Condemnation from Kyiv to Bucharest is swift, as leaders stress the importance of a unified response and warn that Russia’s ‘reckless behavior’ threatens regional stability.
People tend to forget that NATO is a defensive pact and even though it’s extremely strong, it doesn’t want a war because in a war there’s losses for everybody.
NATO is like the adult in the room that doesn’t want to escalate further.
That also capitulates to Russias acts of war like sabotaging critical infrastructure (undersea cables), being organized crimes “cyber warfare as a service”, waging global psychological warfare, financing fascism, murdering people with chemical and biological weapons.
I am not convinced NATO would ever actually do anything, because they’ve let every act of war slide. Probably just launch nukes if Russia does…
Russia’s infrastructure is coming down around their ears, they’ve been humiliated, their global influence (non-propaganda) has been reduced to nearly nothing and they’re making desperate deals with north korea to maintain the semblance of their army, and europe is rearming.
And that’s without NATO getting brought in directly. I know it’s not glamorous, but there is huge investment of resources and material in the Ukraine conflict, so much so that the conceit you’ve presented is bordering on being dishonest. Boots on ground no, but Ukraine sure as hell isn’t fighting this alone.
This is true, but still: Ukraine is losing ground and we, the NATO member states and Europe, don’t do enough to help them defend themselves and us by extension.

So useless then just like the league of nations. And look where their inactivity ended up.
That’s bullshit, they’re a toddler hiding behind closed eyes going “la la la” and hoping “the bad man” goes away.
The EU is already at war with Russia.
The US has been in that same war since WW2, but it never came to direct blows, and likely won’t come to any time soon.
NATO is a defense pact to deter war, not to go looking for one, so have a sit and eat something.
greetings from Serbia and Libya!
I’d love to hear the problem with stopping Melosivec.
the part where you shit on the global rules based order and set an example for the coming decades.
