressing their solidarity with Russia. We have already explained why we are not publishing them,” the statement reads.

Russia’s ambassador to Sweden, Viktor Tatarintsev, has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry, announced Foreign Minister Tobias Billström on Wednesday.

“It is important for Sweden to be able to protest against what is an obvious attempt at influence, and the most appropriate way to do this within diplomacy is to summon the ambassador and talk about it,” he said, adding that Sweden’s security policy is determined by Sweden and no one else.

Even though Finland has now been voted in to NATO, we can see from Russia’s response that NATO is a thorny issue with Europe.  This is whay leaders of both France and Germany have made noises about needing a different arrangement with Russia, French President Emmanual Macron has said that Europe needs a ‘Security Pact’ with Russia to put an end to the confrontation over NATO.

But despite what happens, the Bible has long revealed that Russia and an EU Army will enter into a final conflict with Israel and the Middle East.  Germany is the key country in what Bible Prophecy refers to as the land of “Magog”. They are spoken of militarily as the “King of the North”.  Together the Bible says that Russia and the EU will invade the Middle East in the Last Days.  So Bible Students expect to see Germany and France taking a greater role in leading Europe.  It is also interesting to see Germany taking greater control of a continent they tried to take by war and failed.

Yet again we see in Todays News Headlines words that show how the Nations are fulfilling the latter day alignment of Nations as Prophesied by the Bible.
