    Again, NATO’s only purposes are to defend its member countries if any of them gets directly attacked or very exceptionally to enforce UN Security Council Resolutions. That narrow scope creates some issues but it’s also a big factor in avoiding a nuclear war.

    Pretending that NATO is or should be more than that is only helping Putin.

        What happens if Russian air defenses or jet fires on the F35? Does NATO fire back? Where to stop? Moscow? There’s no way that Russia wouldn’t use nukes in that scenario.

        Maybe a limited operation where Russia’s air defenses couldn’t reach would be possible, but so close to the front is not going to happen unless Russia does something stupid like attacking NATO directly.
