While I think it is dangerous to close the air space, I doubt WW3 is guaranteed. Russia would probably back down at some point, since they are in a much much weaker spot than they would like.
- skilled 5y agoI don't know much about politics or care even, but I did always assume that Russia has the capability to wipe out Ukraine if it wanted to? Maybe someone who is educated in this can give me a clear answer. (I don't mean nuclear wipeout, I mean in general based on army strength and weaponry.)
- RealityVoid 5y agoThat is what Russia thought as well. But they were surprised by stiff resistance. Even so, Russia still has a massive advantage and will eventually engulf Ukraine, at least that is the consensus among people much smarter than me. The resistance will be fierce and then they will probably get in insurgency mode, so that would be a sink of men and materiel with little to show for.

People on the internet are just getting waaaay ahead of themselves. It's been a week and they haven't conquered the whole country yet so they must be losing the war or something.
- pelasaco 5y agoThe question is how many civilians they are willing to kill, or in another words, how barbaric they are wiling to be. But don't fool yourself. Russia destroyed two major cities in the last 20 years. Grosny and Aleppo. Both, for no reason.
