I guess, I'm certainly biased due to my education and what experiences i made in my life.
I also think, that I'm good in logical thinking, so I can detect gaps and inconsistencies. (this is what often triggers, what I described as "allergic")
I want to find real truth (not everyone wants that, i suppose) and I have a certain sense for justice, which is based on humanitarian/ethical worldview.
I hope, you also question yourself?
Thank you for your honest answer.
Considering your fear of WW3 in Europe - NATO and US clearly declared they condemn the invasion but will remain neutral and only direct attack by russia on NATO will lead adequate response (Article 5). russia of course understands that, and considering
a) it's already 1 months anniversary of their "3 day invasion according to plan";
b) 90% of russian army is in Ukraine and are busy holding the front (no significant advances past week or two, need reinforcement but they cant mobilize due to "special military operation" and not war);
c) no allies - 60% Belarus troops do not want to go to war with Ukraine, Kazakhstan - 0 support and complete silence, China - passive, trying to sit on both chairs with russia and US, for them weak or strong russia is a win/win situation.
any escalation is physically impossible and will be a quick finish of the aggressor.
Please let me know if your opinion differs on any of these subject.
I wasn't aware on the troops distribution.
I don't fear any nuclear escalation currently. but I'm also not sure how stubborn each party will be in the future. It seems to be a climate, where everybody has a very short patience window.
And why does Zelensky ask for direct NATO support, if that would mean more escalation. Or do I understand something wrong here?
