LOL, I wonder if these plans to start a war with the west include a MASSIVE armament build up because in their current state they are no where near ready to take on NATO.
Ok. I'll bite.
Which parts of NATO would field a battle-ready force to defend the rest of the Ukraine? Or the Baltics?
Yes, the title "war with the west" is more than a little clickbait. But, I think the more realistic (relative expression there) scenario is Russia re-asserts herself to the USSR boundaries.
I'm not sure we would have the capacity or appetite for that fight.
