    Maybe the US shouldn't have made such an obvious and stupid choice to escalate the conflict by allowing Ukraine to use their weapons?

      Maybe Iran and North Korea shouldn't have made such an obvious and stupid choice to escalate the conflict by allowing Russia to use their weapons?

        Iran and the DPRK are in no position to allow Russia to do anything.

          North Korea could not have been forced to use their troops to attack Ukraine if Kim Jong Un did not want them too. Iran I'm guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.

            You people talk like you think you're at the strategy table in game of thrones, and not one of us mud-covered peasants. I'm willing to bet you know less than nothing about the causes of this war and the dynamics between it's participants.

            Iran I'm guessing did not care which hospital their weapons landed in.

            Naked projection, your side has been bombing hospitals for a year in Palestine and a century everywhere else.

            Truly brilliant. Also there is no evidence the DPRK is deploying troops to attack Ukraine.

                Show it then? It would be much more effective than “yes there is.”

        Regardless of this, I do not think we should escalate things with a nuclear power.

          Serious question here, but how exactly do you think the world should deal with a dictator armed with nukes? Capitulate at every single threat?

            I don’t know how the world should deal with Biden, truly. Russia is not the power that is issuing threats. NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade. Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers.

            We should pick our battles. Do you want to get nuked for Ukraine of all places?

                yeah we lost 90% of the world's population from global nuclear hellfire and the resulting fallout, but for a brief moment there we really showed Putin who's boss!!

                You do understand this is circular logic right? Why should Russia capitulate to every US or NATO threat?
