Appreciate these, almost like a front page.
Regarding NATO, I'm not sure about these narratives about it "falling apart". If anything, it's been proven to still be important in the face of continuing attacks on neighbors. As much as I hate the idea, hopefully at least the other countries will start ponying up what they should have all along. Most (except Poland) don't have military worth shit and I can't imagine them wanting to break up NATO.
Yep. If anything, NATO is expanding. And Russia has no one to blame but itself for that. NATO WAS starting to fall apart since no one believed it was needed anymore, and the US was starting to get sick and tired of paying for Europe's defense while they got fat and lazy doing nothing. There was a lot of talk in the US of getting out of NATO if it wasnt going to hold up its end of the deal, and negotiating direct alliances with the people we cared about like Poland and the UK.
Then Russia goes full retard, goes screaming into Ukraine, and everyone goes "Oh wait. I guess Russia is still a threat. Better beef up NATO." And a lot of nations that were left out before said "Hey, can we join the 'Fuck Russia' club?" All because of the baboon brain that is Putin gloriously misreading the room.
NATO isn't expanding - despite a literal year of babbling about muh Finland and Sweden, no progress has been made on the matter. All that happened is that Erdogan is swinging his dick around and noone knows how to deal with him. NATO also isn't "beefing up" by any stretch of the imagination - the 100 bil EUR the Germans were talking about never showed up and they still have two airworthy Eurofighters and no navy, and no attempt has been made to fix that. Fucking Christ, they're currently struggling to find 14 combat-ready Leo 2A6s. FOURTEEN! A couple of countries (i.e. the Czech Republic) are talking about buying some of the most overpriced fighter jets ever made, F-35s, but it'll be years before they're delivered and there's no money to keep them flying.
And even if Sweden and Finland do actually join in the end, neither of these countries has a military to speak of, they'd just be two more burdens. Meanwhile, Jens Stoltenberg recently admitted that all of NATO together is unable to even manufacture enough artillery ammunition to keep Ukraine supplied. That's one relatively minor conflict in the grand scale of things and the entire alliance is unable to keep pace, all the while regime media have been proclaiming glorious victory and how the evil ruZZian orcs will surely run out of ammunition "by Sunday" every two weeks since early March 2022. It's an unbelievable farce. In a functional society, if things ever got this bad, leaders would be falling on their own swords out of shame - but we don't live in functional societies, and our leaders are spineless, greedy cowards.
