The world says Russia invading Ukraine threatens global nuclear catastrophe

Alright old man, time for your nap.

He's a "l'etat, c'est moi" type, so probably.

No, it is not the delivery of arms to a defending people that leads to a nuclear catastrophe, but a criminal, unscrupulous regime without morals that would rather use its nuclear weapons before it perishes.

Must be a day ending in "y." Russia is making limp-dicked threats again.

I'd put the chances at way less than 100%. I don't even think it's likely. The country is full of brainwashed morons who actually believe they are a superpower, Ukrainians want to be "liberated", and a whole bunch of obviously false bullshit. The smart ones have either left the country or are silent out of fear. People don't work that way. If you present them with evidence that runs counter to their worldview, they will just double down and dismiss it. Putin will just offer up some alternate reality where the whole war isn't his fault, blame the west and/or something else, prepare for round 2, and the brainwashed masses will eat it up. There is also the issue of no alternatives. Everyone who has any slight chance has blood on their hands with the war.

Putin gets overthrown when the war impacts average Russians ability to support their basic needs, when they can't afford to buy food. Nothing even close to that has happened yet. It may not. But that's what it will take.

Indeed, but that isn't relevant.

Though it really isn't that weird in the post-WW2 era. There's a reason Japan, West Germany, and South Korea aren't all States in the USA.

For those who are dismissing Macron's attempt, know that France helped negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Georgia back in 2008. Anyone who really has the interest of the Ukrainian people at heart would not want this war to prolong.

Putin casts war as a battle for his survival

hope this will bring to the collapse of the coalition.

In a Russian roulette sort of way...

This, and the fact he views all the old Soviet/Tzarist territories as “rightfully” Russia’s. The West stopping him from grabbing Ukraine is seen as a direct attack on Russia because, according to him, Ukraine has no independent culture or history worth respecting. It’s similar to how China views Taiwan. Dude wants to be a new Peter the Great and is mortified at the possibility of failure. His legacy, worldview, AND life are all on the line. I don’t have an ounce sympathy for the bastard.

He's not wrong, this war has put Russia on a course for almost certain collapse, and nothing short of a complete victory offers any chance of diverting that.

If he makes peace or loses and the current projections are a fracturing of their state authority.

Of course never invading would've prevented that.

> they don't want to make the concessions required for Palestinians to accept peace

It is weird to expect the victorious and stronger party to make concessions to achieve a goal that already most benefits the defeated and weaker party.

Here’s my autistic ass thinking he gets great radio reception. Ugh

Germany: they will never guess our password, 1-2-3-4-5

USA: Only an idiot would have that as their password.

Russia: That's amazing, that's the same combination on my luggage.

Why thank you!

France’s macron has deep hate toward USA, he does everything against to undermine US politics, but he knows his country can’t fly outside of the European flock which all of it sides with the US.
