I didn’t read that comment as implying war was easy or okay. How’d you get that impression?

    the NATO/EU/US may decide to become directly involved in the war

    After their involvement, I doubt they'd do nothing if some of their soldiers get shredded by a Russian bomb. Let's imagine Russia is beaten and it's on the brink of complet defeat. Do you really not expect them to send nuclear warheads everywhere before collapsing as an ultimate fuck you ? 10% of the warheads are enough to turn earth into a post apocalyptic wasteland.

    Same goes the other way around, and given that Russia is in a stronger position than the west, that's the scenario we should really be talking about. What happens when NATO gets shredded by Russia the same way their Ukrainian proxy. Will NATO just pack up and go home or escalate to use of nuclear weapons. Incidentally, US intentionally keeps an open posture on this.

    Russia used to be that powerful, but not today. It will put a decent fight but I doubt it'll be able to deal against so many powerful military foes.
