Would Macron's call to arms pay off? Experts say a NATO force would defeat Putin's army in Ukraine but intervention would fail without US support...and could even trigger nuclear war

Ukrainian soldiers firing artillery at their fighting position as the Russia-Ukraine war continues in the direction of Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine on February 26, 2024 Although Ukraine's NATO allies have been supporting Volodymyr Zelensky's armed forces with powerful military hardware, missiles and billions of pounds in funds, the idea of sending troops to Ukraine has been taboo. This second phase would involve sending thousands of Russian soldiers, AI-controlled tanks and special forces, to attack one of the Baltic states on NATO's eastern flank - most likely either Lithuania, Poland or Estonia. And Gen. Hodges said that after Putin had attacked a nation on NATO's eastern flank, Russia would wait to see how the military alliance would respond. Although Ukraine's NATO allies have been supporting Volodymyr Zelensky's armed forces with powerful military hardware, missiles and billions of pounds in funds, the idea of sending troops to Ukraine has been taboo At a meeting in Prague on Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said, 'Poland does not plan to send its troops to Ukraine.'
