So it’s not a stretch to think that once a Russian tank would cross into Poland it would be met with immediate lethal force.

- dudeinhawaii 5y agoThanks for this, this is a good data point for NATO action. It's a little different in that it seems more accidental than intentional though.
- arisAlexis 5y agoWasn't a NATO action. Was a split second decision by Erdoga so he can play his power games.
