(Ukraine is a place where NATO and Russian are fighting)
Nope.
Ukraine is fighting. NATO is providing Ukraine with materiel and intelligence, but is not fighting. If NATO was fighting Russia directly, there's two possible scenarios:
- Conventional fighting only. All Russian forces in Ukraine are destroyed, along with all Russian bases close enough to the border to be a potntial threat. Belarus is liberated from Lukachenko and the rest of the pro-Russian stooges, with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya as the head of a provisional government while the country goes through Constitutional reform. Kaliningrad is occupied and used as a bargaining token to force Russian capitulation.
- Nuclear escalation. All Russian forces are still destroyed, and not just in Ukraine this time, but unfortunately so are a lot of other things. This is not a desirable scenario, neither for NATO nor for Russia, and that's why NATO is not fighting directly.
So is British, and American, also French. Because you won against Germans
France is not under the Third Republic, so no.
No, Russia would have mobilised and taken over most of the left bank before Ukraine could resist or NATO could interfere. UAF at the time was totally incapable of defeating Russia.
Mogilization is not an instant thing nor a stealthy thing. Before February, most of NATO expected Russia would just try to invade the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, instead of attempting to take over the entire country. But that was partly due to the lack of serious preparation. And this partial loss of territory would, back then, have been accepted as no big deal.
If Russia had started to mogilize its troops, then while they're doing that, the other side can prepare as well. So I doubt things would have gone as smoothly for Russia as you think. Besides, one constant of Russian thinking is that they lie to everyone including themselves. They thought they had enough force to take over the entire country, they didn't. If they had mogilized, they would have thought they had enough forces to take over the entire Ukraine + Baltics or whatever. They'd still have come up short because with bigger means come bigger appetite.
Even now, if they bring in enough troops, they can make a beeline towards all the major cities and this would end the war very quickly, 'cause about 500,000-700,000 troops would get surrounded.
That's a good idea, they should send 500,000-700,000 Russian troops on very long and very thin invasion columns beelining towards Kyiv, like they did in Spring. The war would indeed get over very quickly; I fully approve of this plan.
Russians want to inflict heavy cost of war on NATO countries and reduce their industrial out put because that's the backbone of NATO and take revenge of what NATO did to USSR by caping oil prices. The Russian target is not Ukraine but NATO.
Complete delusions. Russia attacks Ukraine and tries to annex it, they're not attacking NATO because they know -- the last remnant of factualcy they haven't entirely covered up with their own stupid narrative yet -- that it would mean the end of Russia. The trade war between the West and Russia is at the West's initiative, not Russia. If we had not reacted to their aggression of Ukraine, they'd still be happy to sell us gas and oil, and buy machines and electronics from us.
If you have heard what Kremlin said earlier it was clear that Russia will expand the theater not just militarily but also economically. It is all planned.
Yeah, we've all been Very Impressed™ these last several months by the quality of Russian Planning™.
Russian soldiers didn't run away but retreated
That's the same thing.
