While I don't necessarily agree with this statement, it is one of the more cogent arguments I've read here.

Everyone should at least attempt to negotiate from a position of strength. If you don't agree with that, I honestly feel kinda bad for you.

If I were gonna sink a russian mega yacht, I'd come up with a Rube Goldberg type plan involving a homemade submarine, hand powered drill and balloons filled with air to breathe.

Maybe I’ll just paint a giant Z on the side and let the rest take care of itself.

So many armchair warriors oh so eager to drag the US into a shooting war with the Russians.

No downside, right?

Of course there is downside. To every option. Just a matter of calculates risk v benefit

This opinion passes as a cogent argument for you? :roll:

That's the headline.  If you read the actual article, you'll see that the South African president condemned the invasion and resulting violence.  The headline refers to his statement that over expansion of NATO to the east created instability which helped precipitate this crisis.

Risk - all out nuclear holocaust

Reward - the war ends a few months sooner.

The reward is a lot more than that.  It would likely be the difference in who wins and whether or not Putin is contained (not to mention the Ukranian lives saved in the process).

to be clear @ToastJenkinsyou were speaking about the ukraine conducting the counter attacks, not the U.S. ?

I'm pretty sure TJ's been advocating for us to become actively involved.

ok, thought so. just want to be sure @Procusis clear on what that horrible war loving liberal TJ is saying.

Well, not "us” from his perspective. He’s not going to fight Ivan himself, of course. That’ll be someone else getting their limbs blown apart.

I'm not really sure I agree with that.  It depends on how viable you see the risk.  I think the chance Russia goes nuclear is next to zero.

It is literally their doctrine to go nuclear. Not only is it not next to zero, it is probable.
