But clearly we aren’t going to go to war with Russia over them invading a non-NATO country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a treaty is more important than a nuclear war, why isn’t anything else? China’s a nuclear nation as well. Do they get a free pass too? Do all of them? NATO has article 5. We are bound to respond as if attacked ourselves. But you know this already.... what do you propose? The situation is very complicated and it sucks. What do you propose can be done militarily?

They have suffered casualties like anyone else does in war but they are easily on track to achieve their short term goals of regime change despite the Ukrainians putting up a decent fight. Kyiv will fall in a matter of days. Long term I think Russia will have massive issues occupying Ukraine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, they’ve suffered more casualties than they anticipated - that’s the point. No need to have a defeatist attitude about it even if Russia will prevail militarily in the immediate term. As you say, they will have a very hard time governing/occupying Ukraine. Putin is in his final stretch here too and is desperate - between his age and the internal politics of Russia and his oligarchs. Hopefully this will drive Finland into NATO. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
