Fat and Stupid, Why NATO is Good for Russia

"Why is NATO a very good enemy? First of all, because it is a paper tiger. And specifically toilet paper - the structure itself is in such shit, and along with it, the entire military machine of Europe. It is precisely because of the existence of NATO that no country (once a very warlike continent) can field even a single combat-ready ground division at any given moment. You know, even three of them won’t be able to come to an agreement, for example, France, England, and Germany are unable to cooperate."

A Russian calling NATO a paper tiger after how ineffective the world has seen the Russian military is in Ukraine.
andrewfi says ''Proximity is almost no guarantee of authority" and "in many cases, distance gives a better picture with less emotional and subjective input."

That means I'm a subject matter expert on all things Russia, Ukraine and UK.

Anything other than a NATO-style carpet bombing campaign is seen as ineffective by American armchair experts.

Perhaps you would prefer the effectiveness displayed by Israel to the civilians of Gaza? Or the US in Libya and elsewhere?

There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

Carpet bombing Germany in WW2 is one of the reasons why you're speaking English instead of speaking German and eating wiener schnitzel.

As for the effectiveness of the Israelis killing Hamas fighters in Gaza really the only sadness I have is for the children killed in Gaza. From what I've seen the overwhelming majority of Gaza "civilians" in reality were Hamas soldiers or in some way aided Hamas. The same for Lebanese being Hezbollah soldiers.

Collective punishment is against International law. The Palestinian civilians have no weapons and no way to defend themselves. Israel has been committing genocide for nearly one hundred years against them and stealing their land and their homes.

They've been raped, held without cause, starved, shot for no cause and the list goes on, including head shots and body shots made to small children including babies.

The Israelis are guilty of multiple war crimes and in a just world they will eventually be held to account.

Western sources often report that "valiant" Ukrainians have shot down a hooliard of Russian drones and emerged victorious. It is surprising that someone trusts such narratives on the third year of SWO. The ineffectiveness is not ascribed to the Russian military but to the liberal elite, who are perceived to make concessions in hopes of currying favor with the West.
