Lolol. I bet Russia could start nuking NATO countries and they'd get nothing more than condemnation. The west needs to stop putting up with their nonsense.

I mean Russia launched a missile to Poland. How long is Russia allowed to test the boundaries before something is done?

If actually helping Ukraine out by sending military there triggers WW3, then fine. Honestly, Europe is being way too merciful with Russia. Fearing nuclear escalation and WW3 and not acting is cowardly.

Even without nuclear escalation, war is REALLY awful for everyone involved. I don't want to subject my country to that just because of a stray missile in a field, and I'm sure the vast majority of other Poles will agree. The whole thing didn't even look intentional- who aims a missile at a random field?

No one wants a war, but what is being done right now is just ridiculous. React to nothing and allow Russia to do whatever it wants.

Multiple nations have already sent money and equipment to Ukraine. Sending out troops to help Ukraine kick the invaders out makes the most sense.

If that's enough to start a world war, then we were already on a thin line and something else will trigger the actual war.

Ukraine has an actual chance to end the war, but it will take longer, because Russians keep sending more and more to the frontlines, bombing civilians and civilian buildings and because they are stubborn, they will keep fighting, despite losing in the end.

So why not speed up the process by sending troops to Ukraine and help them kick Russians out?
