Okay, so Sweden, bless their Viking hearts, just had to swat away a Russian drone buzzing around a French aircraft carrier like a mosquito at a BBQ. Turns out Vlad's been playing his usual games in the Baltic Sea, sending up a little birdie from one of his ships to, uh, 'observe.' Yeah, right. More like 'poke the bear' but with a drone instead of a stick.

The Frenchies are there probably because they're bored with Macron's lectures on pronouns or something, and decided to take their big boat for a spin. And of course, right on cue, here comes the drone, courtesy of our favorite geopolitical jester, Putin. Seriously, does this guy ever get tired of trolling? I'm convinced he watches Fox News and lives in our heads rent-free.

This whole thing is just another day at the office in the new Cold War. Remember that time Russia “accidentally” flew a couple of bombers near Alaska? Or when their subs mysteriously appeared off the coast of Scotland? It's the same playbook, folks. They probe, we whine, then we go back to buying their oil and pretending everything's normal. Rinse, repeat.

Here's the truth: Putin only respects strength. Every time we apologize for existing or lecture him on human rights while simultaneously funding his regime, he laughs all the way to the bank. The West needs to stop playing patty-cake and start acting like it has a pair. Nuclear winter would own the libs, after all.

Sweden isn't even in NATO, but they still have the guts to tell Putin to pound sand. Maybe it's because they still remember the good ol' days when Vikings pillaged and plundered. These days, most of the West is just trying to figure out what pronouns to put on their Twitter bio.

So, what's the takeaway? Russia's gonna keep doing Russia things. Drones, submarines, cyberattacks – it's all part of the show. The real question is: when are we gonna stop being useful idiots and start pushing back for real?

Don't hold your breath waiting for the 'woke' military to stand up for anything except the proper use of gender-neutral pronouns. The whole thing is a clown show, folks, and we're all paying the price. At least Sweden isn't totally braindead. God bless 'em.

Time to dust off the Cold War playbook, ramp up defense spending, and remind Putin that we haven't completely forgotten how to play hardball. And maybe, just maybe, stop buying so much of his oil. Just a thought. De-fund, de-platform, de-Russify. It's the only way.

While we're at it, maybe we should just nuke the drone fleet? It's not like they're flying around spreading love. Nah, just kidding... mostly. This is what happens when you let Commies win the culture war.

In the meantime, keep your eyes on the Baltic Sea. Things are about to get interesting. And maybe buy some extra popcorn. It's gonna be a long show.
