    I don’t care how you feel about the conflict but

    NATO: Escalates by giving and allowing Ukraine to strike Russia with longer range missiles

    Russia: Retaliates

    NATO:

      Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t realize the rules were that the defending country had to stay on their side of the line. So Russia can invade neighbors with impunity, but striking Russian soil is just too far.

      Stop.

        I’m confused from where you are drawing that I said that

        It’s more that NATO shouldn’t be (and isn’t really) surprised.

        I never said or implied what actions they should or shouldn’t take or anything. Where are y’all getting this?

          You’re shifting the framing to “NATO is escalating the conflict.” Motherfucker, Russia can deescalate any time by leaving. Why is the onus on everyone else to not cross any red lines?

            I mean it’s definitely not a statement of right or wrong to suggest that taking a new, further step is an escalation above the previous situation.

        I don’t understand how saying NATO shouldn’t be surprised at this outcome makes my comment somehow pro-russia in any way

            I mean it seems pretty logical to me?

            One side takes a step they so far haven’t in a war, the other responds. It’s not surprising. This isn’t a statement that’s pro- either side here.

      Lol, interesting way to frame it. Let’s zoom out a bit…

      Russia: Starts it

      Ukraine: Fights back

      Russia: surprised Pikachu

      Russia: Escalates

      Ukraine’s allies: Supports Ukraine

      Russia: Arms on hips guy

      If you hit someone, dont be surprised when they hit back. Russia can always go home. They are escalating every day they stay. Ukraine needs to be more armed then maybe russia gets the message.

      You’re right, I think that Nato should start sending over some soldiers to “help” out the Ukrainians, the way that the Russians have brought in North Koreans.

      That’s very naive to think they wonder about it. There is even a threat of a nuclear strike.

      What they do is to plan the next steps.

      In my opinion NATO should prepare for war.

        No, NATO wants escalation I understand that. This was the outcome they wanted.

          NATO wants Russia to fuck off back home, thanks.

      Retaliated.

      With the freshly made prototype.

      Sure. I’ll believe that when a Rooster wakes me up by name instead of declaring war on the sun.
