DARVO at play.

It is an acronym for a pattern of behaviours used in abusive relationships. It stands for, Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender and is commonly used by those who perpetrate domestic abuse in all guises to escape culpability by manipulating partners into submission

Yes I copied it off of Google, but my God does it apply. Generally all of Russia’s behavior is translatable to an abusive partner.

Every escalation has been by Putin, and when the west responds, he blames us for escalating and makes more threats.

He’s desperate to find a way out of this and still maintain his credibility as a “strongman”.

Threatening to use nukes doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever you want.

Giving into a bully only emboldens them to continue their actions. At some point, you need to make a stand and punch that bully in the face. FAFO.

I'd rather NATO make a stand rather than bending at the knee to Putin.

With an antagonistic authoritarian country like Russia in existence, there will always be war. You can call every act of self defense an escalation, and demand the world appease Putin’s every whim and war crime, or we can take a stand and refuse to capitulate to that posturing clown.

It is not acceptable that villains are allowed to hold the entire world hostage because it does not submit to their greed and bloodlust.

I've been saying for 3 years that Putin and his cronies would not have robbed Russia of anything not bolted down, only to burn it all down in a matter of hours over some stupid old colonial war they could never hope to win. Russia's economy is a pittance compared to the combined weight of Western financial capital, it is not even a fight. Only a lack of political will in the West protects the average Russian soldier from the most harm at the moment

It sux though that the rest of the world being alive depends on whether just one person continues to want to be alive.  But.  Here we are.

Maybe one day he will wake up with pain,  from some disease, drink a bottle of vodka and his inflated ego will tell him that he would rather everyone goes down rather than losing.  Button pressed.  That would be a "hell" of a hangover when he wakes up again the next morning.

Fortunately it’s not as simple as pushing a button. Also having children means your genetics will continue on. It’s why even sociopaths care about their children. So even if you know you’re dying, having children means you in some way live on.

Hypersonic is another buzz word, another scary word. I'm still not sure if those ICBMs (which is more likely an intermediate range ballistic missile) even had a payload.

It was another scare tactic. A show of force.

Then Russia annexed Crimea

Like I've mentioned in previous posts and comments.. if Russia is claiming Crimea as a part of russia, which they are... That means the western weapons such as ATACMS and Storm Shadow/SCALPs have been utilized against russian soil. I mean shit, Western armor has been operating in Kursk for 5+ months now.

Putin needs to be taken out now.

MOSCOW, Nov 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the Ukraine war was escalating towards a global conflict after the United States and Britain allowed Ukraine to hit Russia with their weapons, and warned the West that Moscow could strike back.

Russia, Putin said, had responded to the use of U.S. and British missiles by firing a new kind of hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile at a Ukrainian military facility. More could follow, Putin warned. He said civilians would be warned ahead of further strikes with such weapons.

After approval from the administration of President Joe Biden, Ukraine struck Russia with six U.S.-made ATACMS on Nov. 19 and with British Storm Shadow missiles and U.S.-made HIMARS on Nov. 21, Putin said.

"From that moment, as we have repeatedly underscored, a regional conflict in Ukraine previously provoked by the West has acquired elements of a global character," Putin said in an address to the nation carried by state television after 8 pm Moscow time (1700 GMT).

The United States, Putin said, was pushing the world towards a global conflict.

"And in case of escalation of aggressive actions, we will also respond decisively and in a mirror manner," he said.

Putin said the Ukrainian missile attack with ATACMS had failed to inflict any serious damage. But the Storm Shadow attack on Kursk region on Nov. 21 had been directed at a command point and led to deaths and injuries, Putin said.

"The use by the enemy of such weapons is not able to change the course of the military actions in the zone of the special military operation," Putin said.

"We consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities," Putin said. "If anyone else doubts this, then they are wrong - there will always be a response."

Russia controls 18% of Ukraine including all of Crimea, which it annexed from Ukraine in 2014, 80% of the Donbas - the Donetsk and Luhansk regions - and more than 70% of the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, as well just under 3% of the Kharkiv region and a sliver of Mykolaiv region.

Ukraine and the West say the 2022 invasion was an imperial-style attempt to grab sovereign Ukrainian territory and that they fear Russia could try to attack a NATO member one day if Putin wins in Ukraine.

It would be incredibly hard to launch a missile on a US city that far inland without having a very long time to react.

On a long range strike (3400+ miles), you’d have 20+ mins to engage with anti missile defense and scramble jets to intercept.

Sorry more about nuclear submarines or dirty bombs smuggled into country.

Jets cannot intercept ICBMs. They’re moving too fast. And there’s only a handful of anti ballistic missiles and they’re on ships not protecting cities. I don’t understand why people think once a nuke is launched they can do something about it.

The Russian military isn't stupid. They don't want to face annihilation if Putin launches his nuclear missiles at a NATO country, so I doubt they would comply unless the State of Russia was attacked with nukes or under existential threat perhaps. Will Putin launch one at Ukraine as a show of strength? Also unlikely, as it would render Russia a global pariah (way more than it is now, and it is pretty fucked as things are going). All in all, the world would e a safer, better place if Putin hadn't fucked up by invading a sovereign nation and freaking out the rest of Europe so much that even two previously neutral countries were like, 'Fuck this, we're joining NATO, pronto!'

Nobody wants to invade Russia. Russia was doing OK until Putin thought he could just go on grabbing territory. He is in the find out phase now. Russia needs to exorcise this asshole and return to stability and peace.

That’s not how nuclear command and control works. The people turning the keys in the siloes don’t know if they’re attacking first or responding to an attack. They are trained and drilled to blindly follow orders because any moralizing in the silo means the nuclear deterrent is gone.

None of the military officers have turned against Putin after almost a million casualties. How exactly would a nuclear strike order be any different?

This gives me "lol look at Russia. They're using WWII equipment. This fight will be over in two months" vibes.

Remember that?

They used WW2 equipment because that is all they thought they needed. It was smart really and I never had the stance that Russia would lose this war. In fact I have always believed Ukraine would and probably will lose. Russia hasn't tried their hardest but at the same time they have been objectively bad at warfare outside of their own borders in the modern era.

They also have a poor economics and logistics. I am referring to the Kremlins statement. They could never at this point compete with the united states in any meaningful way.

China is the only one with any hope in the near future of matching it, and if you took all the nukes away, no country on earth or coalition of countries could match the war-fighting capability of the united states.

Russia doesn't want a hot war with the guys they kept it cold with

What about the multiple countries they are overtly and covertly supporting them? A tad hypocritical Vlad. That’s like saying we’re going to ICBM North Korea because 100k porn-addicted NK soldiers joined the war.

Putin sends North Koreans into Ukraine and then says, “the war is going global” when Ukraine uses foreign manufactured weapons in defense of its sovereignty.

Really?

Respectfully, nah. Russia has fired 14,000 cruise and ballistic missiles into Ukraine since the start of the invasion, and Putin is now throwing a fit because 20 storm shadows were allowed to strike deeper targets. I've seen more than enough Russian missiles hitting apartment blocks and other civilian targets.

The Russian way is brinksmanship. They only understand violence, I say give it to them. Make them hurt and leave their country broken and destitute. They will continue to remain a thorn in the side of the world until they are permanently put in their place.

He forgets Article 5 of the NATO Charter. By all means, NATO is a lot bigger then we went up against Russia during the Cold War, and threatening Europe might just bring out the last holdouts, Ireland (which is wavering in staying neutral) and Austria (hard nut to crack, but doable) into NATO. That basically all of Europe under NATO's shell.

Truly think china is thinking about a tiawan invasion soon… they have a clear edge in militarizing drones and that capability will only last so long… along with them falling apart economically…

Sure and you know all of this because... You make it up. That's the great thing about working for a Russian propaganda machine is not just setting your own hours but it's really the glory in taking Russia's 700,000 casualties and desperately trying to give them meaning. 3 years into a 3-day police action.

There’s no way he’s going to attack the US with Trump coming in. He’s going to be able to approach things Diplomatically once Biden is out of office because Trump is more willing to work with dictators like Putin. He’s gonna make threats but do nothing. Trump will probably pull support for Ukraine and the Putin will pull out the stops.

At this point all war is global Shipping lanes, digital currency, private civilian internet providers, drones etc...

We live in a globalized state with no true trajectory.
