    I feel like NATO officially joining the war is even less likely than Russia expanding to share its borders with Italy. NATO likes that war is happening, since that means there is money to be made, but they don’t want to actually get officially involved.

      Member of the SSBN force here. I’d love to join the war. Give me a good reason to set condition 1SQ for Strategic Launch. Come on. Give it to me. I’ve been training for this for years. Tell me to flip the switch.

        Im not speaking on individual members, which Im sure a lot feel the same as you.

        But, don’t you think if NATO really wanted to get involved officially, they already would have?

          There’s getting involved “officially”, and then there’s getting involved in practice. There’s a very thin and blurry line there that may not actually exist. Did you think at the outset of this war that we’d be sending F-16s and Abrams tanks to Ukraine by late 2023?
