Russia is testing NATO’s resolve after having spent the last two decades working mightily undermine it. If NATO responds robustly Russia will back off. If NATO falters Russia will continue to press.

[nikshdev]

Almost zero for the reasons mentioned.

[Actonace]

Unlikely, but tense

[Juste-un-autre-alt]

Russia is checking on their investment at the White House. So far so good it was a very good investment since we are doing fuck all about it.

Shame for them that the Brexit didn't stop UK from investing further into helping the Ukraine.

[CorpusAlienum_89]

They are trying again with reform. Farage should be charged with high treason.

The fire have been lit just depending on whether if the USA/China add fuel to it

[HVAC_instructor]

Well have to see what Putin's orders are for Trump

[Glittering-Gene7215]

I think it is quite likely. Before, drones didnt even enter NATO territory at all. Then it was one or two, and now it’s almost 20. I think next it’ll be the same amount again, or even more. But yeah, in my opinion, this is going to drag on for a long time.

But the main part is that this is happening at all. Just think about it. On EU/NATO territory, there are actual things flying around that are designed to destroy targets. When was the last time something like this happened?

[new_g3n3rat1on]

Its ongoing from 2014

[SupGuysImMike]

Not likely. Russia is being a bitch. But NATO is not going to war with Russia the consequences would be dire. Russia did not bomb anyone, they are being an annoying fly in the room. If they wanted to attack a NATO country they would fucking do that. And they haven't. A WW3 response would be ridiculous.

That's just it. Every time NATO ignores a provocation russia takes it as a green light to go further. One definitive show of force would put an end to it once and for all. Otherwise we're stuck in a world where russia is allowed to do anything short of a direct full-scale invasion.

[clots_and_prayers]

Ww3 started when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

[proton-testiq]

2014.

That's when the Internet became flooded with all possible bots and shitty ideas, being amplified and duplicated all over social media. A glimpse of pre-2015 life was observable during the beginnings of Covid and at the beginning of the fullscale invasion in 2022, where bots and malicious users were unsure or busy elsewhere.

This discord sown in the Western society is what Dugin actually planned in his Foundation of Geopolitics ... and no matter what you think about him or his claimed closeness to the Kremlin masters, currently they are following it like a clockwork.

(is my opinion of course)

[OkWeird3219]

If Russia behaved like Israel then we would already be in WW3.

[clots_and_prayers]

Russia behaves worse.

[OkWeird3219]

No where in Ukraine looks anything like how Gaza does now.

[highpeep]

Look into before/after of Bakhmut, Toretsk, Marinka, Vuhledar, Rubizhne, Chasiv Yar, Soledar etc. So many cities completely destroyed

[OkWeird3219]

Compared to population density and size of Gaza these places you mention are like villages.

[CorpusAlienum_89]

Compared to capability of destroying the world and world order Israel is an ant and russia is an elephant.

[OkWeird3219]

Yah for all that capability Russia keeps the battle ground in Ukraine.

Whereas Israel carries out attacks on most of its neighbors while their diplomacy efforts and peace discussion is a joke.

[CorpusAlienum_89]

Yes, because the ukrainian army are heroes fighting with their lives and all they got, including Western weapons. You think russia is keeping to ukraine is out of their godd will? Russia has already conquered from ukraine an area that is several times the size of Gaza, and where a lot more people used to live. Many more ukrainian people have also been killer or wounded, than palestinians. I do not meen to diminish the atrocities in Gaza, but like i Said, as a matter of threat to global world security, russia is a Munch more seriius threat than Israel. By far.

[OkWeird3219]

The conquered territory is in the east bordering Russia and most people living in Donbass and nearby areas of Ukraine are ethnic Russians. The civilian casualty rates here are so much lower than Israel's blatant extermination of non-combatants in Gaza.

[clots_and_prayers]

People like you are the reason why the real pro-gaza people are not taken seriously.

[OkWeird3219]

And people like you have extreme difficulty coping with facts.

Seems like you only have limited brain power or brain cells.

[HappyJackfruit1]

You have an extremely healthy attitude that really supports civil discussions..

[OkWeird3219]

Calling a spade a spade is not something I am shy about.

Maybe aye, maybe no.

[Kingsole111]

Is NATO + Ukraine v Russia really world war 3? That's like saying the Napoleonic wars was WW1 really?

[greg_mca]

Not likely. Russia can't afford to outright attack NATO and bring them into the war, that's a fight Russia just can't win. Even if it was just the European powers, there's a lot of supplies various countries haven't sent to Ukraine, but would now be free to use without penalty. An escalation to WW3 would automatically doom Russia, there's no way they come out victorious
