Russia could start a major war in Europe within 5 years, Danish intelligence warns – POLITICO

And a never ending insurgency?

Anyone insane enough to start a nuclear war may decide that absorbing a hundred or so nukes isn’t so bad when they have hundreds of Cold War era bunkers and thousands of their own nukes.
Russian bureaucrats may think that about the rest of the population, but fortunately even they are not dumb enough to believe in having safety in those bunkers (time passes, things rot, materials decay).
So Russia really using nukes is for a situation where somebody making decisions believes there will be no retaliation.
Considering that throwing your friends and allies to the wolves has become a really common thing in modern world, just like plainly disregarding any kind of agreements or international laws or moral principles, I think such a situation is possible.
And with the cucked way France's foreign policy seems to work recently, and with the too realpolitik-style UK foreign policy, one might imagine a situation where both are not very active.
Also bureaucrats of various countries are class brothers. A bureaucrat, even a German or a French one, understands Putin and Xi better than somebody democratically elected. And Germany is traditionally (last 30 years I mean) friendly with Russia.
No conclusion.

Depends on the perspective. Tu Putin it's not a problem, for him people are expandable and cheap. You just write some laws and they grow again in his view. As the land grab is forever.
Your and mine views are non-dictatorish and as such don't apply to Russian imperialism. -
Would you like to tell the whole class how US is responsible for Putty bombing civilians?
-
I think Russia is well aware that if they go to war with the EU, China will backdoor them hard.

Time to start working on my Swedish more...

Hey, it's just a quick special military operation to Kyiv, in and out in three days!
IIRC there was talk after it went south that the yes-men around Putin had made him believe that not only would Ukraine not fight back, but the people would join the Russian troops in celebration for being "liberated" and help them.

Obviously the headline should have said "special military operation."

The French strategy with nuclear bombs is not to wipe a country out of a map, but wiping out Moscow and Saint Petersburg (or New York and Washington DC for a USan example). The message is that you can kill us, but we will make sure that you are definitely crippled
