    See my other comment.

    Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine after 3 years. They are only a bully to the little guys.

    Europe could easily demolish Russia and their old and tired military. I’m not saying that europe should invade Russia. Ofc not. But this Putin bluff is long gone. And ofc it’s Russia that can end this anytime they want but until they are forced to they won’t. Which bully do you know that returned the lunch money that they stole out of what? Compassion? Just because it’s wrong?

    And you are talking about WW3 but the EU is planning to triple their defence budget in preparation for war, so you tell me who wants WW3

        Russia doesn’t want WW3

        They’d get proper fucked. I mean we all would but they’d have no chance.

        They play that card because it’s the only card they have and because Europe is happy with the status quo

        Trump was trying to fleece Ukraine for parts and Europe did fuck all

          Russia instigates WW3 by invading its neighbor without cause, and then roping in Iran and NK to facilitate said illegal invasion.

          Essentially, they are using MAD as an aggressive doctrine, and that cannot be allowed to stand. Everything Russia does makes WW3 MORE likely.
