| Topic | Am I alone in feeling afraid over what's happening in Ukraine? |
| darkmaian23 10/02/22 8:25:41 AM #1: | Everything Putin has been trying to do in Ukraine has been failure, and the conscription of ordinary Russians into the army isn't going well at all. People say things like "Putin isn't stupid enough to launch nukes" or "the people around him won't let him", but I don't find any of those answers comforting. Whether he launches nukes at just Ukraine or at the US or our allies, it will provoke a massive response and change geopolitics severely. Instead of nukes, he might deploy a bioweapon for at least some semblance of deniability. But suppose Putin doesn't use nukes or biological warfare (or is prevented from doing so by someone else). Russia will sooner or later collapse from sanctions and mismanagement. What will happen to the people? What will happen geopolitically? Maybe it has just been the last three shitty years, but to me, this all feels like it can't end well at all for the world. Is it just me? I'd love to believe I'm overthinking this. --- Cuteness is justice! It's the law. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
