What are you talking about? Do you not think they should defend their country?

That would be a big test of Article 5. I don't think Putin has the stomach for it.

I think their best shot is to put up a fight. There's a small chance that it would rally the international community to their aid.

There is no doubt in my mind it will happen assuming the West's response to Ukraine remains so pacifist.

I predicted the Ukraine invasion years ago when Russia invaded Georgia. I was laughed at then on this board. GFY.

Dude, you need to chill out. I wasn't doubting your prediction, and I'm well aware of your Ukraine thoughts.

Lighten up Francis

God forbid we have some levity on this board
