If this was coming from a non bias point of view it would be different but whatever…
The Institute for the Study of War's Fredrick W. Kagan wrote that unless the US resumes sending military aid, Ukraine will be defeated and Russia will become an even greater military threat able to then "drive toward the NATO borders from the Black Sea to central Poland."
In the event that Russia attacked the alliance, NATO would likely have to resolve threats at Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary's southern borders, holding up its forces that are tasked with defending countries in the Baltic region like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
In that dire scenario, "NATO troops, inexperienced in fighting modern mechanized war, would be staring down a battle-hardened Russian military, emboldened from its victory in Ukraine," Kagan wrote.
He said that it "is almost impossible to overstate how much the success or failure of Ukraine's current efforts to fight off the Russian attack changes the prospects of a future Russian attack against NATO's northeastern flank," which would be front-line fighting in a war with Russia.
"An independent Ukraine with a strong military and a pro-Western government will make a Russian attack on NATO much more difficult, risky, and costly for Moscow," he wrote.
Kagan argued in his analysis that a "victorious Russia that succeeds in its aim of destroying Ukraine entirely" will likely "pose a major conventional military threat to NATO in a relatively short period of time."
He added that "it will be much harder to deter future Russian aggression and both more difficult and far more costly to defeat it if deterrence fails."

"This is the downfall of Europe that once a lot of people dreamed of.
In Serbia everyone feels the same. If you let Kosovo in, you are rejecting Serbia, you are expelling Serbia."

First it was Putin would not attack Ukraine if it was in NATO
And now it’s if Putin capture Ukraine he will attack other NATO countries….
USA and UK stop the peace negotiations that would’ve save much of Ukraine.
This was asking for Ukraine to stop killing the peoples of the Donbas and Ukraine stay neutral
Have you noticed that none of the mainstream media has ever talked about the 14000 civilians that has been killed in Donetsk City since 2014, through shelling by the Ukrainian army.
This is one of the reasons why Russia initiated the special military operation
That don’t fit into the notion that Russia is invading Ukraine.
This conflict was over Zelensky was about to sign the agreements…
Security assurance, but no nato membership aka no military bases in Ukraine.
Ukraine was to stop shelling the DPR and LPR… along with giving up the idea of Crimea…
Since then other regions wants to be included in the Russia Federation….
Probably 350k dead Ukrainians and a shit load have left the country and don’t plan to come back
