@@Broodplank86 How is it pessimistic to point out obvious problems that needs to be addressed? Looking at the "bright side" never improved anything, it only leads to arrogance and complacency witch is not something we can currently afford.

As it should be: Poland borders Russia, Germany does not. Also I don’t recall Poland sending their own troops to Baltic countries to protect and defend as Germany did. Germany is also protecting East Europe‘s skies from the baltics to Slovakia to Romania.

Would you also please explain to me how the UK, France and Finland could be considered more serious about European defense than Germany? Because from what I know the exact opposite is actually true.

@@jerrybartlett273 Dear Jerry, thanks for your kind message. I am 53 now and like my dad had obligatory Russian at school. I hope my sons and maybe grandsons will not have to learn it. If needed we will fight of course - as we always do - but the numbers are not favourable. As our population is simmilar in size to Ukraine there would be ca 4:1 ratio of Russians against us Poles... I hope other NATO countries will send than at least the aviation and we would not be not left alone like in 1939 when Brytan and France did nothing but a "sitzkrieg". I guess Russian attack on Ukraine has opened many eyes in Western Europe. And with the US army in deployed in Poland now I think we are much safer. If however Ukraine is left without help and they loose the next on the Russian Menu will be Estonia Latvia and Lithuania. But I think neither we nor Fins would not let them be taken easily... As long as the US is not taken over by isolationists we have good chances...

Anyone who thinks that it can win a nuclear war with tanks and airplanes is living in an alternate reality.

This, unfortunately was the only way to wake nato up. And to be honest, I’m afraid they will dose off again as soon as this conflict dies down.

@@cm-qt9ir US will spend either way.

@@cm-qt9ir It's not that simple. Pretty much the whole Europe, apart from the countries bordering Russia, thought that there would be no big wars anymore. So, it's not like "the USA will handle the defense in our stead", but rather "the USA is wasting so much money in the military, we will spend the money elsewhere". Countries bordering Russia thought otherwise, however. Finland, for example, has now also relatively speaking a more powerful military than ever before. It's partially thanks to some other countries letting go of their military capability and selling even modern equipment to anyone willing to buy, believing it would never be needed again. That's how Finland built its Leopard 2 fleet.

Unfortunately Canada is saddled with such blind, small minded, ignorant politicians, with Justin T running our government and destroying our country.

Do you realize that the Turkish army is about 11 times more massive than the army of the United Kingdom ? If Russia and Turkey were to ally it would be a giant blow for Nato. There is a reason that Turkey is in NATO even though its leader is a borderline dictator. Or do you not remember how he purged all of his political oponents, aswell as the inteligency during the 2016 "coup attempt" and the whole NATO just stood in silence ?

In this report the footage of Turkish Bayraktar Akinci was shown twice. Why has US put troops in Syr? Turkey has an actual border with them, also 4 million of them live inside Turkish borders as rfgs and millions under Turkish army protection in Syr. So why can't TK be there?
