While the risk of nuclear war might still be relatively low the cost of one occurring is infinite. Because of that most insurance companies refuse to issue “catastrophic” loss insurance coverage, other examples are hurricanes or asteroid strikes.
When you multiply anything infinite loss by even a slight chance the result is unacceptable or impossible to recover losses.
So the total loss of Ukraine is acceptable to even a moderate risk of nuclear war. The collapse of civilization and death of my family are infinite costs.
The loss of Ukraine as a sovereign state is a recoverable loss.
Just tough talk while Biden is still in. We’ll see what goes down after inauguration day.
If Pooty wins, nuclear blackmail will become the way of the world. That’s a 100% certainty of a future nuclear war.
Take your pick.
No, the idea of leaving the breadbasket of Europe in the hands of a government that is willing to launch a nuclear war in order to save face, and is willing to blackmail Europe is a bad idea.
It would be a better idea to restore Ukraine’s nuclear capability to deter the Russians. We should never have talked them into giving up their nukes in the first place.
“The loss of Ukraine as a sovereign state is a recoverable loss.”
Of course, as long as you are not Ukrainian, you idiot.
