The ball is in Russia's court right now. According to Putin anyone who tries to stop them will provoke a "response never seen in history."

Don’t worry, they won’t. But they should have never let it get to this point in the first place. Personally I think NATO should do something. The only response “never seen in history” that they could possibly give is nuclear war, which would be insane to do over Ukraine. Wouldn’t end too well for Russia.

The only thing more shocking than Putin’s nerve is that people fall for his bluffing continuously. A clear line should have been drawn and he should have been humiliated if he crossed it.

Wait, what?

I had to look this up myself.

https://youtu.be/6LFi1B7kv2Y

According to the video I saw they are saying its tanks moving over the ground churning up dust from the Chernobyl fallout. Of course "they" are often full of it but so far the levels dont seem immediately dangerous. At least not more so than the bombs that are falling. What is your view here J? You think they intentionally used a dirty bomb or something? That would be fairly drastic.

Radiation levels are high but not exceptionally dangerous
What's more worrysome are the very recent as in minutes ago, reports and clips of Topol-M being spotted on the move in Russia.
The lights have gone out in Kyiv as the powerplant has been hit and the streams have supposedly stopped. Seems like they intend on taking the city tonight or tomorrow but I may be wrong

Ukraine is only getting thoughts and prayers. Cutting them off from SWIFT is the very least that should be done, and I can’t imagine Russia didn’t expect it. But the west isn’t even committing to that.

We czechs know well that russians are occupiers. Ask my grandmother who lived through the 1968(she was 15 at the time) invasion of Czechoslovakia. Of course the russians fired on civilians. Actually the casualties were only civilian. The problem were never the russians themselves but their governments which were always poopy. Now this is happening again just a few hundred miles from my home.

As one czech saying goes: se sovětským svazem přišla bída na zem(with the soviet union came misery to earth)

Well both sides have openly said if the other does so much as sneeze in their direction they will consider it an act of war so hypothetically I agree but the real question is are they bluffing and will either side do what they are stating they would do in terms of sanctions, cutting off funds or cyber attacks.

Morphy, Russia is bluffing. They can’t fight a war with NATO or even a few NATO members. They don’t have the strength. They can try cyberattacks, but if the rest of the world messes with them financially, they won’t be able to match it. We can sneeze in their direction all day. The issue is that the Western countries are pretty damn pathetic right now. Germany and Italy seem to care about fossil fuels more than democracy for 40+ million people. The US is so non-interventionist it hurts to watch. What keeps Russia a world power despite its weakness for its size is its audacity.

Well said, if nothing else they are audacious. I wouldnt count anyone out though. Russia may go down but they could do a lot of damage in the process. Especially partnered with China.

Nukes don’t count for much if using them means the end of the world. I doubt they would commit suicide over Ukraine. The goal wouldn’t be to take Russia down, but to expel them from Ukraine.
