"NATO countries will have to send soldiers to Ukraine, otherwise they will accept a catastrophic defeat” - US State Department consultant E. Luttwak--To The Brink--And Beyond! - by Mark Wauck

His article argues that NATO needs to insert its forces into Ukraine to—and this is the counterintuitive part—avoid a catastrophic defeat...

"...Luttwak, for those unfamiliar with him, is a pretty typical Neocon...He is said to advise the State Department, which should come as no surprise...
Anyway, here’s a sample of responses to the article:

A few points: They will suffer an even *MORE* "catastrophic" defeat if they send people, for obvious reasons.
All NATO combined can muster maybe 100-200k men at most. Russia has an entire NEW 500k man army already waiting for them outside of Ukraine, and hundreds of thousands of more reserves (counting conscripts, national guard, and many others--at least 300-400k in total) that are already trained and ready and can come in at any time if need be...

And, of course, the most important point, as I see it, is that: even if 200k NATO combat effectives could be assembled in Ukraine, they could NOT be equipped and sustained for anything approximating "high-intensity warfare"...
