      They would get dealt with just as Russia dealt with the western-trained 47th mechanized brigade full of NATO hardware using stupid western tactics. They got shredded to pieces together with their commander.

        Fortunately or unfortunately, a destabilized Russia would not be safer for the world than a stable Russia.

        Well, to be precise, it could lead to war with Russia. I doubt that would spill over to the whole world.

        That prospect is terrifying enough given Russia’s nuclear weapons, so I’m definitely not arguing that “this is fine”.

        I just think we need to be precise. Russia is not the Soviet Union - they don’t have 50 proxy states around the world.

        That could lead to WW3.

        Only very briefly.

        You have to leave the precedent that the peace of Europe will be preserved, that’s how we made it the last 80 years without a world war.
