I don't even think a no fly zone would be effective. Russia literally borders Ukraine. Instead of air dropping equipment and reinforcements Russia would just send that stuff/troops by land-based means. Which would just extend the length of this conflict without actually pressuring Putin to stop it. The most sure-fire thing a nfz would do is raise tensions on all sides.
but i think Putin is just looking for an excuse for a war, especially pressing that shiny red button
whats your take on ukrainian officials pushing lies to encourage NATO to join the war?
not ok or do they get a pass?

That's a possibility but it's not likely imho. Understanding the Russia-Ukraine-US history with each other removes a lot of the "omg Putin is literally hItLeR
" aspect of this. If you have 15mins peep this

Just found out Putin is presumably under 5'7"
I would bet quite a few posters in this thread are as well
Also I think it should be remembered that when Ukraine gave up its nukes, it was under the condition that Russia and the US would guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty. If the United States lived up to its word we'd already have boots on the ground. Of course, our word is worth less than the paper its written on and the US doesn't want a direct war with Russia sooo
This will be a lesson to other countries to try to get nukes and to never give them up. Also the war has already caused the German military to rebuild. Geopolitics will be changed entirely.

I mean there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I find the measures he takes to disguise his height hilarious. the guy wears lift-shoes lmao

"

Stand on the crashed ruble he bout 5’9

Nah, not really
This isn't something that happened over night nor is it the act of a madman like the media paints it
This is a conflict that has been brewing for a decade now and the end result is the Russian invasion
He would get nothing out of nuclear warfare and as it's currently playing out, he'll get what he wants - occupation of at least a part of Ukraine and probably a buffer zone between those areas and NATO
I really need doom posters itt to stop speaking s*** into existence fr fr
Nah but fr some ppl gotta stop the pointless fearmongering abt nukes
Like unless u got a point to make why u gotta be a doomer abt it just "were all gonna die omg"
On campus there was this guy who kept going on abt and we were w this girl who fled from syria.. she was visually getting more anxious as he kept talking and she even told us all how she was stressing abt it
Shyt had me f***ed up he had to chill smh
Especially for some ppl who rly lived thru it little shyt can em in a f***ed up mindstate and mfs should be more empathetic abt it
Covid curfews f***ed my mom up bc she lived thru a war w somalia.. civil war.. govt repression, for some ppl it brings all those feelings back
Ppl gon be like "oh but it's not as bad as the war going on rn dont play the victim" as if we should all of a sudden keep our empathy limited to one specific group of ppl who are going thru a war rn

Kinda wild Russia is the one invading Ukraine and ending their sovereignty and your biggest insight is how the US didn’t live up to their word.

Facts.
Libya was told to give up their nukes and they wouldn't be tampered with. So they did. Imperials stormed in and murdered Gaddafi and installed an authoritarian puppet dictator.
Ukraine was told to give up their nukes in exchange for a guarantee of sovereignty by the US and Russia. They did, now Russia's invaded and the US are content with sanctions and condemnation.
Iran was told to stop enriching uranium in exchange for a dramatic easing of sanctions. They did, and the next US president renigged on the deal. The following US president is hardlining conditions for reinstating the deal.
Dog s*** is more valuable than our diplomatic promises.
