Give it a try, see how well that goes
The actual western troops will bring the actual western weapons and in a non nuclear war, Russia will fold, even with the somewhat limited amount of weapons that Europe currently has
Russia can barely keep up with Ukraine having very limited western support. If the real weapons are taken out, they will be fucked.
I agree, this is definitely a bluff worth calling.
We’ve already seen mercenaries from the West get killed by Russians.
You believe a lot of bullshit.
According to governments and most citizens, mercenaries are different from the states own military. The results would be different.
I am still just pissed that they keep killing people in general but hey, I guess I’m the weird one.
