I'm astounded you think that. The west will attack Russia, regardless of nukes.
That is why Russia needs to go home and end this tragedy.
Still silly and resolves only one side.
There was no reason this had to happen in the first place.
Agree. Little Z should have counted the cost and negotiated before it began. I think he was paid not to.
It is Russian aggression
War is always the last aggressive response when a nation cannot resolve things peacefully.
“War is always the last aggressive response when a nation cannot resolve things peacefully.”
Or if that nation doesn’t WANT to “resolve things”.
Which was Russia’s position. Putin and Co. saw an opportunity with weak US leadership- Biden had recently signed off on Nordstream 2 and had just been humiliated in Afghanistan. NATO was moribund.
Russian goals were to force Ukraine into puppet status, as was its policy pre-2014. A Belorussia situation.
There is no other side. Putin at this point just wants to hold on to the land he has grabbed. This is uncomplicated aggression.
It’s exactly like Stalin’s aggression vs the Baltics, Finland, Poland and Romania in 1939-1940, under cover of the German war. Opportunistic land-grabbing.
Stalin too had disingenuous propaganda to cover his schemes.
