This thing may yet go nuclear.
They will go into extreme western Ukraine to free up Ukrainian troops there so they can be deployed to the front line
IMO (Been saying that since last summer as the “next step”)
“I will limit myself to say that these theses (in preparation for the Paris meeting) imply a number of NATO and EU member states are considering that they will send their troops to Ukraine on a bilateral basis,” Fico told a televised briefing following a meeting of Slovakia’s security council.
Troops that cannot make up for a lack of artillery shells.
Ukraine needs a supply of 8,000 155mm artillery shells per week.
The “typical” average weight of a 155mm artillery shell, is 100 lbs.
US troops by October.
These idiots really want wwiii.
The European nations can do whatever they want. Not one US soldier’s foot on the ground in Ukraine.
To little, too late. The definition of Stupidity: 1) NATO 2) Collective West.
It is obvious today that the Ukies should have began negotiations a long time ago, instead the brain dead Ukies put their trust in a brain dead, senile old man.
Fact is this war ends when Vlad says so, Unconditionally, to stop the western war cheerleaders from ever pulling a stupid stunt like this ever again.
End NATI before they drag us into this war.
I don’t see a problem here. The NATO folks will probably just be advising the Ukrainian military. But of course the NATO folks will need a secure base. So add force protection, including a combat air patrol.
Oh, wait. I do see a problem here, a big problem. From the movie “The Bedford Incident”:
(A US destroyer is tracking a Soviet sub. The destroyer has just armed an anti-submarine rocket.)
Commodore Schrepke: This is insane!
Captain Finlander: Now don’t worry, Commodore. The Bedford’ll never fire first. But if he fires one, I’ll fire one.
Ensign Ralston: [launching the rocket] Fire One!
Would the Russians find such a move to be provocative? And respond unpleasantly to it?
Just speculating - this could take the form of SAM systems, which most NATO members would like to hold on to on a permanent basis. The effect would be to backstop Ukrainian air defense of, say, Kiev and Odessa and the Danube corridor.
If they go in and make themselves legitimate troop representatives of a NATO nation, we are under no obligation to defend them.
The attitude is the same as 1941 Roosevelt declared a “Security Zone” into the Mid-Atlantic sent out the US Navy to escort British convoys.
The Marines landed in Iceland the Army deployed to Bermuda and Trinidad and Newfoundland.
It was FDR saying I dare you Hitler to hit back.
US merchant and naval ships a few got attacked in the fall of 1941 Americans died before December 7th triggered German entry into WW II against the USA.
But there is no honest way to compare Nazi Germany to Putin’s Russia whose WW II heritage is the fighting of Nazis including Ukrainian Nationalist Nazis.
these idiots want ww3.
russia woyld have every legal right to strike them
Zelensky and his handlers sure like sending white Christian men to their deaths.
These are countries that are already killing themselves without fighting the Russians.

French President Macron says sending Western troops to Ukraine should not be “ruled out” for the future, but no consensus today
And Now, you too can join the fight.
Paid for by the uniparty (Disclaimer: don't expect them to join you in the fight)
NATO should send troops to Lviv and Kyiv. That means the troops should be mostly from Poland, Germany and England. So that way the Russians can’t use the territory in Belarus to attack Ukraine from the north.
