    Yes, no shit. That was the outlook from day 1.

    The Russian Army is largely represented as a bunch of baffoons in the Western media, but it’s still one of the 3 largest armies in the world. Ukraine cannot hold their lines indefinitely, the only way to “win” against an opponent that has multiple times your materiel available is guerilla.

      There’s no win for humanity through war against an opponent that has thousand of nukes. If one of the nuclear reactors in the region would had been seriously damaged you would be curse every cent that went into fueling this war. We are walking on a thin line already.

        If nuclear deterrence actually worked then Russia wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine to begin with. You might as well just hand over all of your rights and bow to your nuclear overlords if you think it entitles them to anything.

          Sadly that’s how it is. North korea has one nuke and that’s enough to scare the world, russia have thousand. I think i misunderstood your comment anyway, if with guerrilla you mean fighting and sabotaging the government than i agree with you, if by guerrilla you are referring to the current conflict then that’s a head to head war and the risk of a nuclear disaster is concrete. Governments stacked nukes on purpose to get in a position of absolute power, you don’t hear much talk about nuclear deterrence because there’s no need for them to unleash this weapon yet.
