State Department consultant Edward Luttwak says that NATO countries will have to send soldiers to Ukraine or “accept catastrophic defeat,” and that Britain and France are already making preparations to do so.
Luttwak is a military strategy expert and has served as a consultant to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Council, the Department of State and the US Army.
In an article for Unherd, Luttwak warns that Ukraine’s 800,000 active personnel figure is too low to be successful in a war against Russia and that the country will continue “losing soldiers in the process who cannot be replaced” without major support.
“This arithmetic of this is inescapable: Nato countries will soon have to send soldiers to Ukraine, or else accept catastrophic defeat,” writes Luttwak.
Apparently, it’s already in process.
“The British and French, along with the Nordic countries, are already quietly preparing to send troops — both small elite units and logistics and support personnel — who can remain far from the front. The latter could play an essential role by releasing their Ukrainians counterparts for retraining in combat roles. Nato units could also relieve Ukrainians currently tied up in the recovery and repair of damaged equipment, and could take over the technical parts of existing training programmes for new recruits,” according to the author.
It goes without saying that if NATO escalates its direct involvement in a war against Russia, Moscow could conceivably choose to attack other NATO countries, something that may spark World War III.
“If Europe cannot provide enough troops, Russia will prevail on the battlefield, and even if diplomacy successfully intervenes to avoid a complete debacle, Russian military power will have victoriously returned to Central Europe,” asserts Luttwak.
Noting that the US can only provide 40,000 troops who are already in Europe, Luttwak warns that if Russia wins the war, Europe would have to resort to “the return of compulsory military service” to prevent further territorial expansion.
As we highlighted yesterday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky just signed a new law that lowers the age of conscription in Ukraine from 27 to 25 ahead of an upcoming Russia summer offensive.
The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now over 40 years of age, the same as Russia, underscoring how the whole conflict has been a devastating bloodbath for both sides.
Shocking videos have emerged showing mentally disabled people on the front lines of the war being mocked by other Ukrainian soldiers.
Back in December, Michael Maloof, a former Pentagon official, said that the war in Ukraine is effectively “over” because Kiev’s counter-offensive has failed and there is no appetite in America to continue funding it.

Luttwak? Try Lotwhack. He is shilling a direct path to WW3, and Global Armageddon. Ukraine cannot win a total victory against Russia, ever, which is the only victory that Zelensky and his ‘Western’ handlers are interested in, they want the very areas Russia is holding most, especially Crimea, no matter what the cost to native Ukrainians and other available cannon-fodder., and no matter how thin the real claim to them otherwise. All attempts to ‘defeat’ Russia even in its minimal position can end only one way: thermonuclear war, because no Russian regime, Putin or other, will accept it, or can afford to, as it would spell the likely end of Russia itself as a power and unified nation, even viable state. ‘Western’ NAZIO-clowns think they can make Russia blink and back down first, never going to happen, Russia can take and dish out punishment beyond the worst nightmares of aforesaid circus-grade performers, and will, if pushed far enough. ‘Fvck you Neo-Nazi Satan-Sauros scum!’ will be the last thing they will hear as Russian hypersonics detonate in ‘rainbow’ splendor, and ‘Dr Strangelove’ comes true in all its deathorgasmic glory…
Much worse than ‘catastrophic defeat’ will be such a catastrophic ‘victory’.
I really hope european NPCs who cheered so much for this war will be thrown in a military bus up to the front line now that their OWN country will send troops. I guess they wont find war funny anymore now that they must risk their lives for biden in the name of degeneracy.
Major war is part of the globalists plan for depopulation.
They will do whatever they can to protect their satanic pedophile asses.
Also they want to eliminate 7.5 billion of us.
I for one and very good with the abolishment of All globalist institutions and imprisoning all members of WEF and the UN for that matter.
It’s they who will be Eliminated. Eternally, Most Assuredly.
They will force WW3 on us.
It’s the CIA’s war, let them fight it.
What I want to know is where are the women of Ukraine? In WW2 women, in large numbers, took over the behind the lines duties ostensibly to free up more men for combat duties. Even delivering some of the weapons they made into combat zones. I recall seeing a video of some female member of Ukraine’s government shown brandishing an actual “assault rifle” and bragging about how she would go into the streets to fight the Russians should it come to that. Of course she knew full well she would never have to fulfill that boast since she would be evacuated long before that happened. So it was easy for her to say. Still, why aren’t women filling many of the roles the NATO personnel would be? Not all, of course but many of them. They should have been trained long ago for that role. Not to mention already be doing it. The smaller the number of people NATO sends, the less tension there will be.
Lot of ukrainian women fled the country. You can find them on apps like Tinder in any european country (while their cuck ukrainian boyfriends fight in the war).
It’s the (white) men they want gone, the women (and children) will be the booty, along with the land and its resources. At least in theory, thermonuke fallout will render all somewhat moot.

You just made Sauros ejaculate.
A defeat for who? This war has made many rich including the mansion hoarder Zelensky. Were the American people asked their opinion, have the priorities of US citizens ever considered? It has been and continues to be a catastrophe for US taxpayers.
For those who believe the US has some super weapons that will lay waste to the Russian military you have not paid attention. Do you know what is killing Ukrainian’s? Artillery and rocket fire both of which have been around for many many decades. The US and Europe have exhausted their arsenal. So if Western boots land in Ukraine they will be unprotected. They will go to die. Russia is fighting from its border, their supply lines are short. Where were the US borders before Democrats erased them for political gain?
Your children’s children will be paying off the money Biden is printing so his friends get rich. All the while the US infrastructure rots.
The US/UK/NATO thought Russia would be easily defeated with superior Western weapons and tactics and that is not happening… They are considering boots on the ground to save face and protect their corrupt business and partners. They have had boots on the ground since the second month of this war, so now they announce it because the “boots on the ground” escalating body count would be hard to hide from the people. The US/UK/NATO are not on a war footing, Russia has been on a war footing for some time, patiently learning Western tactics, and learning how to defeat Western weapons. NATO and its friends are doomed to failure. A retired Polish general said Ukraine is running out of people, 10 million are missing. He thinks that instead of 100s of thousands of KIA, there could be over a million dead. Now the people who started/financed this war are going to send warm bodies to protect their investments… Russia will not lose, Ukraine will cease to exist if Ukraine doesn’t come to the bargaining table with Russia. Hungary & Romania both have laid claim to parts of the Ukraine if Russia prevails and takes the majority of Ukraine. Romania even said they would recover their territory that is currently occupied by Ukraine even if it cost them NATO membership.. If NATO put boots on the ground, that would make every NATO ship worldwide fair game. Was is war, the rules of engagement are clear, are you ready for WWIII? Are you ready for Nukes to fly???
Well said sir. NAZIO clowns are on a death-dance like none since Adolf, the question is, are they ready to die for their fun?
take the L
That would be to assume NATO is a rational actor. This is what they’ve been pushing us towards for three decades.
We may not remember this from over 100 years ago (because the victors write the history), but it was the French who managed to light the fires of WWI by knowingly lying to their ally, Russia, that Germany was mobilizing for war. This forced the Russians to mobilize, and that forced Germany to assume France would quickly follow their ally in mobilizing, too, meaning Germany then mobilized.
Point is, if NATO wants war with Russia, they will find a way to justify it and make it happen. The French wanted revenge so they dug millions of graves in trying to get it. NATO is digging, too. They want Russia gone – at any price apparently.
The outbreak of that war and all that followed was certainly manipulated in various ways, by those who sought to profit from mass-slaughter. And it is the same in this case, except that this time, nuclear winter is the very real risk.
Be aware that in WWII Russian losses were 40% more than Germany’s. Russians won that war. And yet NATO wants to go to Russia to fight Russians.
You left out a zero.
I’d imagine if I were in the US military, I would definitely be considering retirement or a civilian career right about now.
“The average age of a Ukrainian soldier is now over 40 years of age, the same as Russia”….I’ll guarantee, the average age of the Russian soldiers is NOT over 40.
It isn’t!
It’s about 25!
The Foreign Nazis have wanted war with Russia ever since the Russians kicked them out of Russia in the 80s!
The Foreign Nazis and their Slaves are going to get their butts handed to them in a fruit bowl if they tangle with the Bear!
Queers, Fatties and foreign drug dealers are no match for SOLDIERS!
GOD BLESS PUTIN AND RUSSIA!
