I feel like I'm alone in perceiving this as a bad thing. Ukraine will never win this war because Russia will just throw warm biddies in the front lines like they always have. And if something like this does end up making an impact they can fall back on nuclear weapons and then we're all dead.
What am I missing here?
So... just always give Putin whatever he wants anytime he wants without limit?
Perhaps you're missing the end result of applying your logic everywhere. For instance, in place of Europe, there would be Nazi Germany, still existing, and looking forward to actually being a thousand-year reich.
I don't see any way this logic could work without the world turning into fascist hellholes.
The nazis didn’t have an arsenal of atomic bombs that can kill everyone on earth.
I'm feeling some unease at the thought that having atomic bombs allows conquering nations without consequences.
Why would exactly this change lead to a nuclear war???? The 45 other times, it did not either.
Russia isn't gonna nuke us. At most he'll nuke Ukraine. Nuking Ukraine will not lead to western countries nuking Russia, but if russia nukes a nato country, they're dead too.
Nuking Ukraine would cause a world war.
uh, MAD? russia isn't going to use strategic nuclear weapons.
