God war sucks.
At some point I find myself almost wishing for terrorism, like sneak a few Ukrainians in over the Suny Oblast area border and blow up commercial buildings at night...
Then I remember that the whole thing breaks if Ukrainians start being as bad as Russia. (Not that it would be as bad as what they have done, but few people would support that)
The whole thing does not break if Ukraine crosses lines that Russia already crosses. Fuck that. Don't allow the conservative aggressors to establish an unfair set of rules. Every rule Russia breaks that goes unenforced should be disregarded by all parties. Ruzzia insists on making rules, make them suffer by their own rules.
Except nuclear powers are not allowed to lose. That's why everyone wants to be a nuclear power and all the nuclear powers don't want any new nuclear powers.
Nuclear powers aren't allowed to lose? Like the American Vietnam war or the first Russian Chechnya war?
