Putin could attempt territorial encroachment in Finland but Gotland invasion farcical | Chip Chapman

- “You’ve got a strategic dilemma for Russia in the notion that the Baltic is now NATO’s lake”.
Maj Gen Chip Chapman tells #timesradio that the notion “Russia would do any overt action on Gotland” is “farcical”. But it is "credible" that they might take “hybrid action in the region” including “territorial encroachment in Finland”.

No chance. I'm a Brit that has been living in Finland for twenty years. I don't know any young guys who have not done their military training and are prepared to defend the place. Finland has enough underground bunkers and facilities to house the entire population safe against missile attacks. Finland is also pretty well armed. Likely the safest place to be.

@@jim2376 Exactly.
As a self acclaimed Historian, pootin must remember that Finland stood strong during the Russo-Finnish war. This time, Finland has lots of allies.
I think rushn's just want to believe they have a real military lol. If they can't even take 10% of U kraine after 2 years and 400,000 casualties, I highly doubt they could invade Finland. Or anywhere. Or even afford to drive there 🤣
And the question is with what ? Thanks to Ukrainians russia need to create a new army first and it takes several years. Northern russian military bases are almost empty of soldiers and vehicles it can be seen in satellite images. The tanks and vehicles have been sent to Ukraine and most of them have already been destroyed or captured and most of units will never come back ,they are 6 feet under
@@londop.a.3048 I think rushns' just want to convince themselves they actually have a real army left. _Helsinki in THREE DAYS!_ 😂😂😂😂😂
You are so right! The brave and intelligent Fins stood up in 1939!greetings from geir Røssaak , Norway!
Ps! I love Finland, Suomi!
Putin should have had more walks in nature during Covid. He would have appreciated life more. Instead he got to stare at a map all day in some isolated basement and got this crazy idea that he needs to conquer Europe.
If they can't take even 10% of a country that is the second poorest in Europe and didn't even have an army 3 years ago, I don't think rushns' would want to tangle with Finland. They'd have to have a _real_ military to do that😂
LOL

I am far from being pro Russian. But I need to say, I've been observing for ages that the cumulative west has been underestimating Russians. Poo tin is desperate. Besides, he is slowly replacing army generals, who won't execute every command of this maniac with his old cronies. Poo tin has been saying for ages, that the world without Russia has no right to exist (I understand Russian and listen to his speeches). He would sacrifice even his own country just to show the West that his nuclear talk wasn't an empty threat.
@@nick_no1 Agree this man is clearly insane. He has a dangerous obsession with land grabbing old soviet territory - at all costs seemingly.
US Senator Tom Cotton: ”Finland is probably the least likely to be attacked by Russia. Finland has a 900,000-man reserve it can draw on in time of crisis and can field an army of 280,000 when fully mobilized; which means Finland’s reserves are larger than the reserves of France, Germany, and Italy-combined. Finland has one of the strongest artillery forces in Europe, with more rocket launchers and howitzers than France, Germany, or the United Kingdom.”
You are so right!
Tom "Run like a girl" Cotton got something right.... well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. 🙂
Nato countries have a combined population just short of 1 billion.
Russia 170 million.
The reserve of manpower available to nato is 7 times Russias.
Russia is outnumbered in ships, aircraft, tanks, artillery,
Soldiers,
Russian logistics are minescule compared to natos.
Nato countries have access to combined factories totalling over 100,000 an estimate on Russia, around 1000.
This Putin knows,
His only recourse is,
Small invade and annexe campaigns,
Of countries that border him,
Or, obtain an alliance with China, to plunge the world into a new cold war, one that China resists because its economy will be wrecked within a week, never to rise, you don't sacrifice that for Putin.
Or, you flex your nuclear muscles, hoping it intimidate.
And Gotland is basically an island aircraft carrier group by itself.

Everyone needs to look at the whole Russo-Baltic situation from a common sense point of view.
The Baltic and European Nations would not need an organization like NATO if it were not for the aggressive and invasive attitude of Russia.
At the end of the Cold War we should have seen Russia progressively join the World trade organisations and recruit former Soviet Nations into a trade conglomerate that would rival both the West and China.
Instead Putin has opted to restore the status quo, i.e. create the Soviet Union V2.0 by means of aggression, brutality and threats.
This has made NATO even more viable, as indicated by two previously reluctant Nations joining NATO, which is in a way, unfortunate. What the World really wanted, and needed, after the fall of the Soviet state, was for NATO to be redundant.
In this sense Putin demonstrates his stupidity and impatience. He could have used the last 20 years to create an impression of peace and cooperation and watch NATO dissolve; Russia would have then had the opportunity to ambush the West when the major power they were defending against was seen to be irrelevant. Instead they continued with the classic Imperial approach and continued to victimize their neighbours and others i.e. Transnistria, Chechnia, Georgia, Abkhazia, Syria. This is a huge indicator of the weakness and fragility of Putin. He could not set a long term plan in place; he needs to be the Imperial Ruler right now, in his lifetime. It also indicates that the plan is a Putin plan, as opposed to a Russian plan.
We need to eliminate Putin.
Compleet idiot Putin.

Bizarre empty stadium echo from Chip accompanied by equally bizarre and mostly unrelated background clips by Times Radio...altogether unprofessional.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but turn your speakers off. That echo is pretty ridiculous.
Also it's not very professional when the presenter uses sort of this, sort of that.
the reason there is an echo there are hard floors and no furniture. Visit a brand new building that does not have carpets or furniture(which is empty of machines,wood tables,stuff that reflect the sound back to you. even a flat paint absorbs and reflect sound in different directions which would cancel out the echo This is another newbie. All you can is turn down the volume.
He has to listen to his own broadcasts Geeze throw in a used couch to fix it & a couple cases of beer. a throw rug 7 bric brack, Is it is soft and squshy(hair color does not matter) An empty room is the worst to record in
Of course those ruzzian ancient oil tankers are a threat in Baltic Sea!
Firstly, they are single hulled vessels as opposed to modern double hulled ones. Those are barely sea worthy. Baltic Sea is quite vulnerable nearly closed ecosystem. A serious "accident" with any of these museum pieces would cause massive economic problems right away.
By the way, the Ahvenanmaa Island is the correct Finnish name for Åland, which is it's Swedish name. That archipelago is an autonomous de-militarized tertirory of Finland.
Ruzzia is known to weaponize civilian vessels, just like the Chinese freighter rhat purpotedly cut and damaged the gas pipeline and submarine internet cable with it's anchor in Gulf of Finland last year.
Same apply to any oil tanker that gets registered from Canary islands(all do that for cheaper insurance like the U.S.(always look in the mirror) Remember the TITAN. Built cheap. man is always trying to beat the (physics)he knows.
Why does the opening statement keep getting repeated? Don’t you think we have the attention span to remember it?
The editors think they are producing a show for radio. Clearly don't understand the multimedia landscape. Same as the old print newspaper industry. Stuck in the past.
And how do these *media organizations* consistently produce content with such poor quality audio?
Clearly the owner of the chanel sees how long people spend on the video and would probably disagree with you.

Dear Times' guest. You Could consider having a proper microphone next time you appear in a net show. Please. Saves us listeners for unconvenience
Indeed it would be nice if they didn't require their guest to converse through the medium of a racecourse public loudspeaker
The reporter forgot to mute his mic when he was done talking. This caused the reverb effect.
@@stevem647 Yeah, but they finally solved the volume problem. 😀
Sweden can harden Gotland on their own initiative. They don't need either NATO permission or NATO garrison troops. Russian action against or on Gotland should be precluded, whether covert, hybrid or overt.
Svalbard should also be secured.
As a Norwegian I know you are right!
This channel talks about Russia attacking Finland or the Baltics but why would he do it?They don't explain the motive.
Did he need a reason to invade Ukraine? He wants to restore the empire, that is motive enough for him.
@@cyberfunk3793 Russia was fine with an independent Finland for 80 years,Putin 24 years.Russia just randomly attacking Finland now doesn't make sense.

@@davidshapiro292 " Russia was fine with an independent Finland for 80 years"
Read up on Finlandization. They were heavily influenced to behave a certain way towards the Soviet Union ever since ww2. As for reasons to why Russia would attack today, look at a map. The Baltic is now a NATO lake. It did not use to be. A geopolitically obsessed nation would be very interested in annexing Gotland and Åland to be part of the protection of Kaliningrad.
Putin said he would not attack ukraine right upon the time when he sending soldiers up to their border .
@@cyberfunk3793 This has nothing to do with restoring some old empire, its about security and the threat Putin sees from a Ukraine being allowed into Nato with missile systems right on his border.
I like the stadium microphone effect...
Finland fought with Russia when it was stronger than ever (the Soviet Union in Stalin's era). Finland won most of the battles but loss the war because there were no ammos left (Finland was alone). Sweden failed the war big time when they last time faced Russia in 1808-1809. The US experts have much greater expertise than these Brits.
1. Finland is now stronger than ever (prepared for decades)
2. Russia is now weaker than ever (lost already 1/3 of its total ground forces)
3. Finland is not alone anymore

No it could not. Surely, it's absolute nonsense - Finland together with Sweden, Norway, UK and many other NATO members and/or another alliance with quicker response (there are Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, UK, three Baltic states and Poland) is such a military power that it can only happen if Putin's wants quickly get rid off his still remained army (Russia has retained recruit ressources but losses in tanks, armored vehicles, jets etc are colossal)
Just a technical comment. The sound quality of your productions is sub par. Voices seem to come from the bottom of a tin can, the camera positioning is also bad unless we want to be informed of the content of ones nostrils, otherwise I have been enjoying your channel for more than a year now.
"bottom of a tin can" is not a technical comment
Finland is a bit prepared for that sort of thing. That border is long but now so fortified.
I guess the sound engineer was having a sleep
So we're talking about unfounded fears and a situation that Putin may be would like to see, but which is not possible and thus hypothetical. What's the use of these interviews?

Just a couple question to "contemplate": How is it even possible for Russia, to be a member of the Security Council?
The USSR, was a member, and as I see it, you can`t "inherit", such a position.
Russia, is a completely different country, by it`s name, borders, laws, etc.
This is not, a country, selected to participate in UN. Correct me, if I am wrong.
And, why is For an example, Germany still "sleeping", and possibly waiting for Ruzzians, to knock on Berlins door, again?
Why don`t EU, send the weapons to Ukraine, before, they continue to start an other, "special operation".
To Estonia, Poland, and other boarding countries, with concurred and "summoned", Ukrainian peoples, in their here!
This will be the fact, if we, as Europeans, don`do something drastically, now, before those brave Ukrainians died trying to protect their, sovereing country.
I am ashamed, to be a part of this humiliating spectacle!
Do something! Wake up!
from a Finn in Diaspora, who lost his part of a sovereing, and brave country, to such cowardliness!
