Russian invasion of Ukraine

I agree that NATO with their advanced weapons would hold them back to a point, but if they keep putting the meat grinder through,if they get on nato territory then someone’s got to fight them, how long for who knows.

if NATO cannot stop Russia, no point in sending our civvies to feed the "meat grinder"

They wouldn't, simple as that, they're short of troops, and short on equipment, they can't even keep up with replacing the kit they lose every day. There's no way they could commit to taking on another battle for years, possibly decades, they can't even get past Avdiivka, or Bahkmut, and they were pretty much at the door of both in 2014, never mind 2022.

NATO isn't going to stop providing weapons either, and anyone thinking that NATO isn't already at the Ukraine border doesn't know what they're talking about, they wouldn't get 1 KM into Poland, Finland, or the other Baltic States at the moment.

Not according to @Man_City_Loyal who believes Russia are a super power military wise and are simply not committing the full force of the Kremlins available military might.

Information is all online for you to read, you're choosing not to read what's been reported about the numbers of troops and equipment being used in the conflict by Russia out of what they have available and call me Vlad instead.

Clown behaviour.

Not sure you did, so for completeness, they are set out below. Please answer

Not once said my point was based on what’s posted on here but what the actual reality is on the ground in Europe.

You continue to push the Russia is a superpower military wise yet the facts don’t bare that out as it witnessed in all its glory online.

I asked you several pertinent questions to challenge your stance, which you didn’t attempt to give a proper answer.

So I will try again.

Why has it not simply squashed Ukraine like a fly?

And if they are so well armed why would a superpower have to

Conscript civilians to fight in Ukraine?
Arrest those fleeing to avoid conscription?
Use antiquated artillery?
Not equip those on the front line with basic clothing, food or equipment?
Beg weapons from other countries?
Commit multiple war crimes
Sack Generals for not winning in Ukraine?

I look forward to hearing your answers to those

Look at my previous answers to your previous questions.

Then, when you acknowledge them we can move on

Why would they roll through Poland when they aren't doing in Ukraine?

Especially as the Polish defence budget is now doubled to 4% of GDP and will go up more in 2025. The amout of military kit they have is increasing by the day - Lots of HIMARS (500 launch systems and ammo ordered - first 54 arrived in early Jan) Korean 155mm guns + ammo, Korean K2 tanks and US Abrams tanks.
