I realize I may get some divisive answers, but if NATO Countries all agreed, mobilized, and went into Russia full force with no warning, what are the likely outcomes? (sh.itjust.works)

EDIT: For clarification, I feel that the current situation on the ground in the war (vs. say a year ago) might indicate that an attack on Russia might not result in instant nuclear war, which is what prompted my question. I am well aware of the “instant nuclear Armageddon” opinion.

Serious question. I don’t need to be called stupid. I realize nuclear war is bad. Thanks!

NATO would ensure that the US is involved. We're aligned with the Europeans.

Doesn’t Drumpf plan to remove us from NATO? Or am I remembering wrongly what I read?

[–] card797@champserver.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, well. He is going to prison.

[–] AndrewZabar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He will never see a second in prison, don’t kid yourself.

[–] card797@champserver.net 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He deserves it.

A boy can dream, can't he?

Personally, I wish that jackass who shot his ear had been a better shot. What a waste of such an opportunity.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Trump probably gets rock hard at the idea of having an excuse to hit the nuke button so leaving NATO wouldn't even be a deal breaker
