    Russia isn’t going to risk the world launching a dozen nukes at them just so they can launch one at Ukraine.

      As much as that makes sense and everyone probably agrees … then why are western nations hedging their bets that the other side won’t launch a missile, even as they escalate the fighting.

      That is Russian Roulette on a global level if you ask me.

        The problem is really alternatives. Give into Russias demands and they will do the same again soon. It will also send a message to China for example and make war more likely in the long run.

        What kind of peace agreement would you see possible?

        Btw if you’re interested on the topic of the risk of nuclear war related to Ukraine there’s a good video by Lonerbox in which he also explains the logic of the side you’re arguing with here in more detail.
