...& whoever thought it would get this far ? You do realize that those 4 partially conquered oblasts are now considered by the entire Russian government' & the Russian people, to be part of Russia again, like Crimea. It might be in violation of international law & upend the international order --- ok, what are we gonna do about it ? Do you wanna play the escalation game to wrest that territory back from Russia ? How far are you willing to go ?a fan wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 12:13 pmYou want to use logic? Ok.old salt wrote: ↑Sun Oct 09, 2022 11:53 am1914 is calling.

End the war & get them to the table.
In what world would Xi green light the use of tactical nukes in Asia? In case you've forgotten? Russia ain't the only team with nukes in the area.
What happens to stability of the entire region if they get the green light for these nuclear howitzers while conducting offensive operations?
Again, a steak dinner says Xi told Putin he can't do that. And Biden has the intel on this. And Putin knows that all the key players will stop trade with him if he does this....until he's gone, at the very least.
And again, where is he going to hit that won't harm Russia?
Putin has to go rogue (not use logic, and say "F it"). And so does his military that's shooting the thing. And after watching how incompetent and poorly maintained the Russian military is....if you're a Russian general, how sure are you that the weapon will work?
THAT is logic.
Excuse me, but you've been telling me for how many years now that Putin would not & could not do the things he has done already.
In 1914, war was inevitable because the great powers began to mobilize & once they did, each was afraid to back down. Deja vu ?
