Here’s how I know NATO is no offensive threat to Russia.
NATO could totally kick Russia’s butt right now and doesn’t do it.
Russia can’t even beat Ukraine after 3 years and it’s bogged down there.
NATO could easily defeat Russia IF it wanted to and doesn’t need a battered Ukraine to do it.
Or NATO could just go into Ukraine and do it there.
Instead NATO is busy building defenses against a RUSSIAN attack on the Baltic states.
Of course this is a conventional war discussion. NATO also won’t attack Russia because of the nuclear deterrent.
The only one who got Russia invaded in this war is Russia - twice.
“NATO could totally kick Russia’s butt right now and doesn’t do it.”
With weapons? Zelensky is in a receptive mode.
With men? The Ukrainian armed forces are battle-hardened to a degree probably not seen since the Korean War.
What would British, French or American troops be able to do that they can’t?
American troops were driven out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. The United States has not won a war since 1945. The youngest American veteran that has won a US war is 98 years old.
