David Petraeus: What Putin Has Really Done Is Make NATO Great Again

Ironic isn’t it. He was worried about NATO expansion in Ukraine and by invading the country he has done the exact opposite of what he wished for. NATO has now gotten stronger and bigger.

Your foreign policies have the same deluded smack of historical "manifest destiny", that almost guarantees future screw-ups because of present attitudes.

The real Problem with NATO is simple. THEY are there for the defense of NATO countries ONLY.

- nato stepping in against russia means a domino escalation will happen and end up in a nuclear war. Putin is afraid of the nato and won't hesitate to use nukes if he's regime is threatened. - can't join nato if you're at war already, to avoid countries dragging others into their own local wars. - nato is not an army or a country, it's a defensive pact that englobes the rules of engagement, a unified command center and standardisation to allow a maximal efficiency in case of a war. Nato's budget is nothing but each member's budget additionned together. Nato members have done a lot for ukraine. From all types of material to training forces to new material (switchblades, caesar automotive canons, etc) to huge logistical support. They've been training ua forces since 2014. But stepping in, in ukraine, means a direct war with russia, so a global war ensuing. Be careful for what you wish, a war asks for a heavy tribute, even for winners.

Ukraine will be a great power once Russia is defeated I’m confident the centre of power and economic of the world will be somewhat shift towards Europe if Russia is soundly defeated! I’m not surprised the the factory of the world title shifts towards Europe if Russia becomes a true democracy! Imagine a huge educated demographic, good labor force at huge wages difference from the north to south of Europe. Huge natural resources from agriculture, oil, gas, minerals you name it!!!

Trump had promised Putin to withdraw from NATO and to block the Javelins. ( the reason to impeach him) He pulled Putin in this war this way. Trump is more dangerous because he does not even know he was working for Russia with Manafort and Kilimnik.

Didn't he get US to be energy independent and exporting energy? I don't think thw Taliban gave him 2 weeks ultimatum to get out of Afghanistan. Putin probably watch the US response to Taliban ultimatum too. what he did or said, no war happened until... hahaha

[@TonyM1961]

That's because NATO is a treaty organization that is in direct opposition to Russia, but with Ukraine not being a member, any coordination between all of NATO could easily be read as an escalation or possibly even interpreted as an attack by NATO which could lead to WWIII. It's a delicate balancing act to avoid having the war expand beyond Ukraine

[@samueltillery8612]

[@KiatHuang]

The Ukrainian FM was right - NATO as an organisation has done nothing expect talk. It's been left to the USA, Canada, Australia, the UK and other European neighbours of Russia, mostly, that have unilaterally each decided and done something. NATO not. They seem to be collecting countries - maybe NATO should pay Ukraine massive commissions.

[@jonovens7974]

it's politics - individual countries can send arms - but NATO is a military group - do you really want it to do something ? - especially to do something WELL OUTSIDE it's charter.

[@KiatHuang]

@@jonovens7974 personally, yes. NATO can put peacekeeping troops in to protect civilians in all the regions that Russia currently do not control - with a remit to defend themselves (with conventional weapons) if attacked by Russian forces.

[@RorRiiZzLE]

Hopefully what’s going on in Ukraine bugs enough people before it starts to turn into a 10, 15, 20 year war that most of our nations think it’s okay to just sit back and be a spectator; even if you are donating supplies here n there, it’s just not right.

[@RorRiiZzLE]

@Pickin Dim That really sucks, but that’s even more of a reason for NATO to jump in and help finish off this unprovoked and irrational war by Putin. Like, if they do a real quick entry for Sweden and Finland into NATO, maybe then they could put Ukraine up for vote again at least to see where they stand and maybe they too will get in and we’ll then have several countries bordering Russia and be able to call any bluff they make at that point.

Relationships are built on power dynamics, America is the most powerful country in the world. When America rejects this place, a power vacuum emerges and it is inevitably filled by adversaries, because our own rejection of leadership makes our allies follow.
