nato isn't a list of countries that america has decided are off limits to russia. countries in nato were required after 9/11 to send troops to afghanistan to assist us in toppling the taliban, for example.

you're obviously presupposing something about the efficacy or practicality of article 5 since article 5 is the obvious answer to your op. so why not state that presupposition first and then we can go from there.

It got Javelins and HIMARS and Russia is stalled and losing ground. The US also bombed its convoys and sank the flagship of the black sea fleet. What's the point of being in NATO if the US is doing that for non-NATO members?

*we're* not defending anyone retard. we're giving the ukrainian military weapons that are inherently defensive--if they started firing the artillery we provided into russia it wouldn't get more it wouldn't hit a target that's more than 50 miles away. if russia tried to do in a nato country what it's doing in ukraine it would no longer have a military.

We've made it clear that Ukraine will not be allowed to fall. Furthermore western nations have said the fate of Ukraine is the fate of the west. If the fate of western democracy hinges on the survival of a non-NATO country, what good is NATO membership?

If Ukraine was NATO, Russia would not have invaded. And in the extremely unlikely event that they did invade, Russia would have been repelled quickly and violently. As Ukraine isn't a NATO member state, they're instead getting enough modern weaponry to make Russian conquest extremely costly in terms of lives and materiel. That support might delay the inevitable for years, but it likely won't be enough to stave off conquest forever.

Is there any reason you think this or are have you been on hallucinogens since February. Russia has already proven it doesn't give a fuck about NATO. It shrugged off NATO's attacks and just kept on invading.

U.S. allies most vulnerable to Russia press for more troops, weapons

About 100,000 U.S. troops are deployed across Europe, with a growing center of gravity in the east. But for those on Russia’s doorstep, it’s not yet enough.

By Alex Horton, Karoun Demirjian and Michael Birnbaum

August 13, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. EDT

RIGA, Latvia — As the United States and NATO inject personnel and equipment into Eastern Europe in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, vulnerable allies such as Latvia are scrambling to scale up their defenses for fear they will be next to come under attack.
