    In two years, the EU will wish it had attacked Russia now.

    Russia is prepping for an EU push that will likely happen in the next two years. To prevent the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, the EU should attack now, before Russia has the assets they need and while they are distracted in Ukraine and at home.

        There is already a front in Ukraine. Not attacking that front is allowing this to escalate. That front is where the fighting needs to happen to keep the war on Russian soil.

        Financial support for Ukranians on that front is helpful, but not enough to stop it. Assaulting the Russian forces on that front is what is needed.

        This is the war. It’s already in progress. It is coming for the rest of Europe. Not fighting now will make this much more deadly and destructive when the front is moved to the EU in 2025 and 2026.

          No need. We just have to give Ukraine the proper support and they can easily beat Russia. But for some reason they’re only given like 1% of western defence budgets.

              So how many lifes is this moral stance of your worth? What about people close you, how many of them will you sacrifice to stop Putin?

                None. Putin is bluffing. His nukes are 50 years old and have been maintained by black market scalpers for the entirety of their existence. Not a single one is capable of making it to a target and detonating.

                Putin is a conservative. He only knows how to lie and manipulate others. He is lying about his nuclear capability just as he lied about his military capability.

                  Even without nuclear capacity we are talking about millions of people dying in conventional war. Also you have a rather unbiased view of the situation, don’t even try to reflect on it.
