Nato is smart. But the economic war is the future.NATO tules out 'no-fly zone' over Ukraine. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO had no intention of entering Ukraine by land or air to stop Russia.
It has been done before and it happened to Iran twice, once after the hostage crisis in 1980 when the US froze 2 trillion dollars of Iranian assets and later after Trump pulled out of the JCPOA and all sanctions on Iran's Central Bank returned immediately and the Europeans followed those unilateral US sanctions as well. Iran didn't collapse. Neither will Russia.Honestly, not likely
The single biggest sanction in this round is the US stop backing Russian Central Bank. It was never done before and it have a very serious implication.
Because US is the world leading reserve currency, which mean Russian Central Bank (Some 600 billions) are going to be majority in US Dollar either in US or in China, those asset is frozen, last time I heard that is 400 billions. Well, this is not that bad, but. EU and UK also have similar sanction, and altogether it is estimated that 75% of Russian Reserve are gone over night, only left with 15% gold and the rest in Yuan. But still this is just the Piggy Bank
The US also taken away Russian Central bank to raise debt. Which mean they cannot even borrow money to prop up their currency, let's say China is willing to break the sanction and help Russia and lend them everything. You are talking about 1.4 trillions dollar a year, every single year. Seriously, would China want to do that is another business, i mean sure, if Russia can give them back similar amount of resource, but there aren't any, the best Russia can offer is oil and gas, which probably not going to cover half the money
Essentially, Russia become a country without currency. I can't even imagine how a country can survive without its currency.
UK who has attacked Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and who gave away Palestine to the Jews have no moral authority to question Russian actions.
Lol You guys are not racist towards black people? Lool Good joke. I'm sure you guys wouldn't mind your women marrying a black man right? Lol
Dude western Europe US much tolerant compared to you guys towards blacks to be honest. In fact, it's also because we have interacted with them for much more longer than you guys as well. So have gotten more used to living with them here and getting use to inter marriages here. Not the case with you guys, in fact I even know a few cases when I was student here in Britain where Pakistani girl was threatened with death by her brothers/family for dating/planning to marry a black guy and "tarnishing " the image/honour of the family by being together with a dirty "nigga/Kala."
Anyway,who I'm I to say what is right or wrong, to each his own . Lol Don't throw stones when you live in an even more fragile glass house.
Anyway, let's get back to the Ukraine's invasion by Russia. Going off topic

Anyway, by the time you paint your target, that's probably like a second before you pull your trigger. so, yeah......
This video tells that all ukrainian claim of destroyed russian vehicle were actually ukrainian lol.
Usually no movement means it is waiting on a massive airstrike.Russians are still not launching an offensive. What they are waiting for?
There are no news of reinforcements, nor movements, just both sides switching to artillery exchanges.
Is it a stalemate now?
