The easy answer is ‘a NATO member’, but do people really give anymore of a f**k about Estonia than they do Ukraine? Even though they’re a NATO member, in that event, are people really willing to stand up? Kaliningrad is the "fly in the ointment" . If Russia invaded Lithuania on the pretext of protecting Kaliningrad from Lithuanian aggression would NATO risk nuclear war ? Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I feel we just fundamentally disagree so no point in thrashing it out. What I would say then, is at what point for you all is the line drawn? There's an assumption that it ends with Ukraine, and hopefully it does. But having taken the Crimean peninsula and now in the process of the rest of Ukraine, if he continues then where do those of you with him stand on action? Hypothetically if he invades the baltics (NATO members)? Or the non-NATO Nordics? What about placing offensive strike weapons in occupied Ukraine? The examples are infinite of course, but where is the line drawn? At the channel? He hasn’t got the capability to do any of that has he mate, other than place stuff in Ukraine when he wins and occupies the gaff. Its not even a question. I don’t want Ebola but I’m not particularly worried if it’s ravaging the Congo As I know I absolutely don’t need to tell you, the USA has 9 carrier strikes groups, each of which is capable of wiping out a small country !…….Russia don’t even have 1 ! Peer on Peer it’s not even a contest is it?……in the event of nuclear it matters little to any of us, there will be f**k all to fight over and we will all be dead !

hambone 948 Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 So if Russia takes and keeps Ukraine should NATO then invade and "liberate" to prevent Russia placing nukes in that country??? That seems to be Russia's stated reason for the invasion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I think you’re miles off mate tbh. I think he could very well attack and annex Baltic territory. He doesn’t need carrier strike groups (he does have one shit one), it’s on his doorstep and a huge amount of armour is what he would need and has. The Russian military has been underwhelming but it isn’t incapable of further conquest. It was a simple enough question I thought. If he does do any more would you back leathering him or not? No is an acceptable answer, lol. So is, not sure tbh. Edited March 2, 2022 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have seen what’s happened to this country by not stopping the creeping migration from third world countries and allowing the liberals to infiltrate our education system. We can’t do the same with putin. Well said To many wanna be oligarchs on here Edited March 2, 2022 by waltjnr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I wouldn't want us to sit by and see Finland or Sweden invaded or attacked. But I think in the event of that, shit would be well and truly sideways and there really wouldn't be much in it. Tbh the new buzz phrase is 'grey zone war' aka 'below the threshold attack', and I think we're going to see a lot of this over the coming years. There are clear red lines that we need to be sure of and enforce, but there is a lot of scope for competition and attack below those. It's in this grey zone that the rules get murky. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
