   It feels like it’s very, very risky territory for these activities to be “occurring” in a NATO country. I’m sure everyone else is thinking the same thing, but at what point does Article 5 get invoked?

      what exactly do you think is going to happen if article 5 gets invoked? did America's current Special Military Operation not make it clear that missiles alone don't win wars, and that there's fuck all you can do when the other side yeets their missiles at you in return?

      also, a friendly reminder that all willing parties are free to go fight Russia right now. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ildu.mil.gov.ua&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ildu.mil.gov.ua&#x2F;

         It will lead to a gradual escalation, probably air spaces closed over Kaliningrad, Belarus and Ukraine for Russian planes and army mobilization towards the eastern flank of NATO in the first steps.

         Sufficient assistance can be given to the Ukrainians without deploying troops to the battlefield so that the Russians are pushed out completely. Losing Crimea would be Putin&#x27;s death knell.
