    'we have to do something, we have to stop Putin' my dad was going off, to which I said we all die in nuclear hellfire when that happens.

    how do these boomers not get it? you never shut the fuck up with cold war takes, but forget Russia literally has like one of the biggest nuclear arsenals in the fucking world. don't fuck with the guy with all the god damn nukes maybe??

      Every person I know in my daily life except y'all thinks removing Putin from power would be a matter of sending a few thousand American troops into Moscow and finishing the entire conflict within a month or two. Everyone is convinced the American military can accomplish any goal and that Putin has no support in Russia beyond brainwashed and intimidated servants. They're absolutely certain Russia would simply fold under pressure despite the past 20 years of failed American conflicts

      They want a nuclear war to happen. Their lives are almost over, and wowie, what an ending it would be if the whole world goes out when they do, just like the movie :so-true:

      We actually can do something. Stop supporting Ukraine and tell it to surrender and put down the arms. But then pUtIn WiNs, as if he wasn't? Fighting back is at best prolonging the inevitable and at worst putting your people directly in the crosshairs and creating a massive humanitarian disaster.

        watching the BBC while we ate, all you hear about is horrific Russian rockets and shelling, and then glorious Ukrainian counter attacks. they never show maps though, and they never say numbers about how much land has been taken in what attack. just there has been 'counter attacks in the south stalling Putin. does this mean a stalemate???'

        But then pUtIn WiNs, as if he wasn’t? Fighting back is at best prolonging the inevitable and at worst putting your people directly in the crosshairs and creating a massive humanitarian disaster.

        A mugging analogy on :reddit-logo: as an attempted illustration of this not being a moral issue, but an extremely practical one. Hilarity ensues.

      oh, the horrors that have been unleashed on this earth because a Western power had to "do something"

        maybe we do not gotta do something you know? maybe we can sit this one out and say "I didn't see nothin" if anybody asks what happened to Ukraine. sometimes keeping your head down in tensions between nuclear powers, is a good thing

          This whole mess is literally a direct result of the U.S. "doing something". Has been all along. Yes, if the U.S. stopped "doing something", it would probably resolve itself in pretty short order. Even now.

      my dad is in his 60s, like this is a guy who lived through more or less most of the cold war, and especially the part where nukes were the mega big end of the world no no thing
