Obviously, we’re never going to agree on this… but, consider, if you will, that the thing about a war with a nuclear powered opponent is that if you’re losing, you have no incentive, zero, not to launch.

The only way he’s demilitarising Nato is by Ukraine expending all the things that go bang (that NATO countries sent them) in the general direction of the Russian army.
Have Turkey and Hungary had the screws turned on them with the Sweden and Finland applications yet?

I very much consider it.
but, consider, if you will, that you advocate perpetually caving to nuclear blackmail yet we will still end up in a shooting war with Russia eventually.

All things considered, I thought it was odd for Zelensky to refer to BoJo as the kind of leader the world needs. Brexit happened in part because of Russian interference. The UK government hasn’t even bothered investigating that possibility.

I don’t recall ever having advocated for caving to nuclear blackmail. In fact, I’d argue that I regularly engage in the exact opposite. I advocate for giving the Ukrainians, for example, every bit of maximally lethal tech we have in our arsenal, (short of nuclear arms), in ever increasing quantities, until the Russians beg for an end to the war. And, every time Putin, or Russian State TV says “nuclear”, I’d offer the Ukkies training on weapons that will take months for them to learn, like F35 fighters; I’d start lending them Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers. The meat grinding doesn’t stop until Putin pulls whatever’s left of his arm out of the hopper.

Since they are aligned in ideology and tactics, I would say both.

You basically do every time you bring up the threat of nuclear weapons as some sort of argument against those of us who argue that we stop this middle-man shit and destroy every piece of equipment Russia’s military that is outside Russia’s borders.

It’s a tragedy that we can’t just agree that in the 21st Century wars of aggression and conquest ought to be illegal. They are a violation of the United Nations Charter. This is what everybody was supposed to learn from the 20th Century.
Yes, I know the USA illegally occupied Iraq in 2003 and suffered no sanctions. That’s probably why Putin thinks he can get away with invading Ukraine. Which was a friendly neighboring country until Russia attacked in 2014.

I’m not convinced at this point that the shambolic Russian Army could indefinitely expand into a vacant K-Mart.
Doddering old fascist fool surrounded by a cadre of useless kleptocratic yes-men. He could declare it to be October, and in the span of a week he’d get so many drooling congratulations from his inner circle that he’d come to believe it.

No. It ain’t.
Cite your credentials for this prediction.

“Putin Suggests Russia Is Entering A Period Of Indefinite Expansion.”
Here’s hoping whatever cancer this blood-soaked butcher’s trying to keep secret begins “a period of indefinite expansion”.

Orban is a cheerleader in this dispute. He’s ok with ‘the North’ joining NATO, but being sympathetic to Turkey is because of Erdogan.
Turkey’s a problem, but ‘the North’ have defense pacts with UK n USA.
Now two of those agreements might be useless in 2025, but ‘America’.
