Russia can't do **** about it
We were that cocky about Japan too.
We told ourselves that they couldn't do **** because they needed our oil and steel.
We also told ourselves Germany couldn't do anything about lend lease because they were too busy digging trenches.
That worked out great didn't it.
That kind of cocky thinking and attitude gets u into trouble.
The superiority of a country's military alone cannot curtail escalation if that same country continues to act with impunity.
Escalations happen because one power is a cocky ass and the other power gets tired of that **** and decides the consequences even if that means losing are worth it.
^^alot of research and history supports this^^
Furthermore when the weaker power gets sick of being pushed around it often employs a mutual destruction strategy- "we would rather both of us lose than allow u to win".
You really wanna go there with a nuclear power?
Once again- not saying Putin is good. I am saying the US screwed the pooch in regards to foreign policy here and we are sending **** tons of arms mostly unchecked to a corrupt nation simply because back in 2014 we installed a US friendly corrupt government over there to overthrow the Russian corrupt government and our politicians want to maintain their money laundering playground
That is not a good reason to provoke a war.
They have received enough arms money and training. It's time for them to win or lose on their own merits
