Admiral Rob Bauer, who serves as the principal advisor to NATO’s secretary general, also said that nations supplying weapons to Kyiv have the right to limit their use.

I’d say we’re about to enter the cool zone, but I feel like we’ve been here for a while. Guess we’re entering the cool zone’s cool zone.
Very unlikely. There was a possibility early on that Putin would decide to go out with a fiery bang of glory, but time passed and nothing happened. He might threaten use of nukes, but won’t actually use them for fear of retaliation. The whole fucking point of nuclear weapons was deterrence until the brain-dead US decided to actually use them. One can hope the world learned their lesson.

When? That sounds like a very silly assessment
When he was hiding in a bunker from his own people.

What a pathetic statement. “We’re going to encourage Ukraine to start WW3 and then hand the responsibility to the individual states.”
The moment a US made and supplied missile lands in Moscow, you might just see how.
I can’t believe Ukraine launched an unprovoked full scale invasion of Russia on February 24, 2022. Wait a minute, that’s not quite right is it
The US: This is the most important election of your entire life and if you vote wrong there will never be another election
Also the US: ensures there will never be another election anywhere by starting world war 3
The Russian Army is just removing Nazi influence from the Ukraine, Russian civilians did nothing wrong. No Ukrainian civilians have been killed, it’s all lies from the Nazis.
Yikes. Get out of your bubble dude. We have literal footage of civilian buildings being bombed, filmed by regular people. We have video footage of Russian tanks swerving to intentionally run over cars with people in them.
I know this won’t convince you, but honestly, it’s upsetting that people are like this.

Russia pressed the WW3 button almost 3 years ago. We’re just taking our time getting to the party.
But was this ever a question? The problem was if they can use “gifted” weaponry for this purpose.
By international law they can use weapons supplied by other nations even for long range strikes into Russia yes, to my knowledge it’s just a gentleman’s agreement that they follow the terms of the nation supplying them. Not really a point of contention though as it would be idiotic to violate those terms at risk of not being supplied anymore.
The only point of contention is whether supplying nations should decide to allow strikes into Russia with their equipment because Russia continues to threaten that it would see that as an act of war from the supplying nation. So legally nothing wrong with it but you have to weigh that decision with possibility of starting World War III or a nuclear apocalypse.
Of course they do. That’s what happens when you invade someone, the someone you invade also hits back at you.
In fact this is basically the only way for the war to end. By capturing Russian territory Russia now has a reason to come to negotiations to just call everything off to get their land back.

Ukraine captured land in kursk and this did not cause the Russians to come to the negotiating table, nor signal that they will weaken their demands. In fact, they simply started taking land even faster in Ukraine because Ukraine had committed resources into kursk instead of the front lines.
All it goes to show is that westerners have a complete non-understanding of this war.
Same applies for Palestinians, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam. You’d be totally fine with that.
right? right?
Absolutely! Imperialism is bad when Russia does it, and when American/Israel does it.
Imagine thinking you got Lemmy by suggesting that Vietnam should have counter invaded America
