Now that Putin says he won't attack NATO, should we start preparing?

Absolutely

Yeah man, Putler will be defeated any moment now. Just gotta send a few more billion to Lockheed and send a few more Ukrainian men to the slaughter.

He could withdraw his forces form UA at any time to stop the slaughter. Seems like the easiest way to stop it to me.

Which will only happen via negotiations that the US and UK have been blocking; not more funding to military corporations.

Russia started this war. They then expanded the war. The cause is Russia but you blame others.

[–] deafboy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Russia did not consult anyone before starting the war, they don't have to consult anyone to end it.

It's not a US, UK, EU or NATO that's blocking the negotiations but Russia with their demands. The only way for the negotiations to end up fairly is for Russia to pull back their forces from Ukrainian land and compensate for the rebuilding of Ukraine, but Russia would rather continue their genocide until there's nothing left.

When those F-16s fly under NATO and Ruzzia would shot those down. Wouldn't it make an attack on NATO?

[–] HumanPenguin@feddit.uk 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not really. The Ukraine is not a member of NATO. And a war zone for Russia.

So impossible for nato to claim it is an attack on a nato nation.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

I see. Thanks for clarifying.

Given the opposite land Putin lives in, me new expectation: Russia launches AA against NATO F-16s and uses this statement as proof it must have been Ukraine who did it.
