I really don’t care if this is harsh, but i hope to G O D that ukraine will be able to strike hard, fast, and widely enough to completely cow russia back into its weakness in the 90s. Barring that, since russia openly flaunts a military alliance with three countries, i hope ukraine can also gather allies on its side (the baltics seem the most reliable but i hope sweden and finland can join) to put more boots on the ground.
The Baltics are too small to do enough on their own, but if 🇸🇪 & 🇫🇮 join, than I expect 🇳🇴 to follow. As Poland’s on the list of Putin’s fantasy conquests after 🇺🇦 (he will go for Moldova first as the last non-NATO country in his path, than the Baltics, than Poland), I expect that if 🇸🇪 & 🇫🇮 join in with 🇺🇦, they will follow suit. Honestly, Polish boots on the ground alone would be enough to end the war with an Ukrainian victory & that’s before adding in 🇸🇪, 🇫🇮 & 🇳🇴 militaries. Ironically for all the effort Putin has done in dismantling the broader NATO alliance, an alliance of these peripheral nations on their own would be enough to destroy his conventional forces if more distant parts of the alliance like the USA & Germany weren’t acting as restraining bolts. I don’t think he will use the nukes the way he threatens too, so I think we should just call the bluff already.
