Prelude to Article V?
The absolute worst case scenario for Russia?
I mean they've lost over 200,000 troops in ONE AND A HALF YEARS. Putin just sends them to die at rates that would make an Anti-Vietnam hippie spontaneously combust. They may be at 4 Vietnams in 18 months in total losses.
And done with NATO countries + Austrailia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea castaway artillery, aircraft, and financial support.
Putin doesn't get his precious buffer. He can have his bitch is Belarus, but it's gotta piss him off that the Polish have a better quality of life now.
He gets to kill all his fodder, brainwash them with bias media, and still eventually have to pack his sh*t and go back to his crappy country..
The 2nd largest miltary in the world JUST GOT ITS ASS KICKED BY A PROXY NATO EXHIBITION IN ACTUAL WORLD DOMINANCE. And I wouldn't really worry about their nukes.
All China can do is sail the few ships they can build by Alaska to puff out their chest a little.

I provided access to the site only to show the clock sweetheart.
Do you actually believe that to be a souce that isn't just parroting mainstream
tabloids. There's an obvious shadow of desparation in your post.
The one where the US had to come to their rescue.

Logistically, makes sense to train people on their own soil, in areas that are safe from enemy fire.

Not only that but Trump was supportive of using the US military in some capacity to help Ukraine. Like so many other issues trump is all over the place

I feel 6 plus years of anti-Russian sentiment has preprogrammed you all to automatically hate anything and anyone Russian? Because that's certainly what it looks like from where I sit.
Personal I feel they should draft every person like yourself first. The people who have been beating the drums of war for the establishment since the start of this should be the first to sacrifice themselves for this cause.
I would like to remind you people say things at certain times (Trump) but when other information comes along they can change their opinions 100 degrees.
Hundreds of thousands of fighting age Ukrainians have fled to Poland. Zelenski has tightened the borders down to stop others leaving and has asked the Polish government to round up all those men and return them to Ukraine. Poland has refused and told Zelenski that no more money or arms are coming from Poland. They can a last see that they were being used by NATO. PS. What makes anyone think that Zelenski is in Ukraine. His time is up and he will be looking for "asylum" somewhere. Probably in his Florida mansion or his Israeli mansion or his lake side "chalet" in Switzerland Or it could be his luxury yacht the last I heard was in Monaco.

The Ukraine has been winning for AGES now.
I wonder why the Brits are going there…
Maybe for the victory celebration?
I almost fell off my chair at the legion laughing. Russia if they choose can squash the Ukraine like a bug. You're a funny guy lol

Really? Really??? You seriously think that? They've been fighting their genocidal, land-grab of a war for a year and half now, Kyiv is beyond their reach, Kharkiv is beyond their reach, the attempt on Odessa was stillborn from the start, the Black Sea Fleet has run away, they're buying shells from North Korea - you really think that Russia's a great military power? Russia's Army is a hollow shell, stuck together with packing tape, unable to advance very far, reeling from defeat after defeat, led by the corrupt and the incompetent.
I almost fell off my chair laughing at your ludicrous claim. Get some better information.

Yeah, there’s got to be financial and power motives for Putin, to not have just obliterated Ukraine for a laugh. Stringing it along has to be benefiting him somehow.
Just like US politicians and the cartels. We could make them go “poof” in a 24-hour operation. But the money in human trafficking, drug selling, child selling, sex slaving, is too big on both sides of the border.
with liberal and 3rd way politics espoused by left/right in name only groups in the us/uk/canada circling a form of actual fascism in the face of imminent decline, a decline not seen since the mid 20s early 30s, a decline that gave the rise to nazism, fascism and Stalinism..
we are at one of the tipping points where liberalism and imperialism are in obvious death throes hence the voices out to defend their empire/imperialist views..
In we're either facing a modern reformation or a soviet like fall changes that'll do more harm to Putin, Iran, China than this war could as it opens the door to letting go of the new liberalism and new imperialism shackling the west to perpetual instability, war and decline..
