Evidently NATO does, we just conducted military exercises in Ukraine, and Poland, and created a new reaction force to station forward, and now this article.
Putin does not have any military muscle to waste, if he ever engaged us then his military would be gutted, humiliated, and Russia would be left in dire straights trying to defend itself from it’s internal and Eastern threats.
I wholly agree with you on Putin’s military so why the scaremongering? NATO is posturing and will continue to allow Putin to nibble his way through the smaller and weaker European countries. He can easily scare the west into submission with nuclear saber rattling or maybe just threaten to start burning coal.
