      The Baltics can send troops to Ukraine if they’re actually afraid that they’re next.

          And? NATO is a defensive alliance. There’s nothing stopping them from going in.

          The Baltics are just perfectly content to let Ukrainians die if it kills some Russians as well. Not sure why Ukrainians have to die if there is an actual fear of Russia advancing further than Ukraine. They’re not a meat shield for Europe. The Baltics should actually nut up if they believe even half the shit they’re saying about Russian expansionism.

            @SolanumChillEse Honestly, I find it very difficult to find your point.

            These days it’s difficult to tell if someone is affected by Russian ”special combat propaganda” or not.

            Conflicting opinions and internal hate mongering, i’d rather not engage in.

            So i’ll leave it at that, I can’t make sense of what you are saying.

        Can you just google before giving this kind of opinion, NATO members cant go to war if other members do not agree. Sending people to fight would be the same as going to war.

          That’s not how NATO works. So maybe you should try googling a little harder. Otherwise Germany and France would have been in Iraq. NATO is a defensive alliance. You can send troops to Ukraine. Literally nothing is stopping you if you believe it’s a matter of national security in the future.

              I at least know how NATO fundamentally functions before popping off about it online.

                So if you are so well educated, why do you think we are not sending troops? Please enlighten me with your knowledge.

                  because russia has nukes, and sending troops usually requires a declaration of war.

                  Because no one actually believes Russia has ambitions outside of Ukraine. And if they actually do believe that and don’t want to send their own troops in, it’s absolutely shameful and cynical to be using Ukrainians as their human shields.

                    So when putin said in his speech that he wants to take back ex-soviet states, he wasnt talking seriously? And when he sayed he will drop nukes if nato troops enter Ukraine, he was joking? And why use Ukraine as human shields if we could give them more weapons so they wouldnt die?
