You are so very correct my friend.
If history has shown us anything, it’s that once a dictator gains more power/ territory, he always wants more and there will never be enough.

Yeah let’s just bomb them to hell….no
It has to be fought later when we have technology to shoot down all of those nukes. Right now we do not and can only tamper.
EDIT - you can down vote me all you want kids, but the reality is America will not step in knowing a Nuke can hit our soil. We’re already in a precious location, separated by two bodies of water. But the fact is we do not have a sufficient Iron Dome technology deployed to fight hypersonic nukes.
Don’t be idiots

No one is going to give putin territory over nuke threats. That's just a silly fascist fantasy.
Flatus_Diabolic t1_iu2cozs wrote
It's really not.
NATO, and the US in particular, will do everything they can to support Ukraine from afar and see Russia weakened as a result, but if it comes down to choosing between WW3 or abandoning Ukraine to Russia, nobody's going to pick WW3, which is exactly why Putin won't STFU with all the nuke threats.
He has only two ways out of this clusterfuck:
-
keep fighting a war of attrition and praying his economy holds out while he tries to manipulate public opinion through his troll farms and to interfere in overseas elections to get pro-Russian parties into power so that support Ukraine dwindles. ^*
-
make the Western world believe that you're willing to start WW3 and kill the entire planet, whilst hiding in a bunker and making sure nobody close to you thinks you're that crazy so that they don't assassinate you.
^* if you're American, please don't vote Trump in '24

You used fascist wrong silly kid. The only chance would be if russia steps into nato land
Captain_Dickbutt69 t1_iu2ceqn wrote
Calling him a silly kid makes you look like a complete doink, especially considering his use of the word "fascist" is utterly accurate.
Putin is a fascist dictator. He is making nuclear threats to scare his opponents into submission. Giving in is what he wants us to do which is why we can't.
Stop being a complete doink.

No one is going to give putin land over nuke threats. NATO has made it pretty clear. Putin is still losing and actually backed off his nuke threats again today. He's completely outmatched and there's no way for him to win this war.

Iron Dome was never invented to shoot down ICBMs and it has no chance against Hypersonic missiles. It gets even more difficult now that Hypersonic missiles exist. Hypersonic missiles have a much shallower trajectory. The best time to intercept an ICBM is immediately after launch or as it is on final descent. ICBMs have counter measures and also dummy warheads so all warheads need targeting and destroying. Anyway your main point stands if there was technology to eliminate ICBMs USA. UK and Europe would have ended this war already.

I just had a discussion with someone that thinks Ukraine and the rest of the world should just surrender to Russia so that they don't use WMD's. Lol.

Oh trust me. I tried. There is no reasoning with some people. It was on this very sub as well. They told me they would rather live in a world dominated by Russia than to defend themselves.

Yeah .. sad . The one world government they run from is the one they run to … “rather Russian than democrat” … they think they’ve figured it out … yet don’t see the clear dark money and corruption right in front of them /:

Oh Sure, they will feel that way until it actually happens, and only then will they realize the utter stupidity of their choice.
By then it will be way too late - they will just become grist for the next War.
No thanks.

You're right. Or it could have just been some bitter Republican pretending to be one. Regardless, they are going to be on the wrong side of history..

While all the things you say about Putin are true - he's an absolute piece of shit - no politician or leader in the history of war has ever stood up and said "yeah, I made a bad mistake here and things aren't going well"

Ah yes, the things Putin is known for: showing his true feelings and telling the truth. /s

I don't think narcissists are capable of regretting their own decisions. No matter how bad the results - they always blame them on other people - not themselves.

You're both right.
The Nazis had no chance to win the war by mid-1942, and yet it dragged on for three more years.
Likewise, Russia has already lost the war. And yet, it will drag on well into 2023.

Putin been hitting the Tsars Imperial 1905 reserve of copium again, that why he looks relaxed.
alterom t1_iu3itwi wrote
I'm afraid that resource has been depleted already, so they have to resort to low quality synthetic copium these days, which comes with a high risk of terminal brain damage.

He didn't look too comfortable to me. He looked like a twitchy ferret. Granted that's pretty normal for him but unless he's insane, there's no way he woke up thinking 'man, things are going my way'.
Regrets, maybe none. Worries, he's got a'plenty. Options, he has a few....None of them are good.
SidewaysFancyPrance t1_iu1l73a wrote
Why would he have regrets? He's a psychopath. Nobody has ever expected him to feel regret, remorse, etc. He's in his comfort zone right now which is why he should not be allowed anywhere near real power.

He is a bloodthirsty lunatic egomaniac dictator, of course he shows no remorse for each single action he did in Ukraine.
This only further strenghtens the fact that Russia MUST be stopped, because if no one does anything, Putin's Regime will make thing worse for the whole world.
