The west is not about to risk all-out war, they have too much to lose. They have Russia isolated from energy supplies to Europe and they have the Europeans ashoodwinked into buying American/Saudi supplies at 4 times the price. The longer this situation lasts the better for them. It is in their interest to keep Ukraine bleeding as long as possible. They don't care what happens to the Ukrainians.
Well, because Ukraine is not going to stop attacking areas controlled by Russia, especially the collective West continue giving Zelensky more and more offensive weapons. At one point it will reach a boiling point and then tactical nuclear weapons could be used.
You mean Ukraine will not stop defending themselves.
Ruzzia invaded Ukraine territory. The onus is on Ruzzia withdrawing.
If Ruzzia use a nuclear weapon, it will be to their detriment. They will be a Pariah for the next 50 years. It can't be compared to Japan at all. The Allies then were only seeking a Japanese surrender to end WW2 and did not want to invade Japan. So this was the only way.
In Ukraine's case, a tactical nuclear weapon will only give Ukrainians more resolve to fight on for the liberation of their territory. And, Ruzzia will be risking a proportional response from US and NATO - in my opinion, once nuclear weapons are used, there is no reason for NATO to not mobilize and enter Ukraine with boots on the ground and declare a total no fly zone over Ukraine. NATO will need to mobilize the most advance Air Defence Systems at their disposal.
Pootin said he was not bluffing.
Let's see if he has the balls.
In the meantime, Ukraine will fight and fight and fight till it is liberated. They are entitled to do that as defenders of their nation. They are breaking no laws and they have all of us behind them. If they don't fight, there will be another attack on Ukraine in 2, 3, 5, or 8 years time. So suck it up.
You guys are in an alternative reality and seem to think you can change the goal posts. With the changing goal posts, Turkey of course is well entitled to hold a referendum in North Cyprus, rig the vote and annex half the island. In fact, that is EXACTLY what we would deserve if Cypriots support this alternative reality of Ruzzia, but the vast majority of Cypriots do NOT have the same thinking that seems to be prevalent on this forum, so Cyprus doesn't deserve this at all. It is in fact illegal, not just in Cyprus' case, but also for Ukraine and all countries as well. And Cyprus has been very wise in its stance on Ukraine, and it has been noted by the Americans I am sure, which is why the Americans want to lift all arms embargoes on Cyprus and help Cyprus as much as possible. What this means I am not sure. But the Americans are very fair, and see Cyprus giving up their T-80s to Ukraine, and the Americans actually want to replace these tanks, even free of charge so as to not disadvantage the RoC and CNG at all. This is of course the American mindset. If the Americans can't supply M1A1, then they will speak to France about supplying LeClerc which I believe is just as good if not even better.
Pootin will not stop until it consumes many countries. But that is assuming Pootin survives which I don't think he will.
