If the Russians had given NATO personnel the green light, that would have been a mistake that would have to be corrected. NATO is significantly involved in this war both as an sole initiator and as a multi-participant. Any NATO soldier or officer – soldier or mercenary – who sets foot on Ukrainian soil must be treated as the scum they are and attacked without hesitation. NATO started this bloody war and must therefore pay a heavy price. – kKEETON…
