Russia is already defeated.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. No carpet bombing of cities, no fuel air bombs, no tactical nukes. Up to this point it’s been restrained and surgical. They haven’t taken off the gloves yet. I hope they do not. Read up on the Sino-Soviet border conflict of 1969

Putin will not admit defeat. It’s all or none. He stated that if Russia cannot exist the whole world can not be allowed to survive either.

You think nukes are now to be used when invading neighbors and in common warfare?

You are normalizing nuclear weapons as just another tool for invasion wars?

“ Up to this point it’s been restrained and surgical.”

That’s a lie.

By that standard, the Ukrainians have also been restrained.

Using your reasoning, the Ukrainians can take a significant swath of Russian territory.

They can call it reparations for the holodomor.

No nukes due to fallout that would take out Russian cities. They will use Fuel air vapor bombs are more surgical and nasty in their own right.

Russia doesn’t have working bombers etc and after 7 months still hasn’t got air superiority.

No surgical tactics, just standard Russian slash, rape, burn and run.

A lot of running back to Russia now
