I think people dismissing the idea that Russia would attack a NATO state are woefully clueless. If Russia wins in Ukraine, and gets in Trump a President willing to abandon NATO, Putin will strike NATO. This isn’t a low-probability event, it’s Russia’s explicit goal in Europe.
Every question about the future of European security and the prospect of a world war needs to be understood in this context. This is Russia’s plan, to destroy the West’s collective defence policy and then to conquer territory to rebuild the Russian empire.
The failure of those who do not recognise the threat posed by Russian fascism can not afford to lead to European complacency on this issue. Europe must prepare for war, the consequences of not doing so are too dire to contemplate.
We in the west do not see ourselves as being at war with Russia, but Russia absolutely sees itself as being at war with the west.
If you do not understand this you have no business discussing foreign policy whatsoever.

It doesn’t matter how many losses Russia sustains in Ukraine if they are still able to declare victory. In that scenario, Moscow will believe they have defeated the entire NATO alliance on the battlefield. From that point onwards, Russia will believe themselves to be unstoppable.
It’s 2024 and people are still listening to the same stooges for Russian fascism that predicted Putin would never strike Kyiv, now reassuring them that Russia has already suffered a strategic defeat and that it’s time to concede land for appeasement, ending the hostilities.
That’s a recipe for a third World War. It’s as simple as that. These people want to sleepwalk Europe into the abyss, and without doubt they will argue that we should abandon the Baltic States next.
The line must be drawn here. This far, no further. Ukraine is not just fighting for her own survival, she is fighting for the future freedom of all of our children.
We must stand with Ukraine till victory, no matter the cost. For without victory, there can be no survival.

The same people that told you Ukraine is not worth dying for will be the same people that tell you Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia aren’t worth dying for either.
If we do not stand with our allies now, there will be nobody left to stand with us tomorrow.
