Before that happened I could not even rationally imagine a major European nation will be invaded, and to a great extent overrun, in 2022 and the world would just say - “Tough luck. We feel bad. And yes of course we condemn it. Please let us know if we could be of any help. I am sure better things are waiting for you after this”. This is the specialty of China and Russia. Keep pushing the buttons, keep testing the limits. One inch at a time, one border at a time and then, well, push a little more. People proclaiming ‘an attack on Poland will go nuclear’ are probably blissfully choosing to ignore that nuclear war is mutual destruction without discrimination and with a sense of finality.
