Condemnation from Kyiv to Bucharest is swift, as leaders stress the importance of a unified response and warn that Russia’s ‘reckless behavior’ threatens regional stability.
That also capitulates to Russias acts of war like sabotaging critical infrastructure (undersea cables), being organized crimes “cyber warfare as a service”, waging global psychological warfare, financing fascism, murdering people with chemical and biological weapons.
I am not convinced NATO would ever actually do anything, because they’ve let every act of war slide. Probably just launch nukes if Russia does…
Russia’s infrastructure is coming down around their ears, they’ve been humiliated, their global influence (non-propaganda) has been reduced to nearly nothing and they’re making desperate deals with north korea to maintain the semblance of their army, and europe is rearming.
And that’s without NATO getting brought in directly. I know it’s not glamorous, but there is huge investment of resources and material in the Ukraine conflict, so much so that the conceit you’ve presented is bordering on being dishonest. Boots on ground no, but Ukraine sure as hell isn’t fighting this alone.
This is true, but still: Ukraine is losing ground and we, the NATO member states and Europe, don’t do enough to help them defend themselves and us by extension.
