“The minute we gave Military aid to Ukraine we became a legitimat6e target in Obama’s war in Ukraine.”

Which is why the US should have nuked Russia when they gave arms to North Korea, China, and Vietnam, right?

Russia is first.

China is next if they want to be. That’s up to them.

Russia cannot defeat Ukraine; there is no way that they will attack NATO. This is just saber rattling for the domestic audience.

I won’t rule out Russia attacking the Baltics in particular. They seem to be talking themselves into it.

“It is a refined casus belli, and for Russia, it is an opportunity to act within the jus ad bellum framework against each and every NATO country.”

Setting aside the ludicrosity of Russia talking about just war, which means nothing to them, since they are pragmatic opportunists, really I’d just say to Medvedyev: “go ahead and try it.”

By that logic, Hitler was justified in declaring war on us as well.

Yeah: You talk bad about us and we invade. That really fits right in with the Just War Theory.

NATO and The USA Poke Russia because they believe Russia will not fight back. To many see Russia as a beefed up Iraq and an easy enemy to defeat. We are being led into a bloody caldron. Our enemies have many ways to hit us—ways we do not see. Like Pluck said in that great play: “What fools these mortals be.”

Megan, Russia wouldn’t have “invaded” had NATO not reneged on encroaching their border by signing up nations and Obama/Hillary orchestrating a couple in Ukraine in 2014.

Russia absolutely will attack Poland and Romania, if they win in Ukraine. Russia believes that given their demographic collapse, if they don’t secure their borders now, while they still have the manpower, Russia will cease to exist.

And they’re right.

Securing their borders requires troops in Poland and Romania. And that means an attack on NATO, and that means nukes.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan. What’s your point?

the Washington DeepState will eventually force a nuclear war with Russia, one I don’t see how they could “win” since WashingtonDC is obviously on the list of prime targets

(as with Iran’s repeately-announced plan to nuke WashingtonDC, NYC, Chicago, LA, SF, Vegas, and I forget the others...)

How about Russia quit invading its neighbors and threatening everyone, before we decide to pay some small percentage of our defense budget to see their military ground into dust, and their economy crashed.

Oh wait - nevermind.

NATO is self destructing NOW. thanks to Putin, BRIX and machinery. Oil self-production gold back and INCREASED trade to Europe, with LPG and suffering France and Germany receive by proxy.
