    With “NATO”. If Putin nuked The Hague every country would fight Russia… Except the US. I think best case scenario they would remain neutral.

      They have nukes though, what’s more concerning. And I don’t really believe any NATO country would actually sacrifice their nukes and risk retaliation if, let’s say, Russia nuked the Baltics. That said, indeed it’s hard to imagine Russia winning a conventional war

        They have nukes, but are they even active anymore? If their nukes are like the rest of the military, they haven’t been touched in 30 years

    The EU would need to step in an start acting like the US did if they want to maintain the current world order. Eliminate the threats to democracy running wild or allow the rise of authoritarianism to return to the global sphere. They should just wage war on Russia in defence of a free nation on their border against an invading force bent on occupation and repatriation. If the world is expected to take the UN seriously, they need to act united and represent unification and defence of the freedom to exist. Too bad it’s just a token organization… This is all a test. How far can they push before getting a reaction?
