seems you missed the point .......Ukraine fighting russia have held russia for 2 years ......throw in 100k NATO soldiers on top of that + the quality NATO weapons to support them .......ALL OVER RED ROVER !
NOT that I think it will happen ......however , do you understand the concept of a "tripwire force " ?? I think that is fairly likely ...if needed .
Bottom line for me ......I believe NATO will not attempt to win this war for Ukraine ......but I believe they ARE prepared to stop Ukraine losing it . Nor will Ukraine or the west ever recognise the supposed anneation . A ceasefire is the liely outcome I believe at some point .....not an agreement though !
