>West has no means to put more pressure on Russia
This is simply false. West can send more arms, more tanks (US sent 31 old Abrams tanks since 2022) more long range missiles. You know how easy it is to defend Ukrainian cities against airborne cruise missiles? Bomb few airbases used by strategic bombers. Bomb few factories used for ballistic missiles production.
If west bite putin's bluff about WWIII then west can transfer technology and give Ukrainians money to make long range ballistic missiles themselves.
And sanctions! West can put a real sanctions. A trade blockade of Baltic and Black sea will destroy their economy pretty soon.
The are so many things west can do.
But US president is a friend of putin and going to bully Ukraine to surrender on Russian terms.

- ponector 2y agoIt is a bluff putin is continuously repeating. Because he knows western countries are eager to bite. Look: at this moment Ukraine is using western arms to occupy part of Russia. What putin did? Same as before occupation. Strategic bombings of oil refineries - no changes in putin actions. This is actually the only language Russians understand: strong actions to show power.
- xkcd1963 2y agoI disagree with you on all points provided.
- amai 2y agoFullscale mobilisation would lead to fullscale disintegration of Russia. That is why the price for soldiers is so high in Russia.
- xkcd1963 2y agoRussia is not disintegrating under any circumstance, it will always remain, not only because it is a nuclear power.
