  1. Yeah Russia can barely keep up with the dwindling forces of Ukraine. They don’t want any part of nato

  2. Didn’t they have shovels like two years ago and washing machine chips? They can’t even finish Ukraine. Fear propaganda is ridiculous.

  3. While I don’t doubt Ukraine is working hard to gather useable intel on Russia at some point we have to wonder how much is true and how much is propagandized salesmanship. 

  4. No, russia will never be ready. NATO would crush them easily if it came to it. All of Russia’s fighter planes in Europe would be destroyed leaving Russia with no airforce before they even leave the ground.

  5. I’m not sure why this “news” source isn’t banned. Just propaganda meant to inspire fear.

  6. Well, we shouldn’t think that the Russians would start an all-out attack against NATO to conquer Europe all the way to Lisbon. The most likely scenario would be that Russia would launch a limited surprise attack against something like the Baltic states, occupy them and then roll in a couple of nukes and threaten escalation.
    The Russians are smart enough that they wouldn’t force NATO’s hand by presenting a scenario which would force them to retaliate with all-out hostility. It would be a calculated aggression designed to test NATO resolve. Would the US risk an escalation over Estonia? Would the Europeans?
    Russia might reach the conclusion that they won’t, even if Russia wouldn’t be able to win a war against NATO with conventional forces.
    So the question is more like if Russia could build up a strategic situation where they could quickly overwhelm local opposition and still control the diplomatic fallout.

  8. News # one: Russia on brink of collapse! Any day now!

    News # two: Russia will conquer Europe in 4 years!!!

  9. I don’t think so. Russians are tired of war too. They want to travel, they want to have nice things. And the combat meta will change drastically in the next few years. Russia does not have a strong AI game. Ukraine’s brave fighting is closing the window on attacking Europe.

  10. Who says anything about lifting sanctions? Not until Russia turns into an abandoned gas station which is all it deserves to be.

  12. What do you mean? Russia already attacked Europe. Ukraine is part of Europe.

    I think the title means UE or NATO.

  14. Well if Russia insist on hastening their collapse, then go ahead

  15. Why would they want to?
    If they’ve had THIS much trouble with Ukraine, how smoothly do they think Europe will go??

  16. And we are not even remotely prepared for that.

    Our politicians here, with a small number of exceptions, close their eyes and hope all will be fine.

  19. With what army? Around 1000 tanks left, 10-20 choppers, 10-30 fighter jets. Their infantry in shambles.

    And they still have Ukraine left.

  20. No, not really. I mean, it would be the same result if it did it right now. There’s no chance that Russia could stand against NATO, even without the US.

  21. Attack with what? what a stupid website, russia have problem to win with small country like ukraine and lost half army there, russia is joke

  22. If he means Moldova or Georgia or Belorussia, yes. Members of the EU or NATO, nope.

  23. But why? Please, explain to me like I’m 5. Russia attacking Ukraine, sure I understand. But why attack nato? Who has more populace, bigger economy, more resources and better geography than Ukraine?

  24. Yet, atm they’re advancing approximately 2km a month.

    Hmm, something is off here

  26. Ukraine can strike deep now, let’s see how things escalate this summer

  27. Russia can barely handle the Ukraine imagine they opened the front up to include Poland?

    What sort of McBeth tragedy is Putin playing at?

  28. Finland and Poland with arms help from the rest of NATO could crush Russia.

    Russia is only scary because of their nukes. Their fighting force is poop.
