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.

Proof please.
I’d suggest the euroweenies ramp up their own defense spending because we are broke as f.
“although unfortunate, it’s a good thing that you don’t know shiite”
Why is that a “good thing”? (I didn’t find where you posted in this thread.)
The Euros are horrified that they might have to proportionally spend as much on defense as the United States.
you are such a frkn’ moron you can’t even get an address right
Bunch of idiot Estonians. They want revenge for the Soviet era, which happened because of the nazi era. Their old world bullcrap never ends.
The same old fable that Russia is restoring the empire and might invade Poland and the Baltics again.
Lunacy
“A Ukrainian loss, which could happen very soon if U.S. weapons don’t arrive...”

Yes, it’s all the US’s fault. /s
Will they lose if European weapon’s don’t arrive? Well, will they?
“Proof please”
Don be such a super dum@$$ as you are
Like Latvia, Estonia has a solid nazi past and to this day sets up memorials to their own SS division, has “veterans” parades, uses nazi anthems in official events.
What has Europe done to prepare? The invasion started over 25 months ago. Why were they putting so much trust in a regime that is over 30 trillion in the hole? People who think the USA should police the world should have thought of planning better over 30 trillion dollars ago.
OH MY GOD!!!! You mean the Yurps might have to start actually paying for their own defense???? What a disaster!
Hanno Pevkur...lifelong lawyer. 13 when the wall fell. Really excited about war, will never be in one.
Sorry, EUnuchs. The U.S.-driven gravy train is sputtering, so how about finally trimming your welfare states and paying for your own defense?
If the Europeans are determined to go to war with Russia, let them. We need to stay out of it.
Does it look like we've solved our own problems?
Our problems are the priority, not fighting the globalist elite's proxy war with Russia.
Both McCain and Lindsey Graham were in Ukraine giving speeches encouraging the Maiden revolution.
There is NO chance you're naïve not to realize the CIA is notorious for fomenting color revolutions.
No country can defend Ukraine without spending ridiculous amounts of money and opening themselves up to the slaughter of thousands of troops.
Regardless of the implications for defense spending increases, international respect, etc. defending Ukraine is a losing cause. If we really want to strain Russian military resources we should give them the keys to Ukraine and have them worry about defending it.
“...you can’t even get an address right...”
I suckered you into coming out into the open when you came at me through mail and hadn’t posted on the thread before that.
I’ve got to get back to my game of solitaire now, it’s more intellectually stimulating than you. You can’t even come up with insults that are halfway decent.
