It appears that our PM thinks Putin and Russia are bluffing in their threat to use nuclear weapons if NATO continues to provide military aid to Ukraine:
What makes Boris Johnson so sure Vladimir Putin is bluffing over his nuclear threats to UK? I fear they're real, writes STEPHEN GLOVER
If NATO insists on bringing about the defeat of Russia on the most humiliating terms, it risks making a second error that could be calamitous for the West – in threatening nuclear retaliation, Putin and Lavrov almost certainly mean what they say, writes Stephen Glover in the Mail.
So, I was thinking, how about a little straw poll among subscribers to this thread. With this in mind, which of these two statements best reflects your views:
A) BoJo, NATO and the west must take Putin's threats seriously and do everything possible to end the conflict - not ramp it up. The dispute between Russia and Ukraine is not our war; Ukraine is not part of NATO (cough) and I'm not prepared to die trying to protect it.
B) Putin must be stopped at any cost from gaining (further) control of Ukraine, even if it results in nuclear war which kills me, my family and friends. That's a risk I'm willing to take as it's preferable to turn the world into a nuclear wasteland rather than have Putin claiming even the smallest of victories.
Needless to say, position A best reflects where I'm at. How about you: A or B?
Tim.
Oh definitely A.
US and West have initiated this war bringing about the special intervention and escalation into war.
Bullies will continue to do what they do until they get pushback. I think Russia has been passive against the many threats to national interest and now we are seeing a more aggressive Russia.
It will not stop with Ukraine either imo, but will continue. AND yes Russia will start supporting other factions friendly to it and push-back on anti-Russian sentiment just as the US and Zelensky have done in Ukraine with pro-Russian civilians.
I always think the US will be the US but very disappointed with the EU just blindly following the US in a knee jerk reaction. They need to see that US always fights proxy wars 000s of miles away from her borders. Ukraine is on our borders and EU life will be impacted big time.
Is it not obvious that the US meddles all over the world. They've done with the ME and now looking at what damage they can do with peaceful and prosperous Europe.
