Because it beats the hell out of escalation and the specter of nuclear exchange.
- Kukumber 4y agoNuclear exchange? Ukraine doesn't have nuclear weapons And it is Russia's neighbor, i doubt Russians want a radioactive cloud above them
- kadoban 4y agoIf Russia is left unchecked, the next targets after Ukraine are even more obviously European, and many of those have nukes or are closer to countries that have nukes than Ukraine is/was.
- Kukumber 4y agoReverse the role, open a map and look at the NATO expansion and US military bases that spread everywhere, full of long range missiles Now, how would you react? specially when they enter in an economy war with you, forcing everyone to comply with their sanctions https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-nato-putin-idUSKBN1K92KA https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-nato-putin-idUSKBN...
- kadoban 4y ago> Reverse the role, open a map and look at the NATO expansion and US military bases that spread everywhere, full of long range missiles NATO is a defensive compact, not a country that's expanding. > full of long range missiles These being long range means it really doesn't matter, right? Russia's government could try not being such shitheads if they want to be left alone. Their current war is just expanding NATO more than anything in decades. Invading your neighbors has a way of driving people away, funny that.
