Once sh!t hits the fan, realpolitik will take over. Western Europe will not want a war with Russia over the Baltics.
The US will be far too distracted in the Pacific. They have already moved 7 carriers there.
We are entering a more dangerous period than was the case during the Cold War. China wasn't a factor then. And the US and Europe combine could comfortably afford an arms race with the Soviet Union. This time neither Europe nor the US can afford a long term arms race with Russia or China resply.
Only 900k actually.

Avoiding dealing with trouble in the Baltics only makes the trouble worse and brings it closer, that's what you're missing.
Why would they need carriers for the Baltics? There are airbases all over Europe?
Sure they can. There's well over a billion people in NATO and their Pacific allies and a huge combined GDP.
Published footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the new Ukrainian MLRS "Bureviy" near Artemovsk. MLRS "Bureviy" with a caliber of 220 mm, placed on the Tatra T815-7 chassis and put into service in 2022. The MLRS was designed to replace the Soviet Uragan MLRS, the MLRS firing range is up to 65 km. Technical information about it is on the channel. As a result of the impact of the drone "Lancet", the rockets detonated in the MLRS "Bureviy".
Nope. That's dystopian, found only in authoritarian systems.
There will be trouble closer as well.
Here's what your air chief has to say about it:
RAF chief warns Russia ‘is a direct threat to UK’ if Putin loses Ukraine war
He says Russia will be 'damaged, vindictive, and brutal'.

You were the one who brought it up. Read your post again.
Sure they can.
You can't expect a school to teach in 90 different languages, or a government to operate in such, as would be the case in Europe. I mean, when Indians came to the UK, did anyone expect all UK teachers to learn Hindi?
All the trouble is Russia's right now. They have fires and explosions all over the place in Russia because they have a c*nt government.There will be trouble closer as well.

Air Marshall wants the air force beefed up, so is appealing for funds.
You were saying they'd be distracted. Even 4 carriers is 3 more than Russia, 3.5 more really. Kuznetsov counts as half a carrier at best.
Fact. Worry more about your own future rather than salivating over problems for Europe. Problems with China will also distract Russia don't forget.Sure they can.
The Russians are not foreigners in Estonia, they are natives to the region. A Hindi medium school is not realistic in the UK, but in India, all states teach in their respective languages. So the same right, not a privilege, but a right, has to be accorded to minorities in Estonia as well.
What Estonia is doing is the same as what China is doing to Uyghurs in some respects, which even Ukraine has already done to the Russian language and culture in Ukraine. This stuff is done by authoritarian regimes.
The equivalent in the UK would be erradicating Gaelic.
He's not talking about the RAF at all.
Chinese, dude, the Chinese. They will have carriers of their own. Who in Europe cares about Russia in the Pacific?
The Chinese built 3 carriers within 10 years, so they can build 6 from 2 shipyards in the next 10. That's at least 7 flattops by 2035.
The Ukraine war isn't a problem for us, but if Europe goes to war with Russia, that's gonna become a problem for the whole world.
China will happily take the back seat with Russia and Europe on a collision course. Article 5 is gonna be the least likely measure to deal with an insurgency in the Baltics. All other types of attacks, like separatism in the Balkans or terrorism, stuff the RAF chief warned about, won't be enough to blame the Russians.
The best course of action for Europe and the rest of the world is for Russia to finish this war on their terms. There's already an arms race between the US and China, the world cannot afford a second one between Europe and Russia.
