My response
1) yea they’re a declining country but if Russia nuked, let’s say Krakow, would the west risk it all for that?
2) China and India have Russia’s back, that is clear to see. Ten years ago their oppo would be enough but these are major players now.
3) it doesn’t take too much for it to escalate into nuclear war. Trump is a moron. He will give the go ahead for Ukraine to use US cruise missiles to hit Russia. Russia will respond with oreshnik then tactical nukes.
4) thank god, I hope so, then this misery will be all over.
