      That is delusional.

      The correct take away from this war, is that as it stands right now, today, Ukraine and Russia are the most advanced militaries in the world.

      That’s not to say that NATO armies lack the potential, or capacity, to supersede either those of those states, but as of today, they do not have it.

      Pete Hegseth just disbanded the lone drone focused brigade that America had in Europe, and Trump has spent 75%+ of America’s long range PGM’s and interceptors to help Israel in their genocidal campaigns in the middle east.

      And let’s not get started on mainland Europes severe lack of preparedness for war, absent perhaps Poland and a few Balkan mini-states.

      Remind me again, when was the last time an invasion of Russia went well for the invading army?

    So the aim of Russia is to demonstrate a state of dysfunction in NATO right. I suppose the question then is, how does Germany respond to these little stabs without triggering article 5?
    I suppose providing more support to Ukraine is sensible. Maybe even troops?
    They could also try to blame it on other entities than Russia. But that won’t work long.
