Russia invaded its border neighbor to take it over, of course the war is going to spread to the invader’s side of that border, it isn’t a safe space where supplies and troops are safe until needed.
Russia is invading, they aren’t being attacked by someone trying to take them over.
“Russia is invading, they aren’t being attacked by someone trying to take them over.“
And what would have happened if we invaded Cuba back in the day?
Morality doesn’t matter here. It never has in this sphere. The only thing that ever mattered here was “What do we think The Russians are gonna do”? “How hard can we push them to get what we want without making them go ballistic”? It was pretty much the same for the Russians “What can we get away with before the Americans redline?” ANYTHING the Russians were pushing for went against peace and freedom but we had to respect all those nukes and we had to respect redlines. So when did THE RUSSIANS become LOLthe russiansLOL? We’re attacking them in their own country. They see that as a redline. And now, ironically, it isn’t strictly nukes we have to worry about they can now attack conventional targets with conventional explosives that are hard or impossible to stop. Yeah we can escalate and they can escalate and then we can escalate….I’d counsel don’t push people past their redline unless you think they’re full of shit or you want to fight.
