while there is some room for nuances here, I disagree with your statement.
There is a "right" side for your interests and as a nation state there is always the risk/reward part of this equation.
Also, in the day and age we live in, history is written by many different players and you have to decide what part of history's story you want to be written in..

Agreed - "History is written by the victors" has truth behind it, but is becoming increasingly hackneyed as information becomes easier and easier to access.

Is there a reason for the misspelling of Putin’s names?
You sound like the dipshits who say “libtard” or “dimocrat.”

Swiss don't want to lose those oligarch accounts...
From Reuters....
The Swiss government has rejected Denmark’s request to send 20 Piranha III infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine, Swiss broadcaster SRF reported. Denmark needs Switzerland’s agreement because they were produced there, and Switzerland bans the export of Swiss-made weapons to conflict zones due to its neutral status. Earlier Switzerland also rejected the supplies of weapons from Germany and Poland to Ukraine.

So when will Ukraine receive the MLRS rockets? This will be a game changer in the East because no Russian troops will be safe no matter their distance from the front lines. They’ll probably begin to quit the battle in massive numbers.

While this may help Ukraine it may also be the justification Putin uses to escalate to all out war with the west. I fear the dumbass in chief is about to kick the hornets nest by sending those rockets.

When this Ukraine special operation is over and Russia knows a bit more about western capability, do you think Russia will be content to stay with the borders they have?

DoD just confirmed 4 HIMAR systems to Ukraine - this is described as the initial tranche.
They are providing guided munitions (GMLRS) with a range of 70 km.
They are prepositioned in Europe and will require approximately 3 weeks training.

Your concern is duly noted. Your bias and lack of maturity is also noted.

What's Putin going to do, send those T-62's that Russia had to pull out of storage because of so many frontline battle tanks have been destroyed and then send them toward Poland? "Don't kick the hornet's nest". LOL

Your fearmongering over WWIII is well known. No need to harp on it after each successive post.

What good is a deterrence weapon if no one knows about it?

Never underestimate a desperate opponent. Russia may not be able to win conventionally but they still have enough icbms with nuclear warheads to plunge the world into all out nuclear war. If he is dying and backed into a corner the threat of mutual destruction is all the weaker and he is more likely to do something illogical. Biden’s handlers seem to be itching for a world wide conflict. Also don’t overlook the chicoms things get spicier over Ukraine it may be the distraction they need to move on Taiwan.

I don't think Russia or China want a nuclear war. Just let the Ukrainians deal with Russia the best way they can with the arms they can get.
