Russian invasion of Ukraine

Vietnam didn't have nukes, nor did Korea or Afganistan. I promise you, if they had, they would have used it. Everyone believe Putin is mad, but still not mad enough to use nukes if his conventional forces or domestic infrastructure is attacked by NATO as a way of defending Ukraine?

It's so easy to reason that Putin is all in on Ukraine, and will not settle until a military victory or a peace talk where territory is adjusted. We may not like it, but it's the rational outcome.

By asserting a balanced preassure on Russia, not pushing back too hard, it will be a forever stalemate, which slowly kills off Ukraine and Russian population, and eventual NATO helpers. But if pushing too hard with massive NATO forces, they will be nuked by Putin as a response.

Ukraine has shown no ability to fight off Russia, that's the truth, and it's the expected outcome with such a massive opponent. The longer the war lasts, the more drastic plans Putin must make as a response to finish the war. Something bad for Europe will happen then.
What's your solution then?
Stand aside and allow Russia to take the whole of Ukraine?
 
Pete73 is a Russian Bot or a Putin fan boy. Quite sad really.
Assuming it’s not a bot, there are still people who are deferential towards Russia in a way that is wholly unwarranted today. It’s a terrible place to live, is wholly corrupt and autocratic and this campaign has exposed its military as far less effective than previously thought.

These people are akin to City fans still celebrating when we get 40 points because it’s what we did 20 years ago and they can’t seem to break the habit.

This campaign has been terrible for Ukraine but it’s been an absolute disaster for Russia, especially given the way events have turned recently, inside Russia itself in particular. That will be seriously hurting.

It is a nation that doesn’t deserve any respect for the way it treats its own and the way it treats other nations and their people.

We followed appeasement for about 20 years and all it led to was Russia chipping away at a sovereign state again and again. Eventually the rest of Europe had to say enough us enough. And that’s what they did two years ago. For me, the most telling thing was Sweden and Finland wanting to join NATO. That should speak volumes to anyone with any knowledge of European history and geopolitics.

We simply cannot yield.
