The US Must Prepare for War Against Russia Over Their Interests
Unfortunately, this article is right. Putin is doing the same things Hitler did in the 30s, and, so far, he’s getting the same results. Appeasement did not work with Hitler, and it most assuredly will not work with Putin. If we don’t force Russia to back off and honor its treaties now, then we will be forced to fight them later when they attack us. I’m not a fan of war and consider it an evil waste. However, some wars are necessary evils, and keeping Russia in check is very necessary, unless you want to be ruled by Moscow. Putin will not stop until he is forced to do so.
Canada, UK and USA all have troops in Ukraine on a training mission to train the Ukraine Military.
Harjit Sajjan, Llyod Austin and Ben Wallace all must coordinate a plan to extend and enhance the mission to a possible combat role.
All 3 of them are one of the few defence ministers in NATO who actually have military experience, they must understand the importance of this
The US, NATO and EU must be ready for the worst possible scenario to come;
Putin has gone mad, he wants power no matter the cost, he has been threatening the West in every way possible, the guy wants an open conflict to spark after the invasion of Ukraine which will happen unless the current talks in Geneva can somehow prevent it.
Now more than ever people and governments must be wary of Russia, things are heating up.
I hope the US loses.. I really do.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want Americans, Ukrainians, or Russians to die.. and I don’t want Ukraine to be under the boot of Russia, but this new woke world has to die.
America being unable to control the world, being beaten back in a short war, goes a very long way in breaking the back of the woke order.
It needs to happen.
If America survives, extinction of the native peoples of the West is guaranteed.
Can’t we humans just stop? Nobody except some rich people in power positions want war. Regular people just want to get along with their lives.
Why should we go to war when one central european oligarch run state attacks another?
Solution is easy, make Ukraine indigestible. A Chechnya 10x worse. It be a pity if some of that plutonium from soviet era power plants were to go missing and appear in a dirty bomb in Moscow if Ukraine was completely annexed
k, but nuclear equipped countries don’t engage each other in open ground conflict, sorry, it’s not hearts of iron 4 😀
I don’t get how, me, a frenchman, should feel concerned by this
Yes let’s let the Yankees and russkies wage another war on our soil as they destroy entire nations once more. Let Europe be ripped apart again. Smart author.
Yes please, kill some ruskis and ukranians because i just bought some Raytheon stock, thanks
A US vs. Russia war with direct combat exchange (not proxy) would quickly escalate to nuclear. This is especially true due to Russia’s reliance on tactical (non-strategic) nuclear weapons to offset it’s conventional weapon inferiority to US/NATO forces. No thank you. If Russia starts a war, the US and NATO should provide advice, training, supplies, weapons, but should not engage in direct conflict as much as possible.
another Afghanistan? Good luck then…
Sorry no war this winter. Plenty of mind games, political pressure, diplomacy, but no war….illogical, pointless, costly and unnecessary and repeatedly reiterated by Russia that no invasion is planned.
I mean… I think they’re probably right. But I’d rather not get drumbeats from a magazine dedicated to the US Military Industrial Complex.
Who is DefenseOne and why should I care what their opinion is? This isn’t news.

Ugh cmon fucking why
Hum, maybe ask the Ukrainians first what they think about this? I mean, maybe they don’t want to become a war theater even more than they already are…
The Russians demand strategic depth. That and Russian winters is what saved them in WWII. The USSR lost about 30 million people in WWI and WWII. To put that in perspective, it’s about the same as the entire current population of Texas. We lost about half a million in both wars.
Russia is not going to take all of Ukraine. Putin is not stupid. He doesn’t want or need to be bogged down in a guerrilla war with a very hostile population. Donbass is not hostile to them though.
We are the instigators in this mess through NATO expansion onto their borders. We can hem and haw and lie to ourselves all we want, but nothing well ever change reality. We are just as responsible for the mess we’re in as we were for the Cuban Missile Crisis, we started by placing Jupiter missiles in Turkey. How was the Cuban Missiles Crisis resolved? We ended up returning back to the status quo.
Washington thinks it’s playing a game of poker and chess. Poker in the sense that we do a lot of bluffing, and chess in the sense that we believe we can win in the long run since the young Donbass generation are less likely to support Moscow. But, it’s really a game of Tic Tac Toe, in which no one can win since historically, no regional power reacts well to what they consider a hostile military presence on their doorstep. The proof of that is the Korean War. We drove the North Koreans up to the Chinese border. How did the Chinese respond? They responded by pouring numbers into Korea, killing Americans along the way, driving us back to the 38th parallel at a time when they had numbers but we had nukes and they didn’t. It worked, we left Korea. The Chinese justification for the risk of killing Americans and driving us back to the 38th parallel? One of them was they just didn’t want us on their border for fear of eventual attack.
Comparisons to Hitler are stupid. He doesn’t want to reconstitute the USSR nor can he. He just wants a buffer and there’s nothing we can do about it. To destroy them economically, assuming we could and Europe would allow it, would be to destroy Europe too. If people only learned from history and understood human nature and could place themselves in someone Else’s shoes, we wouldn’t be in this insane mess. The guerillas can pump their chests all they want, they can’t win.
Russia’s economy is about the same size as Texas, never mind the entire United States… to say nothing of NATO.
Nuclear war is impossible as Putin isnt suicidal, conventional war would doom russia due to the economic disparity between the sides.
Why are people treating Russia like the Soviet Union and Putin like the leader of a great power?
