From ammunition shortages to underinvestment in navies, the alliance is far from battle ready.

    A war between NATO and Russia would kill millions of people in minutes. I don’t think it would be a smart move.

      Unfortunately, our glorious leaders seem to think otherwise.

        It’s like 4 years into a 3 day “special operation.” What makes you think Russia could do well against better armed nations, let alone NATO.

          Except Russia never said anything about about a 3 day operation. It came from General Milley during an interview with Fox News, where it was presented as a rough estimate of what American forces might do. You will not find a single statement from Russia to that effect.

            Well, that was only being used to reinforce my point. Even if it’s not true, it’s still 4 years into a war with a much smaller country. The rest of comment still stands. Russia would certainly do worse against better armed nations or NATO.

              It’s 4 years into a war with the entire industrial and financial power of NATO using a the people of Ukraine to fight Russia. All the weapons in Ukraine are NATO weapons and they’re being defeated in Ukraine. Don’t take my word for it though, here’s what NYT has to say on the subject https://archive.ph/ThjaB

                I know they aren’t exactly fighting on their own, but it’s also not the same as fighting NATO directly. Somehow you keep missing the point.

                  Seems to me that you’re the one missing the point. Ukrainians use NATO weapons, but their actual skill in fighting is far higher than that of NATO armies that haven’t seen combat. In a recent NATO exercise, 10 Ukrainians wiped out two NATO battalions in 24h with drones, NATO troops couldn’t even locate the launch points. So, Russia is fighting a superior army to that of NATO that’s using best NATO equipment.

          It seems technology has once again made it easy to create military stalemates regardless of the nations fighting.

          This seems like a hard lesson to learn for many in different countries. Perhaps those obstinate generals of World War One, those that ordered failed assaults, should be looked at differently, and not judged so harshly as history has.

          Because people seem to just do this

                Casualties aren’t the same thing as deaths or MIA. Casualties also include injured and those taken out due to sickness.

                  right, casualties are a superset of killed and MIA, but we see that overall casualties on both sides are about even and far lower than mainstream western media pretends

      Just because they are not participating directly doesn’t mean they are not involved. Nato countries assit with intel and sanctions to weaken iran capacity to defend itself

          Who said I am addressing the headline? I addressed your own point that this is only the US war and not NATO while Nato is involved in non direct military action . Non direct military support is still very valuable in war

      Funny…

      https://www.airandspaceforces.com/american-forces-europe-key-us-war-iran/

      Just a reminder that whilst the people of Europe may be against bombing Iran, you do not live in a democracy and you have zero power to stop your government from enabling it.

      You live in a bourgeois autocracy with democratic window dressing.
