MODERATORS
"Winning a war" with Russia from the NATO perspective is a task that would require every NATO member to engage in a total war that would wipe out a large portion of Eastern Europe.
There are NATO members who would balk at this immediately such as Turkey. There are NATO members who would be blood thirsty and balk at this once the war started, and Russia became a real threat (rather than imagined) inside their borders, which is almost every Eastern European and Nordic Country.
I cannot see Norway going to war with it's neighbor at the behest of America.
As a Norwegian, Norway is the 6th biggest weapon producer in the world, and supplies a third of all NATO ammunitions, from bullets to grenades to shells.
Our weapons industry alone makes us a critical target in any eventual war. And with american interference, Norway is absolutely guaranteed to be levelled to the ground.
We are so incredibly fucked, yet the average norwegian is too fucking propagandised to see it. I often hear "duuh, we'll fight them in the mountains"
Like, motherfucker, the russians aren't coming for our nature scenery.
The nazis burned down all of northern Norway when they retreated from Russian attacks.
Yanks will flatten the entire country to deny land to the russians.
We are absolutely fucked.
Every Nord and Finn thinks they can be Simo Hayha but the majority live in completely urbanized environments and haven't had to deal with the harsh realities of country life. But, yeah, you'll survive the mountains buddy.
The "international" community keeps pointing out how underdeveloped Russia is, as if having labor aristocracy soldiers is better than having ones that had to chop wood at grandma's house to keep the temps above 40 because grandma refused to leave her village.
The "rich countries" have a really fucking warped view of war.
