A Ukrainian loss, which could happen very soon if U.S. weapons don’t arrive, would ramp up Russian efforts to destabilize the governments of NATO countries and increase defense spending across the alliance, among other disastrous effects, Hanno Pevkur, Estonia’s Defense Minister, told reporters Friday.
When U.S. officials like President Joe Biden talk about why Ukraine matters, they rely on broad notions of democracy and the continuation of the international order—without specifically explaining what a Ukraine loss would mean for ordinary Americans. Perhaps because of this, Americans are evenly split on the question of whether the United States is doing too much for Ukraine.
Pevkur said one of the deliverables from last year’s NATO Summit in Vilnius was new battle plans for Eastern European countries should Ukraine fall.
“These plans address these different scenarios,” he said. “Of course, for obvious reasons I cannot be very specific, but I can assure you that these plans are shaped by looking at the possible Russian posture in our neighborhood.”
One of the likely consequences of a loss, he said, is a much larger and more dangerous Russian military.

I note that Russia doesn’t seem able to defeat Ukraine and wonder why they should be expected to successfully take on all of NATO. I believe they’d lose, although it might be a Pyrrhic victory for NATO.

I’m busy cutting $1B deals right now as we speak growing the economy.
With Biden and this crowd in control we are going to lose. It is inevitable! God has turned his back on Biden and has accursed him!
If they actually have a plan in place, it will be the first time Europe has taken responsibility for their own defense. They usually pretend nothing is going on around them. They need to police their own backyard. They never did it after WWI, and we had to save their asses twice. NATO has been remiss, and has not required member States like Germany to budget the mandatory amount for their own defense. NATO has taken this country’s money for 75 years, and used it for what? To what end? We’ve been carrying the rest of the member nations for decades.
I believe NATO countries are being destabilized by immigration, not Russia. They are slitting their own throats.
Arms dealer shill says what?
Wrong
By that and incompetence in other aspects of governance.
Let’s see.

“increase defense spending across the alliance, among other disastrous effects”
It’s about time you deadbeats.
The real war pigs in this world speak Russian. Deal with it.
Neocons and Deep State are using Domino Theory Part 2. Fall of Ukraine means fall of Poland, Finland, and Sweden.
The CIA has admitted the engineered the 2014 Ukraine regime change and have had US troops on Russia's border for ten years.
Deal with it.
More money and weapons won’t save YouCrayne.
