[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can all of you people who want war with Russia just go over there and join the fight instead of trying to drag the rest of us into this?[/quote]
For the tenth time, no one is going to be drafted to fight a NATO-Russia conflict. [/quote]

It would take an act of Congress.[/quote]

No one will be drafted because a NATO vs Russia war will quickly escalate to nuclear weapons and we will all be dead. And those that survive will envy the dead.

Why do countries have nuclear war? This board is full of people spouting “Putin is evil” and “Putin is hitler” rhetoric … um, if you believe that maybe DON’T let us blithely walk into war against him?

Or let me put it this way for the people who can’t seem to snap out of their WW2 fantasies …

If Hitler had access to thousands of thermonuclear weapons as he was surrounded and facing imminent defeat in his bunker in Berlin in 1945, what do you think he would have done?

Why risk this insanity?[/quote]
ok so if Putin wants to take over the US I guess we should let him or else he'll nuke the US and we'd be dead. Better to live under Putin's regime than be dead, right?[/quote]

No - we save nuclear weapons ONLY for use as necessary to save the nation from an existential threat. So, if any country launched and invasion of the United States (laughably insane) AND if conventional forces couldn’t stop them, only then would use of nuclear weapons be on the table.

What people need is EMPATHY with Russia. Not sympathy — empathy. Put yourself in their shoes. They are fighting a war on their border. If we push their backs against the wall with overwhelming them by conventional forces — that’s an existential threat to them - that’s precisely when they would use nuclear weapons. The war is way, way, way more important for Russia - it’s existential for them. We should be doing all we can to DEESCALATE this.

Because I really don’t want my family to die for Donbass.

Again, all you people with the overwrought Putin-as-Hitler tropes don’t seem to be asking the obvious question: what would Hitler have done with thousands of thermonuclear weapons? What would he have done if the German state was collapsing and he knew he would soon be killed and all he had to do was push a button and bring the whole temple down like Samson?

Think, people. [/quote]
NATO hasn't been the one escalating this war. NATO hasn't fired a single shot at Russian troops. All they've done is given the Ukrainians the ability to defend themselves better against an invasion.

How, exactly, do you propose NATO de-escalate this situation? Cut off aid to the Ukrainians, and let them die?

What is wrong with you? [/quote]
