they enter eastern Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania (each with about 6500 troops under arms) and take up defensive positions behind minefields and natural obstacles like rivers &#8211; and deploy a blanket of LV, fighter jets, artillery, and drones over everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The existing defense is swept away because these 6500 + international Lithuanian brigade have a vast area to defend, and Belarus seemed threatening. Two army corps became a bit too overwhelming even for the heroes in the Lithuanian brigade when clouds of FPV drones created chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then NATO must decide whether to try to push out the Russians, for example, our battalion in the Lithuanian brigade, and then it&#8217;s not a question of defensive operations\/defense but covering a few miles and then trying to defeat the Russian invasion force that is in defense and waiting for just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European forces lack combat experience and do not have the experience, especially with drone weapons, that RU has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putin expects the following, and the upside is enormous &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-all countries must vote on the operation in their parliaments, and he can activate his support parties to obstruct the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-there will be a HUGE &#8220;why should we sacrifice our sons&#8217; lives for a field in eastern Estonia&#8221; from just EVERYONE &#8211; the peace movement, the environmental movement, Islamists, left, right, and some political parties.

Right now, Ukraine stands between Russia and the West completely embarrassing itself, but over time, RU will initiate this even if the war in Ukraine continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This online path is the dumbest thing I&#8217;ve seen since my short career with multiplayer in Age of Empires where I built square defense cubes of walls without gates and placed many archers inside (before they were fully built).
