NATO and other free nations have been tightening up their ability to defend themselves again since you guys started reassembling the evil empire.
As far as being so afraid of Russia that we are helpless today, no thanks, Putin is a paper tiger.
Please show me where NATO has troops assembled, or even in garrison. Hint: they don;t.
Also many here think Ukraine is part of NATO, they aren’t.
Look to the UN to carry your water if you want to start a fight, that will get you real far also.
