yes, specially because NATO outnumbers Russia. So you have a giant supporting Ukraine, which isn't exactly a small country.

- squarefoot 4y agoThis assuming that NATO won't turn their back to Ukraine one day. Russia is forced to continue this war to a favorable point, because any withdrawal that is not accompanied by a significant territorial acquisition that can be trumpeted by internal and external propaganda would result in Putin's political demise and possibly his death too. Russia's tactics of weakening Ukrainian people support for their government through civilian objectives bombings and war crimes might unfortunately work if NATO doesn't hurry and give Ukraine the weapons and assistance they need ASAP instead of wasting time bouncing responsibilities. There's people dying over there each day, and I find revolting that seeing that it takes them months to even decide to send tanks or not.
- inglor_cz 4y agoBy now, NATO is so deep in that if it abandons the battlefield, American and British credibility will be annihilated. No one would trust an ally which sticks with you for a year in the most massive European land war since 1945, only to go away later and leave you hanging.
- squarefoot 4y agoI hope so much you're right.
- jonstewart 4y agoRussia isn’t forced to pursue the war. They could withdraw and that would be a good thing.
- squarefoot 4y agoYes, but today Russia does what Putin says, unless they overthrow him. If we accept the fact that Putin is a dictator, then, like every other dictator, he could have only two choices: winning or dying.
