    Fair enough actually that’s a pretty realistic possibility. It would be truly hilarious though if he attacked a NATO state and they just didn’t bother to invoke article V because of the obvious non threat of Russia and just completely called the bluff on whatever dumbass “operation” Putin cooks up.

    I can’t see them having the capacity to commit to opening a second front in this war over the long term. Whatever they do to NATO will be a 1 off event designed to provoke a reaponse

      Plausible we will get that laugh. By my guess is NATO will be afraid to escalate and just say “vlad, please don’t do that. It’s unkind and a bit hostile.” And then block the savings account of ivan from Saskylach.
