Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

Again, what I never read in these analyses is that an attack on an EU country would not only trigger a NATO defense clause but also an EU one.

Are there EU armed forces?

If Putin attacks Latvia or Estonia and doesn't even hide it, he attacks the EU and then we either do something or risk the EU completely falling apart.

The answer is:

I don't think Putin is quite so stupid as to blatantly attack the Baltic States

As he showed in Crimea and later in Donbas, he will pretend any insignialess military men in Estonia (or anywhere else) are local militias who protect the oppressed Russian-speakers.

What ukraine has done is an act of war

Do you believe anything Putin says? There are a lot of inconsistencies in Russia's side of the story which make it a fake.
