'National security' as a political question has at some point been taken over by emotional lunatics. I don't know what to say really.

With fairness to these "emotional lunatics", their assumption that Russia would be too afraid to attack NATO territories has thus far been proven right.

As long as we are able to quibble about on the internets, ye, we haven't come to lobbing those around yet. Correct. Always a correct argument if it makes ot to the servers. At this point it hasn't happened...

Russia claimed that deep strikes into Russian territory would be crossing a "red line". We shall see; I am nervously excited.

They've said about thirty things are red lines and then not done much.

Very syria of them.. well i guess we shall see a lot of sabotage tomorrow in europe.

does nobody think this will risk nuclear war? Is this really a place we want to risk it? I'm amazed at the comments section here

Better to be dead then to be a slave in russia- which almost always means you will become a slave dragged against your will to the trenches to die in another enslavement campaign. So the choice boils down russia or not russia - and beeing dead either way.

Sounds very emotional.

they need to capture as much Russian soil as they can, and when the orange man and the other clown tell them to freeze the border, Ukraine can say sure, if you insist!

Ukrainians loose soil everyday. I’m not sure what happens in your reality though.

in my reality, they captured a small piece of Kursk - how did it go in yours?

You really think people who are dragged to the trenches by press gangs [1] will "capture soil"? The video is by RFERL, BTW, as Western as it gets. Not "FSB propaganda". [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnw2Abqmu64

they've already liberated a part Kursk from the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

I see the irony, yes.

You need to check the updated maps. And that was SOF folks, who are all dead now.

Unfortunately for Russia, the "Final Warning" strategy has since been translated into English and is therefore ineffective against modern NATO regiments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China's_final_warning

America doesn't negotiate with terrorism, only strategic arms reduction. Russia cannot desire for nuclear war because it cannot be used as a bartering tool; ICBMs are merely an expensive pen for signing their own death warrant.
