damned if we, damned if we dont. We help out Ukraine more or get fully involved, Russia threatens nukes and might be crazy/desperate enough to use one.
if we dont get involve, Ukraine is gone and Russia just rebuilds till their next attack like this.
I think in this case the only thing you can do is to not let them win. You let them take Ukraine and get stronger and then in another decade or so they start moving in on the other former Soviet nations the same way. They won't stop. And everytime they end up in a better position to act on their threats.
You can't negotiate with them either because anyone who makes peace with them or surrenders after initially challenging them ends up dead somehow.
There's no other option to exhaust other than to totally fucking defeat them.
