    Russia doesn’t actually want NATO get involved so they wouldn’t strike the host nation.

        Russia has stated many things which are often contradictory and false.

        Regardless, attacking NATO countries would be strategic insanity.

            They’re not insane: everything they’ve done are things they sincerely thought they could get away with, and up until Ukraine Putin has been correct in that regard.

            Pretending to be crazy is an effective strategy: ironically Nixon popularized it during the cold war.

            Attacking targets in NATO countries (even if “justified”) is going to drastically increase the odds NATO gets directly involved in Ukraine – something Putin absolutely doesn’t want.

            It’s not even politics, It’s just math. NATO has superiority in economy, industrial output, operational equipment and manpower.

            Plus they’re too close to Russia for asymmetric warfare rules.

            I would bet on it, but I’d sure as hell wish we could all get along instead.

            Um… Is NATO weaker with the addition of Sweden and Finland? I’m not sure what your definition of “weak” means. I thought having more allies is not weak.

        If it’s a NATO country the F-16s are the least of their worries and find out what a real 3 day operation looks like.

            Well the second best army is not performing anywhere near expectations. Russia should finish one fight theycan’t go the distance on before picking on NATO.
