    Is anyone, anywhere in the West afraid of this happening?

    It might just be time to shut them the fuck up for good.

      I’m slightly worried about the really big guns russia supposedly have, but only slightly. At this point, it’s not like there’s a big red “launch” button on putin’s desk; it’d have to go through a few people that may have the actual big picture in their mind.

        We bought those people off decades ago, all their yachts, townhouses and other decent shit is as far from Russia as possible.

        But if they see they can back us down and let them invade a country by waving nukes, they will be greatly encouraged to do so again, the cost/benefit ratio is far too high, they’re getting something for literally nothing.

        This is exactly how world wars start.

      You corner a rat they will do anything to survive. You want all out war with Russia and to roll the dice on Putin launching the nukes?

        BTW, they really so desperate to survive?

        GO THE FUCK HOME!!!

        Staying in Ukraine is just begging for everyone else to revisit all the genocides they’ve inflicted on others, like Armenia, Ukraine, poles, the list is endless.

        I think a lot of those people would love to lay hands-on Russian citizens right now, for old times sake.

        It’s so delicious to watch karma unfold in real time to someone who so deserves it.

        This is like a man trying to defend murder by saying you were just trying to rape her but she resisted.

        If the alternative to “the nukes” is “gets steamrolled the old fashioned way” anyway, it’s not really an alternative.

        They are a rat, I’m not afraid of a rat, we are going to stomp this rat’s head into mush.

        The rat can hiss and threaten all it wants, it went too far and there is no alternative, we put up with the rat shitting all over us for far too long.
