NAFO is a smaller-scale version of what Russia has been doing on the Internet for about two decades now. As always with them, it's pure projection

I imagine NAFO is a frustrating meme to counter for Russia, because all it takes is the Fellas turning up enmasse in a tweet's comments to immediately destroy any faked credibility it might have as anything other than Russian propaganda. There's no ambiguity like Russia normally has to bullshit in, it's just a hard outcome of NAFO mocking == bad and ignore.

In other news, the commander of a russian submarine, who's been responsible for launching missile strikes on Ukraine as well as hiring mobiks, seems to have suffered a small accident.

He did, he OK'd the voting process for Finland and Sweden to start back then. Now he announced to get the Turkey's acceptance vote for Sweden to move forward, Finland got it already in April.

With our current government, shadow ruled by fascists, I would expect them to try and way they can think of. It should be difficult unless they figure out a way to bypass our constitution though since altering that takes two governments. OTOH, Sweden is built on naïvety a la Bud Air, so once people in charge act against the interest of the state and intention of the rule of law most things break down.
