@Evanescent 'sooner or later they will exit, by agreement but most likely by force'
So how many of your children will be enlisting to go fight in a trench in Ukraine in order to 'force' Russia out, and when some of them don't come back you can kid yourself that there sacrifice life was worthwhile while you continue to live to a ripe old age. Without any doubt, what is happening to Ukraine is a disaster, but so is what has happened in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Palestine, but we close our eyes to most of the things that go on there The big difference here is that Russia is geopolitical the biggest prize of all, not only because of it's abundant resources, but because those same resources are in China's backyard. NATO expansion eastwards was and still is always about reducing Russian influence and projection. The major miscalculation however has been how much it has driven Russia and China closer. Putin has responded with brutality, but that was always to be expected, I mean he's been threatening a response to NATO expansion for over a decade. Now the west is slowly ratcheting up the pressure on every country in the world to join in a crusade of 'law abiding countries' that will stand up against Russia. China meanwhile watches on the sidelines, happy with it's new Russian relationship, but with a million men at arms also very able gab Siberia and probably more if the west does decide to throw everything against Russia. Lastly, it's all very good saying Russia will never launch a nuke, but when wars start unpredictable things happen. Even if only a handful get through, just think what that would mean to the UK and Europe.
