Russia will get their ass handed to them if they try taking on NATO, even without the US involved. The Ukraine invasion has made it very clear how degraded their capabilities are, and even more, how primitive their tactics are. And Russia’s fleet in the Baltic can’t do shit because of the Swedes and Finns joining NATO, and because Ukraine sunk most of the fleet using drones. Building warships is a long lead-time activity.
And as for Poland, Germany will not tolerate that. And the Poles are a far more powerful state than Ukraine, and hate the Russians even more, if that’s even possible.
That’s still no reason for us to give them money. We can’t negotiate with the BRICS as BRICS because every cent we give to Russia is a cent that Russia will use to to buy things to fire at us.
They can’t win a war, but the way their regime is set they need to fight a war. And while they can’t win they can ruin many lives in losing.
