The future commander of the Estonian Defense Forces: The war must be able to be taken to Russian territory
Oof that’s not a great idea. Protecting sovereignty is a hard enough sell internationally. Selling an invasion isn’t something the international community is really showing an interest in right now.
They just mean weapons should be used to strike targets in Russia, not an invasion.
Ukraine is already doing that. Though in a small scale.
The issue is escalating where Russia feels the need to use nukes. That is a no win for everyone.
Yeah they won’t be using nukes regardless of how the west “escalates”. They can leave Ukraine and end this whenever they want.
I’m not so sure if that. Putin is dying or so the stories go. He may escalate to nuked at some point.
I agree, putin is looking to glorify his accomplishments as “president”. I think the moment he wants to use nukes his ersatz administration will be forced to pull the plug. Hopefully he dies as humiliatingly as all fascists deserve to die.
I’m hoping his people pull the plug. I’m actually surprised they haven’t done it yet.
The average Russian doesn’t want nuclear war anymore than anyone else.
Historically the Russians have showed constraint with nuclear weapons. I hope that continues.
Agreed, the people of Russia deserve better.

Two fundamental beliefs that run right through Russian history.:
1, Suffering is inevitable, and must be accepted.
2. A strongman leader is always best, even if he does terrible things to us.
The Tsar has to go because he was not a strongman. Stalin was idolised because he was, not because they expected 'better.'
