Reply to comment by WickedSlice_ in Ukraine: ‘Fast-track’ talks underway for missiles, planes by bluelotus214

Which boarders? The Donbas and Crimea are now part of Russia. Taking those back is technically invading Russia and could potentially start a nuclear war.

The area that he declared “Russia” wasn’t even under Russian control when he did that. It’s a joke.

Oh I know. But from Russia’s standpoint, those areas are now Russia. I’m just highlighting the fact that it’s not as simple as “pushing the Russians back to their borders” and not triggering a nuclear war. The war is escalating and the West is contributing to that. Right or wrong, justified or not, sending missiles and planes to Ukraine increases the likelihood of nuclear conflict. It’s a game of chicken that both sides are playing.

The only places those boarders are recognised is Russia and North Korea. Not even Iran recognises those boarders.

Not only that but Kherson was allegedly a part of Russia and that didn’t start a nuclear war.
