You don't oppose someone recklessly gambling mass death by recklessly gambling mass death yourself, you just call their bluffs and maintain clear no-go lines.

- option 2y agoWhat do you do when those lines are crossed? Like they have been repeatedly.
- aardvarkr 2y agoWhat do you think maintains those no-go lines? The threat of recklessly gambling mass death if those lines are crossed
- jaapz 2y agoThere is a wikipedia page with a list of NATO "red lines" crossed by putin, look it up It's a catch-22 anyway. NATO still really wants to de-escalate, but by allowing Putin to cross these red lines they show weakness to a person who values strength. However if they react violently to a crossed red line, they might trigger EU-wide or worldwide war (not necessarily nuclear). I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of NATO leaders right now
