Putin will NEVER attack NATO. With the quagmire he’s in now with Ukraine, are you fricking kidding me? Is this on Kalshi? I’ll bet every dollar I have on it.

Why not, they are attacking him. Their weapons factories are fair game. So are assassinations since Nato has been doing them.

Well I can tell you this much. Several Russian drones has entered NATO territory on more than one occasion since the Ukraine war has been going on. I think it just happened in Romania over the weekend or end of last week.

I highly highly doubt Putin is dumb enough to attack NATO. However, his domestic situation is getting worse and it doesn’t appear like he’s going to have any major success in Ukraine in the foreseeable future. So I would not write off Putin doing something stupid.

Well nobody believed the Russians would actually invade Ukraine until they did.

If they do, however, all of those ships will be sunk on day 1. Suicide mission for them.

Why wouldn’t they? Let’s not act like Russia makes rational decisions.

Let’s be real honest about NATO. The United States is NATO. Any deterrence factor that comes from NATO. Is provided by the United States. Unfortunately we are a little busy right now. Western Europe is weak and is so incompetent they just invite an attack. So we can’t totally dismiss claims like this although just based on those reasons. Europe isn’t scaring or preventing any attack.

He might fire off some missiles, but he doesn't have the manpower for a ground invasion. He is already having to draft middle-aged dudes like me with dad bods just for Ukraine. He is losing 30,000 men a MONTH (dead and wounded combined).

Sure, he has the raw population to recruit a bunch of prisoners, students, and middle-aged dudes. But they will be a disaster, poorly trained, with poor leadership.

Posturing.

Russia could at least get original with its chest thumping. This is so old hat from them it's almost comical.

This makes more sense when you recognize the reports about US munitions issues are valid.

Russia may not do anything, but positioning like this puts pressure on the US.

This is no different then Russia and China helping Iran target us positions in the ME


This is no different than what Russia did in Korea and Vietnam. And no different then what we did to them in Afghanistan


And Russia will not attack NATO. This is just saber rattling on Russias side. And fear lingering on the NATO side.

Oh its very different. For one the middle east is not the United States. That right there is a massive massive difference. And then theres the fact that Ukraine isnt a functioning country any longer that the US is financing not only the war but the entire government so that it can forced conscription to fight Natos war. Nato supplies all the weapons, Intelligence, logistics and shipments, surveillance and targeting. They are not just doing this in new Russian land in what use to be Ukraine, but also doing this in Russia. They are attacking refineries and the equivalent of Amazon. The people of Russia want to see Russia attack back eye for an eye against the same factories in Nato, that Nato is attacking in Russia.
