Aren’t proxy wars just grand?
And if Putin decides to use tactical nukes in retaliation for UK sent, American made weapons sinking Russian war ships, then what?
“Hmm... Well, sir,we didn’t think they’d do that. Oops.”
I have an idea…the Russians can stop using their ships as missile platforms and go back to port.
Putin, the war monger, needs to get out of Ukraine.
Yes, a tactical nike is one possible response. As is a hostage situation where they threaten to execute in return for each attack, or some retaliation.
There seems to be a strong belief that Ivan will not escalate further, that they will retreat. Up until a two weeks ago, that was a option, but not anymore - thanks to the rash statements of the regime and the imposter on the throne. It is now a fight to the death. The question is, how many civilians will die before there is a settlement??
They don't even need to do that.
Think about all those LNG tankers the Euro-peeings are counting on to replace cheap Russian natgas.
And now think about all the anonymous antitank and antiaircraft missiles the West has been spreading across Ukraine like throwing candy at a parade.
If Urkaine had been given these weapons 5-8 years ago, there is a very good chance that Russia would not even have considered invading.
That would have been a good thing.
Ukraine having them now is better than the alternative - an even greater bully in Russia -— an example for Red China to see how successful they could be in their imperialist intentions.
