NATO-Russia Relations

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇬🇧 I am happy that Russia has a high tolerance for losses. I hope they can tolerate losing their territory, specifically Kaliningrad, which we will take from them to secure NATO's Baltic and Scandinavian members. If Russia's tolerance for losses is really high, perhaps we will take other territories like Murmansk Oblast, which will significantly decrease the land border between Finland and Russia, making our newest collective security member more secure. Or perhaps we will also take the whole region between Rostov-on-don to Volgograd to secure the Caucasus, and cut Russia off from both the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea and Crimea too of course. We should think about this whole Vladivostok region as well to secure Japan and Korea, and prevent more weapons shipments from North Korea to Russia. I'm seeing a lot of different ways to make ourselves and our friends more secure from Russia. The longer this war goes on, the more territory Russia will have to lose. Every time Russia tries to expand, they will shrink - that's a new international law.

There has to be a way to increase Russia's manpower losses as well. Ukraine is doing a good job, but Ukraine is outnumbered. We can make Ukraine's mission easier to accomplish. We should establish other ways to help Ukraine besides just weapons and ammunition deliveries. For instance convincing Russian soldiers on the front lines to surrender, as I suggested before, would be one way of decreasing Russia's manpower, or recruiting the Russian soldiers for a new mercenary military army may be another option. I believe a targeted, organized campaign by us will be more effective, then leaving potential Russian deserters to figure it all out on their own. If we can make it more enticing for Russian males to choose the path of deserting the Russian military, then more Russians will choose that path. xo
