Like and respect you Wyvern, just don’t agree w/your take NATO should withdraw from bordering NATO countries. Why? Aren’t you emboldening aggressive bullies that started the fight? Isn’t that sending a message of weakness and division?
How is Russia sending a message of strength when they have to recruit Chechens and Norks for meat wave assaults and weapons?
PS - the NK deployment was the one that shocked me
I STILL have a hard time believing that's 100% real, man
The entire conflict is bizarre & seems to feature some PSYOP type fake events -
And zero strategy or victory conditions for the west
I don't think RUS wanted to project power widely as we have done
And they haven't mobilized or leveraged military assets this widely since their Afghanistan war - think that ended around 1987-1989
I hope the Trump admin defers to the Minsk Agreement as the preferred vehicle for ceasefire and a treaty going forward -
