      I'm more worried about brinkmanship and talking themselves into delivering ultimatums all while trying to seem the most hardline in the room by proposing insane solutions and hoping the others will cause sense to prevail.

        I wasn't here three weeks ago. I only came here because of this conflict. Those of us with family and friends in Russia knew it was a possibility.

            Soldiers in DPR forces were saying that Russia would take Kiev, while even Russian communists said at most they'd take the full claimed territory of the Donbas republics. I tended to believe the latter over the former but always understood that not everything DPR folks were saying was bullshit propaganda.

            Either way, it has nothing to do with the willingness of the western Bourgeoisie to completely annihilate society and relegate themselves to a life underground in luxury bunkers. There was never a chance that invading Ukraine would result in global annihilation. War between NATO and Russia would though, because it's an existential threat to Russia.
