[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL at the MAGA trying to stir the pot.[/quote]

Never voted Republican in my life. Masters degree from SAIS and strong believer in NATO. I am gravely concerned at how involved we’re getting with Ukraine.  [/quote]
Sure you are.[/quote]

We’re on the same side. Do you have no concerns with what is happening? [/quote]

DP.

None.

The civilized world is arming Ukraine against a supposed superior force that has invaded their territory, raped their women and shipped their kids off to adoption and retraining centers in Russia.

If anything, we should be doing more. I would hope the second russia is expelled from Crimea, that Ukraine is admitted into NATO so this never happens again.[/quote]

Amen.

OP, for a SAIS grad you seem to know very little about Russia, Ukraine and NATO nor the reality of the current Russian military, which can barely keep tires on its trucks and gas and food flowing to its front line not to mention field any quality troops.  It’s highly questionable whether Putin could execute his nuclear threat for a variety of reasons, and even if he could, he has been made aware that a nuclear attack on Ukraine would be considered an attack on Europe as a whole and would merit a response by NATO, and, although NATO and the US have taken a nuclear response of the table, they have made clear that they would be able to respond with overwhelming conventional force and destroy Russian troops in Ukraine and the entire Black Sea fleet.

FFS, even the Chinese are telling him to cool it with the nuke talk.

If you thought losing the Moskva and a chunk of the Kerch bridge has been humiliating, how do you think Putin will be viewed after that? If noting else, the past 8 months have demonstrated the capability of US and European conventional weapons to make good that threat.

Putin’s nukes only have utility value as an empty threat.

Also, again, as a SAIS grad, you seem to know very little about how this threat has played out, what demarches have been delivered, etc. Try to keep up. [/quote]
