I agree expecting NATO invasion on Russia (or even better Ukraine armed with western weapons invasion on Russia) is insane and dumb idea (too much video games or Hollywood movies) but if Russia can collapse because of war with Ukraine is another problem. Soviet Union collapsed partially becauseof their failed invasion on Afghanistan.

That’s what Hitler thought too when Russia was humiliated by Finland in the Winter War. Look how that ended for him.

Maybe the Russian military would be easily destroyed while they’re in Ukraine but that’s MOSTLY due to the non existent Russian morale. Attacking their military within mainland Russia would be a completely different story though.

Calm down, let’s not forget about the nukes and the idiots who will do everything to protect themselves and if everything is lost would not think twice about bringing down the rest of the world with them.

There is no such thing as an immediate act of war with NATO.

  1. something happens
  2. nato convenes and determines if it rises to standard of article 5 and recommends action
  3. volunteer members of nato follow action

No member is forced to act

No it wasn't. Maybe stop reading Russian state propaganda.

I challenge you to post some sources that support your claims, and then look for sources that dispute your claims, and then compare which sources are more reputable. This is basic education stuff, we learn this in school

And then what? U overthrow a wolf that keeps other wolf's in check. It will exactly be same as iraq 2.0. On many fold worse scenario. NATO Coalition control all cities but cant control country side. Russia is too vast for an occupation like iraq. And if you leave some radicals will take over a country that has a lot of nukes or has resources to make nukes.

When dealing with sociopaths, "yes if (condition)" means no. It is a test of your naivete. This is basically a fundamental part of criminal mind and traces all the way to game theory.

Would one be stupid enough to actually agree and recognize Taliban? If one is indeed naive, then they'll make sure to apologize profusely once Mr. bin Laden escapes right after you recognized Taliban.

In fact, they'll be so sorry that they will promise they'll spare no effort in finding him IF (another condition)

The length of this sequence is limited only by the stupidity of the mark.

> Time for European countries to deploy their navies to patrol the waters around these facilities and pipelines.

They already do, I have a family member working on an off shore rig in Norway. Russian drones fly almost so close they can touch them.

Norwegian navy is already patrolling the water around these rigs.

How's is the far-right in Spain affecting spanish politics in the question of global migration?

And what does the spanish far-right do that majority in r/worldnews would condemn?
