Putin doesn't really want a war with NATO because 'Russia will lose and lose quickly,' UK military chief says
Russia would be seriously outclassed by NATO's land, sea, and air forces in a conflict and would lose fast, the UK's Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said.
The Lithuanian foreign minister sums up the response thus far very well here.
"We declare red lines for ourselves, but not for Russia. We publicly tie our own hands while leaving Putin free to pillage, rape and destroy. We create strategic transparency, not strategic ambiguity. It's time to change course."
which is why he's actively pushing for trump to win so there is no more nato
Not only is this someone talking but it's talking about postulating about someone else's inner thoughts. Not an event, not a change. Not fucking news.
like I said Russia can barely handle shitting their own pants. they can't handle someone else shitting their pants too
Russia vs NATO might actually be a three day operation, at least in terms of the clash of armies.
Of course Russia's nuclear arsenal is quite an effective deterrent.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't really want a conflict with NATO because in that scenario Russia would quickly lose, the head of the UK's armed forces said on Tuesday.
Speaking at an event in London, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said that "the inescapable fact is that any Russian assault or incursion against NATO would prompt an overwhelming response."
Radakin, speaking at a defense conference in London's Chatham House, said the UK is "not on the cusp of war with Russia.
He said that the thousands of allied troops stationed in Poland and the Baltic states could draw on the "three-and-a-half million uniformed personnel across the alliance for reinforcement."
Referring to Sweden and Finland joining, he said NATO is growing from 30 to 32 nations, "with a collective GDP twenty times greater than Russia.
He added: "Russia's Army has lost nearly 3,000 tanks, nearly 1500 artillery pieces, and over 5,000 armored fighting vehicles."
The original article contains 555 words, the summary contains 152 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
News flash! One nation can't win vs the strongest military country of the world + an entire continent of it's allies!
I'm not entirely sure on that, because whatever intel he's getting fed on there war, has to be the best horseshit ever. I don't think that even Putin can ignore ~15.000 lost vehicles.
Meaning, he could very well believe he'd win.
Vova will start chucking nukes around and blame the west if he gets in a losing position.
Whomever wipes Putin off the planet gets a blowjob.
When you have a madman threatening nuclear confrontation, when does the probability of a first strike that might prevent significant retaliation have fewer megadeaths than being the victim of a first strike? This is the problem with sustained nuclear sabre rattling. What if its taken seriously?
Rhetoric is spinning up, and there's apparently more people on here that like the idea of a literal third world war than are against it. Manufacturing consent really is the name of the game.
Pretty sure NATO is going to be tested. After Ukraine. He'll build up his forces on a board and see what happens. If there isn't a NATO build up response, I worry he'll push over that boarder. Then what? We going to nuke him? No, we won't. Partly because Putin has got friends in high places in the West. If we didn't ready a traditional response, we could be salami sliced while we debate when to nuclearly respond.
Nowdays being a clown is really well paid
From the same people that claimed the Ukraine issue would be resolved in a few weeks, and Russia days from defeat dozens of times since it started. Putin has cancer and wont survive much longer, Russia was using WWII shovels to fight. NATO and the US doesnt want to win war, they want to prolong it. The MIC doesnt want to win war, they want to prolong it.
