The Ukraine isn’t a part of NATO and it’s not a NATO fight. If NATO involves themselves, I oppose it and I’ll speak out against it, like a good American.
But I’m not talking about Ukraine. NATO isn’t fighting in Ukraine. Certain member countries are giving them arms, ammunition and troop training, but NATO isn’t fighting anyone. No more than what the Warsaw Pact did for North Vietnam.
But you said:
“NATO better have it’s troops wash off their makeup and file their nails. Things are getting real”
You didn’t say “Ukraine.” Neither did I, but there it is, your quote, “NATO”.
How is Russia growing their manpower numbers a threat to NATO?
It is clear Vlad has been planning since the beginning for NATO intervention or escalation. He would be a fool to trust the collective West. Deploying only 15 percent of his military for the SMO was prudent, increasing his military to counter the possibility of Nato escalation is wise.
