I hope this is not the meat wave that overwhelms Ukraine’s defenses in one direction or another. If ten NATO countries sent 5000 troops each, that would be 50,000 to help Ukraine defend herself. USA and Germany do not have to send anybody. Japan, Philipines, Australia and others could send 5000 each to gain experience fighting Norks and fill the gap. Do we want NATO forces to be the only ones without actual combat experience going forward? France is the only NATO country that has significant numbers of troops with actual recent combat experience afaik. Most other NATO troops have not seen combat since Afghanistan, so over a decade ago.

I think we all expected this but this low-key diy wwIII is from russia getting it’s way for to long. The escalation has to be from the NATO side in order for the russians to take notice. The sanctions were a good move but they need to follow up harder on those. Also more direct hospitalization of Ukrainian troops and off loading the rest of the pre – 1980’s equipment (Greece and Turkey that stuff hasn’t moved in ages and your both in NATO, act your age)
