    Fuck off. Russia considers itself at war with the democratic world. It’s long overdue the democratic world responds in the only way Russia recognizes: brute force.

    If that means active engagement from NATO or even individual nations like Poland or France, then so be it.

      I believe the war Russia is fighting against NATO has so far not killed a single NATO soldier, but thousands of Russians. If this is the war Russia wants to fight with NATO, NATO would be stupid not to keep it going. At this point the Soviet era weapon stockpiles are nearly empty, they need to buy shells from North Korea, the Russian economy is pretty much a full on war economy, which means collapse as soon as the war ends, while Russia debt auction run into serious problems and the sovereign wealth fund is running empty.

      The only thing the West needs to do is to keep sending aid to Ukraine for another two years or so. That will kill Putin’s Russia. It might even happen earlier.

        It would hardly be a world war. Who would be stupid enough to join on the side of Russia?

            I’m betting my family that we have to stop russia or it will just be worse. I’m also betting like the civilised world for the exact same reason, demilitarise and denuclerise russia or we’ll all be sorry.
