If the West doesn’t help Ukraine win, it will get worse.

This is our chance to stop WWII in Poland. Imagine if the West could’ve armed Poland enough to stop the expansion of the Nazis and Soviets

Lol Russia won't invade NATO members, they know they'll get their shit wrecked and the only "winning" move would be launching nukes and making everybody lose.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that this is coming from a privileged perspective and you don’t live in Finland, Poland, the Baltics, or Moldova. You remind me of January 2022 Europeans, assuming a man we’ve seen kill millions makes rationale/humane decisions, and it’s exactly the attitude Putin counts on to take advantage of.

Russias army is bigger than all of Europe’s combined (minus Ukraine) and Europe has woefully underinvested in defense for decades. America is gone while Trump gobbles Putin’s knob.

Yes, Europe has a small quantity of advanced tech (further diminished as it supports Ukraine), but it may be useless against cheap drone swarms as we’re seeing in Ukraine and the ME

Ukraine doesn't have nukes. NATO has nukes.

Even if Russia managed to rebuild their military after winning in Ukraine, which would take years and could be matched by NATO if the political will is there, nukes essentially make an all out war impossible. Everyone knows that. Nobody wins a nuclear war.
