Sweden is preparing for a Russian operation to capture the island of Gotland, according to the head of the country’s armed forces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Swedish defense chief, Michael Claesson, said Moscow could seize land “at any time” to test NATO’s resolve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It doesn’t need to be particularly sweeping, but to make a point and wait to see what might happen politically,” Clason said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

NATO military exercises have traditionally focused on a potential Russian land attack on NATO’s eastern flank, but attention is now shifting to the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

War games have simulated possible Russian landings on strategically important islands such as Gotland in Sweden, Bornholm in Denmark, and Hiiumaa and Saaremaa in Estonia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Swedish military intelligence has warned that Russia is capable of expanding its war in the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They also warn that an end to the Russia war could allow Putin to redeploy forces closer to NATO territory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The warning came after Putin sparked an uproar on social media after footage purportedly showed his motorcade rushing towards the Kremlin for a late-night meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Video footage, which has not been independently verified, shows several official cars racing through the Russian capital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It comes after the US President donald trump<\/a> He has repeatedly attacked NATO allies over their lack of support for the Iran war.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Recently at a Turning Point vent in Arizona on Friday, April 17, Trump said during his keynote speech that his country has to rely on itself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump said: “If NATO teaches us any one thing, and I hope you all saw that because they weren’t there for us, if it teaches us any one thing: we have to trust ourselves.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
