M1 Tanks on the way to Ukraine. All out war. I do see how Putin will not directly attack the U.S.

To prevent nuclear war we all, citizens of democratic states, have to stop our governments from escalating it further by changing our governments with all means. If we dont do it, they will escalate to ww3 and we all die. Is it clear?

Early intervention against Hitler 1.0 in 1939 could have saved tens of millions of lives. Do we really want to sit back and allow Hitler 2.0 to follow in the same footsteps? Since 1991, Russia has invaded Georgia, Moldova, Chechnia (twice), Caucasus, Ukraine (twice), Syria, and a few others. If Putin is not stopped, Putin will not stop.

Remaining a NATO member, means assured destruction in case of a nuclear
war between USA and Russia which is far more likely to happen than it
was prior the war in Ukraine. Whoever does not mind absorbing a good
part of Russia´s nuclear power instead of USA´s cities is praised(by
USA) for remaining a NATO member. Cornering Putin and his Russia is
becoming a gamble we should not practise at all, if we did not want to
be dying in a horrible, horrible way and in a huge, huge numbers. This
would finish states involved as we know them.

The current situation just shows how much of a third rate power Russia really is. the USSR was a terrifying force and was efficient at that. the Russian Federal Army is joke.

Everyday i see youtube videos and clips witg reports of ukraine forces starting to push russians back in some regions and slightly winning. Everyone probably thinks thats good. But well I don't think so because the more they lose the more likely putin might use the nuklear option to end it and make ukrain kneel.

you are pretend to be neutal but in fact you theory is full ignorant idea and have no idea of putin's purpose.The Gray zone Channel is much deeper and well informed knowledge than your superficial narrative. The nazis in Ukraine must be terminated.

It has never been a disagreement about borders. It is so far from reality, that it's amazing in it's own right.
@paxdriver
February 25, 2024 at 12:33 pm
Putin doesn't have much logical incentive to take things this far either, that's the problem. We can't rely on logic or reason when Putin is forcing kids to murder their neighbouring countrymen without a political mechanism to stop the insanity. The combattants are even victims, like North Korea and Israel

February 25, 2024 at 12:33 pm
My money is on an at least small scale nuke being used by Putin, in his old age he's become less & less sane to use logic to predict him.

do your research,i wont say putin isn't going to nuke but if he did what was the war for,war is all about resources and man power..i dont doubt he will nuke once nato touches ukraine..but even if the russians did nuke ukraine no one will be able to point to them especially the us
@happyguy8725
February 25, 2024 at 12:33 pm
I will narrow it down to one reason this will go nuclear. If Putin loses, because he is a bitch

Norvichok Pootin is a leader who got his brain stuck in the 18th century,unlike Britain once used to rule the world is now smaller as twice the size of Ukraine and has three governments. On the contrary Pootin and his cronies want to restore the Great Russians Federation and also to secure his corrupted autocratic power for as long as he can.He is out of steps with rhythm of world in the 21st century. He careless about humanities, we have seen enough destruction and genocide in Syria as well as in Ukraine. In Syria he encouraged Assad to use chemicals bomb against his own people, in Russia Pootin himself is using chemical agents to poison anyone against him such as Navalny and others,for the world he is threatening by using nursing nuclear weapons. He is not even afraid of killing his own brothers and sisters in Ukraine, who speak and share the same culture and language.
Solution: All we need is a numbers of people who dare to sacrifice their lives to go to Russia and stop him in the head, when he comes out in the public places. This would save the world from nuclear war and unimaginable suffering and pain that we have seen enough of it.
Freedom must be defended at all costs.
Freedom is the apple of our eyes without it the universe is meaningless.

What are u talking about the war has been started by Russia in 2014 on the east of Ukraine. There was no peace during that period.

February 25, 2024 at 12:33 pm
With this i got a feeling that its not Putin who is in charge and someone is beind him or something like this
And the war will scalate for sure
So we have to find who is beind him giving the orders and why and how its working
Probably im really wrong but it feels like i have seen this somewhere or saw something like this ( dont remember where or when )
Anyway we need to be prepared

You skipped something.
"Things really started to heat up in 2019, when the USA massively increased its shipment of advanced weapons to Ukraine, to be used in its fight to reannex Crimea and the independent Republics. Then things got even hotter in 2021…"

TYRANT PUTIN’S BLOODLUST HAS RUINED RUSSIA’S CLAIM TO SUPERPOWER STATUS. His mighty (?) army has been beaten to a standstill by a much smaller and less well-armed Ukrainian force and he’s begged for help from China, Syria, and Belarus. Many nations call him a war criminal and Russia is now a pariah nation!

It really matters how long it goes if it goes. Dictators thrive on their image of power. If they look weak then the people will likely rebel. The longer the war goes on the weaker he gets and if long enough not even the Russian media can stop Russians in questioning Purim’s authority. Once we Reach this point Putin would likely take the chances and use Weapons of mass destruction. Because by that point it’s either that or you lose your power.
@Artsplore

I have noticed multiple sources reporting and agreeing that there is a strong belief in the Kremlin that they can win a nuclear war, if they strike first. Not much different sentiment than believing they will take over Ukraine in 3 days or less. Their faith in fantasy outcomes seems to remain strong.

Frankly, I think that the nuclear option is unlikely because it would be suicidal. It might happen, but still, Putin knows that it would be suicidal.
