You apparently do not comprehend my point. This isn’t about “losing Ukraine” (per se), or Pooty being a tyrant. It is about whether nuclear blackmail succeeds. If it does, well, nothing succeeds like success, and the future has 2 possibilities: Slavery (except for the baddest ass blackmailer who comes out on top), or more likely, some alternate version of the scenario at your link. Probably with a lot more nukes involved if things develop slower rather than faster.
I don’t follow that it’s better to have a nuclear war if it means that’s the price of stopping Putin because we MIGHT have a worse nuclear war later if he gets his way now.
I’d rather avoid a nuclear war now and later.
No the future doesn’t hold 2 possibilities. That is 100% only your opinion:
—Russia is having a massive birth rate decline, could possibly lead to a breakup of Russia, many ethnic groups especially Muslims are growing fast in Russia
—-internal power struggles, could replace the Russia regime
—-Russia may very well stop with Ukraine either absorbed or as a client state, again their population is dropping, they don’t need to expand.
These are only 3 very real possible alternatives to your 2.
No one knows what will happen.
