Are you talking about this report. My understanding was this report was talking about preventing initial incursions from Russian troops. Is that what you meant? I thougth you were talking about NATO going toe to toe with Russia in a full scale conflict which Russia would 100% lose even with esculation to a nuclear conflict.
Putins hardcore but I dont think bullying Ukraine from joining NATO is worth turning Russia into a radiation wasteland. He cant win against NATO.
There would be no winners in a nuclear conflict. The whole planet would be turned into a nuclear wasteland.
I agree... but your over simplifying.
There would no winners in a nuclear conflict - but Russia would be the clear loser as every non-Chinese nuclear power would nuke the crap out of them to save themselves. Russia is strong but they isnt strong enough to take on the entire rest of the world and they cant turn the entire planet into a nuclear wasteland just by themselves. US also has a defense system ready if things got that bad.
So... for this conflict that takes nuclear warfare off the table - its not important enough to escalate to that point. Well see Russia trying to manufacture reasons to invade - like saying they were attacked when they absolutely werent.
We can all agree now that you were very wrong about it just being political theatre - its a very serious situation and Putin is playing a very dangerous game right now
Nuclear fall out respects no borders. The massive levels of fall out from a nuclear war would poison every one on the planet. Every country would be the loser not just Russia. Do you not get it: a nuclear war would be the end of humanity?
It still is political theatre used by Biden to divert attention from his lamentable poll ratings.
The Minsk peace accords of 2014/15 placed an onus on Ukraine to carry out a series of political/military measures, which it has steadfastly refused to implement. Instead it has waged war on Russian speakers in the Donbass.
Ukraine is no democracy. Opposition politicians are in jail, numerous political parties are banned, journalists/newspapers closed down, never mind the numerous atrocities committed by neo-Nazi military units such as the Azhov battalion and the Odessa massacre of May 2014. In Ukraine the state allows and encourages the open celebration of war criminals from WW2 such as Stepan Bandera. The US/NATO have armed the Kiev junta to the teeth and encourage it to keep shelling civilians settlements in Donetsk and Lugansk. Don't take my word for it. You should read the daily reports produced by the OSCE which clearly reveal that the majority of shelling is coming from the Ukrainian army.
Your clearly falling for Russian propaganda. So you think Russia should be invading Ukraine right now? You think a war killing civilians is the right answer?
