    I don’t want another world war either. That’s the point of defending Ukraine. Germany didn’t invade the USA. They started with Austria, Czech, Poland, Denmark, Norway…if NATO existed at this time, at which of these points should NATO have stepped in to defend soil that wasn’t theirs?

    Because the ultimate result was that the war came all the way to the US anyway, and no amount of appeasement was going to satisfy the appetite of an aggressor.

      All this war has shown is that Russia’s fabled military is a joke. They haven’t even been able to defeat their teeny tiny neighbour in how many months?

      Russia isn’t starting a world war because they know they have literally zero chance. If they were to launch a nuke they know that Russia is wiped off the face of the earth in minutes.

      Equating this war to how the Nazis started a war is insanely disingenuous.
