Hakeem Jeffries: "If Ukraine falls, significant likelihood we have to get involved in the conflict "

Ridiculous take. Russia isn’t attacking NATO, and we aren’t going to start a direct war with Russia.

Do people here realize that the real world isn’t a Risk game? Russia isn’t attacking NATO. Period.

Well, I guess they might wait for the Trump presidency to dismantle NATO and THEN do it.

The USA can’t “dismantle” NATO. Even if Trump actually managed to get the USA out of it (so, like, already a 0% chance), it would still have the nuclear powers of France and the UK, among other strong militaries. Given how Russia is struggling a lot already against Ukraine, they wouldn’t stand a chance against NATO, which they are well aware of.

Russia is not Germany, Putin is not Hitler, and the year is not 1939.

They weren't attacking Ukraine either, until they did.

The difference is that attacking Ukraine would not be suicidal. The fact that some people here think that Russia may actually attack NATO, or that such a possibility is the same as them invading Ukraine, is astounding.

You don't know that to be true, so stop stating it as some universally recognized fact. You can't know that to be true, just like we can't know for certain that they are going to attack a NATO country. Period.

I mean, I also can’t be sure that Liechtenstein won’t invade and annex the USA while I’m sleeping tonight. But it has the same probability of Russia attacking NATO.
