The only trouble there is that Russia is not a superpower. It may have been in the mid 20th century to thought that it was, but it ain't no more. It was the bogey under the bed, now it is just able to fight one country and not lose too badly.

NATO has said they want Ukraine in. NATO are supposed to defend countries from Russia. Ukraine just isn't quite there yet in requirements. If you Nato really cared about Ukraine, I'm certain they could give them a small favour of imtimidating the russians into standing down.
America has though.
To be fair, the Russian powers that be have generally shown a shocking disregard for their own citizens through history
World's changed too much in the space of a few days, that doesn't really matter much anymore. Though I should hope that it reminds the government that there's a consequence for nicking from the public purse.
Theres not going to be a nuclear war.
Well, not by tomorrow anyway, so unfortunately you have to go back to work
Well if the option is for the conflicting border to be closer or further away from Moscow, which option do you think the Russians will take?
Further escalation either means 2 things: a conventional war - which millions will die or a nuclear war.. which means millions will die.
Well that would keep NATO further away from Moscow would it not ? either that or Ukraine promise not to join NATO which would also keep NATO further away from Moscow.
There will always be a tomorrow, you may not be here but tomorrow will still come.
Think he was PM couple of times as well, until he changed the law that allowed him to be president forever.
If you mean 'The issue is that Putin believes sovereign countries in Eastern Europe should not be permitted to make free decisions about their own defence alliances', then yes, that's certainly the issue.
They'll send a delegation.
Well, just because you're certain, doesn't make your analysis any less wrong. As current events of what has actually happened has shown you, so no need for any hypothetical.
NATO is a defensive force to defend its members, no matter what lies Putin puts out or believes.
So has Russia, but we're talking about NATO
See this huge wound in my torso? That's where I split my sides laughing at your comment.
It won't matter because allowing it will just mean Russia will come back in the future asking for the rest of the USSR back citing Slavic nationalism for their rationale.
The only reason any of this is even a problem is because Russia fears democracy.
Then Nato would have an aggressive Russia on their doorstep - and I imagine Poland is at more risk than Russia!
Everything that's reliant on their economy. Which is why this is the ideal time to nuke their economy and inflict so much collateral damage that the entire Russian financial system takes decades to recover.
NATO is basically America, they run the show.
More like - conventional war, millions die then as there's no option they fallback to nuclear and more millions killed but there will nolonger be any warmongering parties.
I know the Chinese have been quiet. They have their own economic abyss they'r'e skilfully attempting to navigate around. If they don't then their own economy will collapse. Hence I suspect they have the means to expand but with the property crash etc I think they're a little more realistic so would take the long slow approach. Trump and Putin have basically put the stopper back in their bottle which must annoy the crap out of them.
No, I agreed that the creation of NATO was partly to do with extending American influence but that's far from the reality that NATO is basically America.
Hence why America has preemptively shot people and NATO hasn't.
