- sudden_dystopia 4y agoBetter than billions dying in thermo nuclear war cuz that’s where this seems to be heading.
- Zigurd 4y agoThe intermediate steps to where you think this is going would be invasions of the Baltics, other FSU nations, Poland, and Finland. The safest way forward is for Russia to be comprehensively defeated in Ukraine.

- luckylion 4y agoThey would in either case. Give Russia what it wants in Ukraine and it will tell you what parts of Poland it considers theirs and threaten nuclear war as the alternative. The only good news: it'll stop once it reaches its eastern border. You cannot appease a fascist state.

- Traubenfuchs 4y agoThere is this famous tweet that I am unable to find, that essentially says: "If you tell Ukraine to just surrender the parts Russia want, please point to the parts of your country you would surrender if one of your neighboring states attacked your country."

- lawgimenez 4y agoRussia will be dealing with separatists attacks and assassinations for several decades on the occupied territories. For me this is one of the reasons for this new partial mobilization.
- Terretta 4y ago> please point to the parts of your country you would surrender if one of your neighboring states attacked your country Oh, that's fun. Just imagine if Florida was ceded to Cuba.

- vkou 4y agoI think a fair number of people who live in countries divided among factional and/or ethnic lines would actually welcome certain undesirable parts of them splitting off. I know I would cry crocodile tears over Florida ending up as part of Cuba. Or Mexico. They can take Kentucky, too. The problem here is that the war doesn't seem to be about Donbas.
- throwaway290 4y agoYes. And if you tell Ukrainian men and women to fight to their deaths, ask yourself if you would sacrifice own life (or your children's).
- hbn 4y agoNo war AND I can get rid of Quebec? Sounds like a win-win to me!
