Reply to comment by steruY in ELI5: How is donating equipment to participate in war, not considered going to war? by lloyd705
This is a silly bluff, though. The options are not just nuclear war or Russia is destroyed. The third, vastly preferable alternative is that Russia withdraws from a pointless foreign invasion and takes a ding as a nation but doesn’t come close to being destroyed. They’ve done it time and time again, they didn’t glass Afghanistan or the West for losing that conflict, this isn’t much different.

The options are either war is won or Putin loses power. And he doesn't want to lose power, believe me. That was my concern.
