YOU'RE BEING FOOLED BY A RUSSIAN SUBMARINE

[To the tune of Yellow Submarine by The Beatles: You're being fooled by a Russian submarine]

Are you wondering why (a) Russia would send a submarine into those tricky channels around Stockholm, (b) send a distress signal in Russian, and (c) the Swedish military somehow cannot find it?

Then panic no more.

The whole dramatic, nail-biting episode is a hoax.

It is all about dragging Sweden in to NATO.

Sweden is currently neutral, but both Sweden and Finland are being encouraged/enticed into NATO.

Sweden hasn't accused the submarine of being Russian. So if so, then where have the rumours come from that the sub (if that is what it is) is Russian?

Russia claims the submarine is Dutch.

But here is the editorial in the NATO flagship media outlet The Guardian:

Embarrassment lies in store whether this intelligence operation finds anything or not. The only question is who will be most embarrassed. The Russians cannot have meant this particular incursion as a signal, since it was meant to stay secret. If the Swedes succeed in finding and rescuing the submarine, the Russians will look like blundering bullies. If, on the other hand, the Swedes fail, it will be more difficult even for them to believe that their armed forces play any great part in ensuring the security of their country. In the long run, the logic of Sweden’s geostrategic position makes Nato membership almost inevitable. This incursion, coming so soon after the invasion of the Crimea and Ukraine, should help to make the point clear.

So, Sweden's membership of NATO is inevitable, eh?

It is NATO on the march, not Russia.

From Checkpoint Charlie to Kiev. It is logical that the ever-expandng NATO empire would try to expand into Scandinavia. NATO recently grabbed Kiev through financing anti-Russian organisations in Ukraine with over $5 billion over 20 years, and then backing bona fide violent neo Nazi thugs when the then legitimate government in Kiev decided to reject a deal with the EU and IMF in favour of a deal with Russia, who kicked out that government in a violent NATO sponsored coup.

No. This is a hoax.

How incompetent and ridiculous are the Swedish Navy if they can't find a submarine in a narrow channel so close to their capital city?!

This is all about NATO expansion into Scandinavia. The Guardian's response has exposed the hoax.

So make yourself a brew, sit back, relax and digest your daily NATO propaganda.
