| SecondWar said: To be clear, it isn't suggested Nato would send troops but some members countries may individually send troops. There could very other concerns though that if their forces are deployed in Ukraine how would they defend against an inevitable Russian response against themselves? |
This would be post-war and assuming a Ukraine victory, in the interval between Ukraine applying to join NATO. Basically it would be a non-NATO security guarantee pact between Ukraine and another country or countries, that we are their allies and if you attack them then we will defend them. I think in that case then the country involved would be on their own.
Like with Taiwan, if China attacked Taiwan then I think America would get involved militarily but I'm not convinced many others in NATO would.
But as we've seen in the past, words are useless, however, assuming Ukraine does win, then Russia wouldn't be in any state to invade Ukraine again for a long time, all they'll be capable of doing is lobbing missiles over the border, in which case it would make it safer to have military stationed in Ukraine and give the illusion that they're protecting Ukraine.
If they would stay and fight after an actual invasion is another question and I'm not convinced they would but I'm also not convinced that Russia would call that bluff either, not if it was multiple countries in the security pact, it would be in effect a smaller scale NATO and we know Russia wouldn't dare attack a NATO country so if this security pact had say; UK, Poland, a few other powerful European countries then it may be enough.
Think it may need America though to really deter Russia.
