Interested in other comrades thoughts on this statement, as I feel it is an interesting development especially in light of the recent escalation, imo anyway, of arms shipments to the Ukraine namely long range missiles. I know people chat shit and this isnt necessarily indicative of actual Russian policy, but what do we think the next steps would be in the event of a serious escalation ?
I feel like Russia have been constrained thus far in their responses to the drone attack on the Kremlin and recent border attacks. To me it seems like there is a faction of the Ukrainians at this point that are thinking the only way to maintain the Western support that they are now accustomed to is to escalate the conflict beyond control and compel the west to go all in.
Of course this is terrifying to consider when you think of the nuclear implications, but what are we thinking Russia’s next course of action will be, especially after seizing Artyomovsk ?
