Putin would have never invaded a NATO country.

Feels like until 5AM local this morning we all thought he'd never do a full invasion of Ukraine either...

But in general I'd agree with you. On the other hand, who and literally what army would stop them?

Among several others, the United States military. Which, contrary to claims made elsewhere in this thread, is a pretty formidable defensive force. In fact, it even has aircraft carriers that can move under their own power.

Yeah, Biden vowed to defend ‘Every Inch’ of NATO Territory. Any Russian soldier unfortunate to step onto NATO soil is going to get obliterated by the US military.

NATO is much more powerful than Russia, furthermore NATO has nuclear capabilities, you just don't invade a country that has nukes.

There is not a single chance that Russia would have touch a NATO country, it's a war they could not win.
