      It would hardly be a world war. Who would be stupid enough to join on the side of Russia?

        Yes it might happen either way. Still not something to gamble lightheartedly. You think in 1914 anyone thought to escalate into a World War over some crown prince being shot in the Balkans?

        Escalations always have a risk of running out of control quickly.

        It was a mistake not to supply Ukraine with the weapons they needed early on. But as we see now with NK troops, it is considered a major escalation by everyone. Also problem is that at some point war is not about any larger objectives anymore. It boils down to “you killed my comrade, ill kill yours in retaliation”

          Well well well who is the one escalating? It’s Russia, it’s always Russia all the time. Who’s next?

          They will never stop, until they are stopped.
