US/UK/Germany/Sweden and many other EU/Nato countries already sent over 15,000 anti tank missiles and over 3,000 anti aircraft missiles to Ukraine. Including this week. But they sent in individual name, not in NATO name.

Assuming that Putin will start nuclear war over 30 planes is also binary reasoning.

US has never moved nuclear missiles closer to Russia in Europe after the end of the cold war. Unlike Russia who is today talking about putting nuclear weapons in Belarus.

How Russia will spin it: yet another example of US imperialism where they force another country to accept their troops so that NATO can get closer to our borders and threaten us.

Because the only meaningful NATO troops are US, and then far away UK and maybe France.

To me it looks like Russia it's turning into a big North Korea. If they disconnect from the internet they will have almost complete informational control. If they carpet bombed Kyiv few russians would know.
