Russia: exists
NATO: OMG BURN EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR WE HAVE
The main tangible outcome here is going to be austerity for Europe. Collapse of NATO in Ukraine will be used to justify increased military spending. Trump likely getting into power will likely also play into the narrative that Europe needs to ramp up its military industry to be able to stand up to Russia on its own. This is all happening on top of the economic crisis that’s already unfolding across Europe.
Having a larger portion of active soldiers is also good at crushing dissent at home. Austerity isn’t going to be popular.
Indeed, getting their armies ready to keep the plebs in line is absolutely the plan here.
Well get ready for a cheap false flag to drain the entire Baltic region into the meat grinder, then?
Gotta love the US framing on this war. Russia was called in on the defensive side, so I’m still scratching my head over how there can be a “Russian invasion” or “Russian aggression”.
Putler waited like ten years while donbas and kprf mfs screamed at him. He’s still selling titanium that can be used in artillery shells (if we hypothetically had artillery)
Ya it sucks ass that he waited, I’m not claiming that Putin is good, or that he isn’t an opportunistic mofo. But it’s good that Russia did eventually go in. Critical support and all that.
My point is that by the entire history of warfare (minus any time America starts writing the history books) Russia is by definition, not the aggressor here.
I agree actually I’m just channeling someone I know for some reason
Ah see, you’re problem is the evil Putler mind control rays that tricked you into understanding that this war didn’t begin out of nowhere in February 2022. You should fix this problem by consuming nothing but western media until you forget where these countries are on a map and can no longer understand the linear of passage of time.
Deter Russia from what, invading Poland, which no NATO state takes seriously? Good thing exercises don’t consume ammunition because they’re already underprovisioned.
Guess we get to find out of NATO can maneuver without tripping over its own dick and shooting itself in the foot.
This was my first thought. A NATO exercise that sparks internal NATO conflict. It only takes a few motivated idiots of one of the countries’ military to light that fuse.
Russia: Great! Free targets for practice
