A formal NATO meeting is coming up in July. Not surprisingly, Ukraine will be a major topic. The Guardian headlines, “Nato members may send troops to Ukraine, warns former alliance chief.“ This sounds pretty serious, that NATO countries would send troops to fight directly against Russian troops in Ukraine. By almost any interpretation, that would be a direct war between NATO and Russia, no longer any kind of “proxy war” between Russia and the Western alliance. And it somes from a seemingly substantive source:
What method would Russia use to retaliate if NATO directly intervenes?
Much earlier I though Russia would attempt to “shut down” Ukraine using nuclear EM pulse. Russia is doing that using conventional means. Please use your imagination. bc note the USA test affected Hawaii at some distance from the high altitude nuclear explosion near the equator. Far from the equator the effect is much greater.
It's safe to assume that Russia has gamed out a variety of scenarios. Taking some provocative action like a troops buildup on the border or some sabotage action against one of the Baltic states or Finland seem like obvious possibilities. Hopefully it won't come to that!
