And the reason NATO forces haven't intervened is what?

[Sherman A1]

1. Because NATO has not been attacked.

You know that as well as I do.

2. That's right, NATO believes in world peace in our time.

They are just using Article 5 as an excuse.

I guess that Ukraine has received no assistance from NATO based upon your comment.

5. But their governments won't send troops not because they are afraid of WWIII,

they are afraid of losing elections.

[Sherman A1]

7. Everyone should very much be afraid of a Sixth World War.

I have to wonder just why a global catastrophe and the vastly increased suffering that it would certainly involve is not an issue to those who advocate the insertion of NATO ground troops into Ukraine?

8. Because if Russia wins in Ukraine, it will then invade a Baltic country.

Since NATO is not helping a neighbor in which Russia is practicing genocide on that country, Putin believes that NATO won't help a Baltic country. Article 5 doesn't matter to him. He thinks that the NATO countries are afraid of nuclear war and will stand down.

9. I am so glad that you know exactly what Putin is thinking

seems that you got it down word for word or perhaps is it what you believe Putin might be thinking?

So here's a question. If he wasn't afraid of NATO and Article 5 then why would he have not started in the Baltic? Just how does that work?

How does it work when the war expands beyond the Ukraine with your apparent suggestion to insert NATO ground or air forces?

How much more suffering will be inflicted on militaries and civilians alike even if an expanded war does not go nuclear?

How many are you willing to sacrifice in Europe, Asia, North America and on the high seas?

10. He wants Ukraine first. He didn't expect the war to go for than a few days.

Next would come Moldova. Then with troops in Ukraine and Belarus, he would have troops on 2/3 at least on Poland's Border. That would hold up Polish troops. Next comes Estonia, then Latvia. Then Lithuania with Russian troops on almost its entire border.

12. And what he wants far exceeds his grasp

His land forces are being chewed up in Ukraine. He has no real ability to take on much more than what he has now. That does not mean that he is not able to create a great deal of suffering in other theaters should NATO become directly involved.

11. Wow...this is just absolute madness.

Some wild stuff gets posted here!

Thank goodness for the sane, sober, and level headed judgment of President Biden and his team!

[Sherman A1]

13. Agreed

I have full faith in the President to navigate this crisis unlike some here who seemingly prefer a global catastrophe to a very bad limited war.

4. Jake Sullivan should be fired.

6. NATO lacks regulatory authority to censor TV personalities.

If they had it, they would have bombed the shit out of Alex Jones.

14. What will Russia have left to make war with, when this is finally over?
