Russia is building up its military forces on Ukraines border with more troops on their way, contradicting Moscows claims of a drawdown, Natos secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, has said.
Despite suggestions from the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday that a partial withdrawal was in effect, Stoltenberg warned that Russian military capability was only increasing in number and strength.
The former Norwegian prime minister said Nato needed to be prepared for the worst while holding out hope that the signalling from Putin in recent days was evidence of a sincere desire to find a diplomatic way through the crisis.
Before a two-day meeting of Natos 30 defence ministers, Stoltenberg told reporters at the alliances headquarters in Brussels: So far we have not seen any de-escalation on the ground. On the contrary, it appears that Russia continues the military buildup.

God shut the fuck up. Even if or when Russia invades it's not going to be "WW3." This nonsense is almost as ridiculous as the tankies claiming it's all western lies

So you believe that NATO, which is a coalition of countries, fighting with Russia who is backed by China and North Korea, would not be a world war?

This is a hill you are willing to die on?

Ukraine is not part of NATO. A NATO war would involve US troops on the ground and a full-scale military conflict with all NATO members. Please read a book before shitposting.

So you are quite ignorant regarding what is going on then?
Please READ and dispel your ignorance.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2022/feb/16/ukraine-russia-latest-news-live-putin-biden-kyiv-russian-invasion-threat

As a consequence and to ensure the defence of all Allies, we are deploying additional land forces in the eastern part of the Alliance, as well as additional maritime and air assets, as announced by Allies, and have increased the readiness of our forces.
Our measures are and remain preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory. We are prepared to further strengthen our defensive and deterrent posture to respond to all contingencies.
Any further Russian aggression against Ukraine will have massive consequences and carry a high price.


But you suggest there will be no conflict with NATO if Russia invades?

Please note that they're talking about defensive troop buildups in NATO territories, same as Biden discussed yesterday. Keep tagging me in a topic I'm already posting in and I'll start marking you.

To say that this is a serious, dire situation is accurate. To say that it is the beginning of "World War 3" - a phrase that has been synonymous with "nuclear annihilation" for over 70 years now - is still a wee bit melodramatic.

also, pretty dumb comment to claim it is weak trolling when you say:

As outlined above, NATO will respond massively.
If you actually read about this, you would know that means sanctions to cyberwarfare to outright insurgency.

But you think NATO will not clash with Russia forces. Kinda weird stance to take.

WW3 doesn't mean nuclear annihilation. This is not a fiction novel.
A world war just means most of the world has an interest or participation in said war. Which is true for this case.

China already chimed in about it fyi.

Who the hell wants Mongolia? Even the Soviets turned down annexation when Mongolia was begging them to be included in the USSR.

If Russia does take over Ukraine the worse anyone will do is sanctions. NATO doesn't have the balls to do anything more than that.

Nope I'm American. No one did shit when Russia took Crimea. Why would things change now? If it makes you feel better I'll gladly admit I'm wrong if ww3 breaks out.

I'm not worried about China getting involved in Ukraine, but the lack of an actual response from the west is going to embolden them in regards to their territorial claims in SE Asian waters and their desire to reclaim Taiwan.

WWIII will happen eventually, but we are a good 5-7 years away from it.

So far Russia isn't doing jack ****, and all this fear mongering is getting tiresome.

Either **** or get off the pot Russia. 80's Russia wouldn't have pulled this garbage. It's just posturing right now. All talk, no action.

150,000 troops on the border of Ukraine, which would allow Russia to directly pressure NATO members adjacent isn't something that can lead to WW3? I'm not saying it's a surebet, but it's something that can happen, which is why the west is freaking out RN
