Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Peace is good I’m sure it will save many lives, on the other hand Russia is faltering and if the resistance keeps up and the west keeps propping up Ukraine then Putin will be finished.

I can’t help feel peace talks and a solution would only keep Russia in the position it is in and keep Putin in power.

The world moving forward would be a better place with a Russia that we all get along with.

or actually the sanctions as they are might remove him, don’t remove sanction until there is a government change in Russia.

The theory is in the context of the detonation of one nuke.

No, it's still at the stage of a proxy war. No attack would be mounted against targets on Russian soil by any member of NATO and there will be no NATO troops on the ground engaging Russians on Ukranian soil. If anything hits a target on NATO territory then that would change very rapidly and we'd all be in the sh1t. Ireland is not in NATO of course but is close geographically to plenty who are

In Greece the first of two military transport planes, loaded with defence equipment, has departed from Eleusina for Ukraine. Portable rocket launchers, ammunition and Kalashnikov rifles will be aboard the two C130’s. The shipments will be delivered via Poland.

Apart from the points that you mentioned, a big concern of mine is the presence of Perimetr or "Dead Hand". Russian and Soviet leaders have been scared sh*tless about a decapitation strike since the 1960s and have tried to insure themselves against it. That is why Moscow is protected by what is likely the most powerful ballistic missile defense system on the planet.

Perimetr is another aspect of this fear. Details about it are scarce in the west beyond confirmation that it exists and is operational, but in essence, it is a semi-autonomous computer system that is designed to ensure a second strike is launched even if the entire political and military leadership of the country is eliminated. Once activated, release control for a retaliatory strike is delegated from the Kremlin to a dedicated command bunker whose exact location is unknown but likely to be somewhere in the Ural Mountains. There, a computer system will survey sensors all across Russia for signs of nuclear blasts and when these are registered, and contact with Moscow cannot be made, the computer will signal a retaliatory strike. Now, the actual push of the button still needs to be done by a human crew as a final safeguard, but that will just be a two man crew in that bunker. Once they decide to go ahead with the strike, a ballistic missile carrying radio equipment will be launched on a predetermined trajectory that leads it over any missile fields still operational and broadcast a radio signal triggering an automatic launch of any remaining ICBMs. In effect, it's a doomsday machine.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kulebanot not mincing his words. Pretty much calling out Mario Draghi and Viktor Orban for limiting SWIFT sanctions. And then this:

"Russian oil and gas now contains Ukrainian blood"

I have been saying this for years, Putin is a sociopath; he is immeasurably dangerous. The US needs to be contacting any senior contacts they have in the Russian military and advise they do somethng about his idiot, and fast.

I say something drastic will be said the Ukrainian president at the talks. I would say nuclear weapons will be mentioned and I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 are used in Western Ukraine if they don't bow to Russian demands. I just can't see Putin letting all the weapons etc. keep coming through from there, if that keeps happening there is no way Russia will get the upper hand, he knows well this will stop weapons etc from. coming into Ukraine then and let's be honest there is no way if that is done with him using them if he does use 1 or 2 nukes no way America or Europe or any other country will stay involved helping them if he mentions he will use them on their country and he states Russia will burn with them. He will show he has used them and is willing to keep using them and that will back the rest of the world out of Ukraine, he will have shown the rest of the world he has and will use them. Otherwise if he doesn't do that Russia is going to be bled dry. Its either that or accept your loses and keep trying to take Ukraine the way they are and its not working put for Russia in that sense.

What will the rest of the world do if Zelensky is killed at the negotiation? For some reason I don't 100% trust Lukashenko's impartiality...

More EU countries have now closed their airspace to Russian airliners, Turkey sounding off like they are about to close the strait to Russian warships possibly

What is the likely hood of a Russian civil war is putin is stopped by someone in Russia

You seem to have misinterpretated my question. I know that NATO will not go into Russia, or even to Ukraine. My question was, with NATO sending so many supplies into Ukraine, at what point does a flailing, desperate, under pressure Putin decide that he may as well go all in on a NATO country given they're currently so heavily involved anyway....

And I say this as a resident of a NATO country bordering Ukraine
