They'd do a bit better creating a military based on professionalism and not corruption. Armies that need a buffer zone are admitting they are terrible. The sorry performance the Russian Army in the Ukraine does tend to show the need for a loooong buffer area, perhaps all of Europe....Another thing Russia wants is control of a buffer zone between Europe and the Motherland. Territory they can retreat across, scorching the earth, next time a Napoleon or a Hitler comes knocking.
May be it should readWho are you talking about. English please.
?Sharing a common enemy does't make magically you buddies.
Russia will destroy the world just to subjugate Ukraine?
If they are that crazy then call them on it now before they get more powerful.
Putin is not a mad dog else he would have already been shot.
The people around him do not want to die.
Only takes one to twitch and jerk and seizure though.
There's no WW3 in the offing, much as Putin's fanbois like the term.
Russia is no more a nuclear bully than Pakistan is. There's no value in a weapon you're afraid to use.
What on earth makes you think Russia would instigate nuclear war over Ukraine?
This is just the old right-wing fear-mongering that they sell to their dumbass supporters, the Democrats are flirting with WW3. Russia is no more capable of world war than North Korea is.
Give your head a shake and look around.
By supporting Ukraine like we are doing now. Eventually Putin will fall and Russia will become a European country, but we must keep the pressure on.How?
Well there won't be until it happens.
You actually think Russia is capable of fighting a World War?
What would the sides look like in this 'world' war?

Yes. That change will happen internally. The Russian people are not stupid or suicidal. They have done it before. Hope this time they can make it stick.That's how you take down a man bristling with nukes. Brilliant
Why do you always answer a question with a question?Why would Nato instigate WWIII over Ukraine?
You are the one with your head in the sand. Why do you think nations arm themselves with nukes? Decoration?

There's no NATO involvement in Ukraine and there can't be any. Individual NATO members are free to do what they will but NATO can only get involved if a member nation is attacked in Europe or North America.
What do you think would trigger a nuclear response, and where? If, for example, the British SAS or Royal Marines were to aid Ukraine and engage Russians there, do you reckon Moscow would nuke London?
Russia is not capable of effective conventional warfare, never mind nuclear world war.
Putin will not use nukes in Ukraine because Ukraine will retaliate in kind. To think Ukraine does not have access to nukes is naive. They are most likely Russian made.You are not addressing the nukes problem. You are just wishing them away. Hope is not a strategy. If a man is bristling with nukes, and he has to be taken down as you have called for, then the obvious request is how to destroy or suppress those nukes. To say he should not be expected to use them is strange, to say the least
Yeah, you're Socrates reincarnated.The best answer to a question can also be a question.
Pay attention.From the Russian end the approach of a formidable, nuclear armed alliance amounts to baiting WWIII. Should we just pretend that away?
You're just pretending Russia is a world power that can't be defied.You are just pretending the problem away.

There's no NATO involvement and there can't be any unless Russia attacks a NATO member.

You keep saying Russia when you mean Putin. If Putin goes insane Russia will remove him. Or are you arguing Putin is already insane and Russia is unable to remove him?You keep repeating what Russia will not do as if it's up to you. If you are calling for taking down a man bristling with nukes you have to come up with a plan on how to suppress those nukes. If he chooses to use them what do you do? A plan must grapple with worst case scenario from adversary. Yours hopes the other side is not suicidal.
