the russians always accuse the west of escalating the conflict, but then they are the ones actually pulling other countries soldiers into their hopeless war. this is what really escalates it. maybe to WW3 level. it’s time to conquer and split russia, so they can’t do any more damage, like Germany after WW2.
Your bravado is dumb and reckless as fuck. Cornering a sociopath like Putin is exactly what will start a nuclear war; when his dictatorship is collapsing around him and he has nothing else to lose, but still controls the chain of command. A nuclear war with Russia, even if most of their nukes fail, will still result in tens of millions dying, as a best case scenario.
Like it or not, nukes mean we can only really contain those dictators within their borders and try to turn their people against them. The best case scenario is that less extreme generals overthrow him, but history has taught us (especially Russian history) that is unlikely. When he dies, maybe someone less megalomaniacal will take over.
I mean fight them back to their borders obviously, but apparently the average on Lemmy is thick, slow, and ignorant, so I’ll spell it out for you… Once the goal is to “conquer” a nuclear armed dictator, you run the risk of cornering a sociopath who has nothing else to lose and is likely to murder everyone if they can’t have it all.
Dictator = sociopath. Nuclear war = psycho. Everyone die. Triggering nuclear war = dumb cunt… Get it?
Ah yes, the poor “cornered” invader. No amount of insults is going to save your position. You’re enabling Russia with such rhetoric and everyone sees it.

Have you been under a rock this whole time? Russia is already beyond their own borders.
also, Ukraine already crossed the russian border in multiple locatins into the Khursk region and not a single nuke was fired.

Limp dick appeasement is how we got here …
But sure nukes 🤡
I think the West as a collective should at least stop being so passive and draw some red lines itself.
