Ehhh. I highly doubt a world war 3 would break out as it would be the entire nato force against russia, possibly China, but even they questioned russia’s invasion.
If we did get involved,Most likely if anything it will start with drones/aerial vehicles. Risk less casualties, then proceed to if we push russia further back, the geography is quite tough for ground troops, so it would most likely continue aerially.
Russia’s equipment is fairly outdated, look at Ukraine. Russia still hasn’t captured a major city and has suffered more losses than Ukraine has. A turkish ship was attacked by a russian warship, so technically nato can get involved right now if they wanted to.
with the sanctions, freezing of banks, etc. russia’s economy is pretty fucked. I’m fairly certain 1 rouble is worth less than a penny right now… soon their citizens will have enough of it and start riots and stuff, especially with groups like anonymous showing the citizens what is actually going on and not what the government is saying.
Russia bombed some telecommunications towers in Kyiev, however Elon just shipped a mass amounts of something i can’t remember the name of, for ukraine.
TLDR: russia isn’t winning, they would lose a fight 100% against NATO, it most likely wouldn’t be “world war 3”.
