Dr Gloom 24242 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 ok, fair enough. it can be tempting to post stuff on twitter which hasn't yet been verified. i've just been feeling sick since i watched the video of that russian tank running over a civilian car and this looked like more of the same at first glance, tweeted by a trusted source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I'll answer your strange question. It is so far 100% effective. Nobody has yet tried to invade a NATO country. The people of the countries of NATO supplies the troops for NATO. This is pretty basic stuff Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That driver of the tank was a psycho though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You asked "Is NATO effective?" which I assumed was a rhetorical question implying it isn't. Otherwise its a question a 5 year old wouldn't need to ask.

Renton 24454 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I'm now convinced this isn't a winnable war and Putin has made a huge blunder. I was ignorant to the shear size and population of Ukraine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6436 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I think it depends on what happens after he's killed Zelenskiy. Will Ukraine continue to function without a government, will it be able to coordinate an effective response? Also, we don't know that his goal is conquest, if it's just regime change then he will have secured an objective as long as he gets a puppet government in place.
