Switzerland would fold if enough pressure was applied, like they folded on their banks, which are the cornerstone of their economy. Snowden is a lot less important to them than their banks, so a lot less pressure would be needed. His only realistic options were Russia or China, any other country would either fold under State Department pressure or is insecure enough for him to be snatched and taken to USA.
Unlikely, he is a public face, they are conscripting common people.
Honestly, not sure if a sub would actually work here, the water's so shallow you could likely see it. Far better is just some people in a boat with scuba gear, and C4.

How much C4 do you need for an explosion the equivalent of 100 kg of TNT?
On a pipeline full of hydrocarbons under pressure, probably 10-20 lbs per blast site.
Ukraine formally applies for fast-track NATO membership

It's on biatches.
We absolutely cannot let them in while they are still at war with Russia. After that, maybe, but before that is a hard no.
Why?
At this point, there is no real reason not to let Ukraine in, given how closely tied to NATO it has become and that, as Zach says, Russia already considers this a war with NATO.
I can tell it's a photoshop. A person so beloved of nature would never be alone underwater, all manner of colorful fishes would flock to her and start singing a song about how much she dreams of adventure or a boyfriend or whatever such princesses dream of.
And do what, exactly; invade Russia?
No, they don't, or they would have invaded the Baltic states already.
Letting them in obligates us to go to war with Russia immediately. Send our troops in to fight Russian troops. It's a horrible idea that ends with nukes. You got a bunker?
