"This is particularly true if Russia assesses that the U.S. cannot or will not support the European NATO countries in a war with Russia," it continues, emphasizing that Russia is ramping up its military capabilities to prepare for a possible war against NATO.

and where did Danish intelligence come by this info? by simply paying attention?

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Paying attention would be the first step in assessing the possibility of aggression, yes.

Ukraine: "Am I a joke to you?"

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago

most of europe, when they say europe, they mean "the italic and the germanic parts." ukraine, the balkans, estonia, poland, and finland get left out to dry when the chips are down because their cultural traditions are different. it's some shit, to be frank. it's like if the united states invaded mexico and canada started warning about the potential for war in north america

Yeah, they might have been 3 years too late with the warning

Likely sooner now that Trump is sucking Putin's cock.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Most likely this year. Every year they wait will be harder on them because of demographics. Having Trump in the WH basically guarantees that article 5 is DOA.

And when they do, China will most likely attempt to take Taiwan for the same reasons.

If it's something they're planning to do then now is about the time as in few decades there wont be enough fighting age men left there.

Look, Russia is barely able to do anything against Ukraine, assuming we give them weapons.

Someone like Poland would curbstomp the Russians.
