Yes, it's better not to use nukes. Just to clarify, the country on it's knees will be the one to use the nukes. They would be neck deep in dead by that point.
I’m in the same space hence the directness, forget the Cuban missile crisis or North Korea, Russia has just started ww3
Germany is going strong again militarily, I believe I was reading about a recent policy change. The rest of NATO is fine with this too, France looks upon Germany as an EU partner and even Poland would like a back stop, WW2 was along time ago. They dumped nordstream2 and are continuing to pay for Russian gas for now, but if Vlad pulls the plug, it's game over right away and no money for Russia as the final sanctions close in.
I seriously hope not. I can still imagine several scenarios that involve slow deescalation. I hope.
I'm hoping for cold war 2 myself...
Deffo troll army this guy
Please expound, I hope you’re right
I can’t really expound. Mine is a non-prophet.
Less frivolously I just do not know. I am as likely to be surprised into yeah! as into oh fuuuck.
Then you’re barking up the wrong tree.
I saw this interview,and this is the catch 22 we find ourselves in confronting Putin,Russian military doctrine includes the 1st use policy of nukes,they call it "escalate to de-escalate," meaning they expect defeat in a all out confrontation w/NATO. It's a well conceived strategy to make the West pause before engaging in any combat vs. Russia,who knows if it's bluff or not,but it certainly doesn't make anyone eager to face off w/Russia. This leaves 2 paths,call Putin and inflict a beat down on his conventional forces and see what goes down or choose not to confront Russia,these 2 choices I don't have a definitive answer for and that is the position the West is in concerning Russian aggression.
the Ukraines want to fight, supporting these may be an option. It's what Putin did for years now with the Separatists. The much I hate proxy-wars but if Russia overruns Kiew, I believe, his intention is to establish a pro-Russia political landscape which will make it very hard for the West to do much of anything to the people of Ukraine. Much alike Belarus situation...
