Russia warns of 'enormous danger' if NATO sends troops to Ukraine
REUTERS ^ | May 8, 2024

Posted on 05/08/2024 6:22:06 AM PDT by McGruff

Russia said on Wednesday that sending NATO troops into Ukraine would potentially be extremely dangerous, and Moscow was closely watching a Ukrainian petition that called for such an intervention.

The petition, posted on the Ukrainian president's website, says Ukraine should ask the United States, Britain and other countries to send troops to help it repel Russia's invasion.

"We have repeatedly said that direct intervention on the ground in this conflict by the military of NATO countries potentially carries enormous danger, so we consider this an extremely challenging provocation, nothing less, and, of course, we are watching this very carefully."

If a NATO country decided to send troops into Ukraine, for whatever reason, they would be subject to the rules of modern warfare. However, if France, for example, were to send troops into Ukraine, they would not trigger an Article 5 response if they were attacked.

Getting missiles to France would require shooting over other NATO countries which would trigger a response.

That would put a damper on the Paris Olympics.

Sending troops is an act of war.

Germany sending troops to Ukraine reminds me of 1941 World War 2.

Should of… what used to be considered bad grammar is now accepted as having actual meaning. It’s hard to think that someone is smart enough that we should believe their opinions on international conflicts when they don’t have a grasp of the difference between have and of.

“Sending troops is an act of war.”

Something Russia should have thought about before they sent troops into Ukraine.

Unless they were launched from subs or warships. They could possibly be launched from long-range bombers.

But all of this is really unnecessary. The fact that this is getting ratcheted up just shows how much it is truly viewed a war of “The Western Order” vs. Russia.

France has added brand-new nuclear submarines to its fleet, and there are many more to come. The ones France has right now are already strategically dispatched, ready to vaporize every major Russian city. If Russia attacks, France’s response would be immediate. No need to wait for NATO’s decision. However, if that time comes it’s over for humanity. Putin’s wet fantasy would have become true.

“France’s navy is replacing its Rubis-class submarines with more modern and more heavily armed nuclear-powered submarines. The first of the new Suffren class of attack submarines has been in service since June 2022. The second, the Duguay Trouin, went into service this month. Another four Suffren-class submarines are to join the fleet by 2030.
They will replace the remaining three Rubis-class vessels, which were built in the 1980s.”

Unlike 1941-45, Russia does not have the excess millions of men to sacrifice in a victory against the NATO countries.

I may be pushing against the tide with this comment but
I believe it would behoove the Biden administration and its puppets like NATO etcetera to start listening to Russia’s warnings about our increasing military and militarization in and of Ukraine

OK now, here comes the pushback memos. Understood and expected.
