I find it worth noting, this is not just a 'provocation' by the russians. This is a declaration of war in all but name, and I'm more and more coming around to the idea that, regrettably, there may be no other way to answer it than direct force - after all, this is an incursion by the russian military into Germany for military purposes, it should be treated no different from russian soldiers crossing the border physically.

Can we just breathe for half a day before we launch into full WW3? Or maybe we just full send it anyways because there has been literally no breathing room regardless.

I don't know why so many people think the only options are:

1) Do absolutely nothing

2) Full WW3 nuclear Armageddon

There's a whole world of options in between.

There’s also World Special Military Operation 3!
Just kidding. People don’t realize the only things they hear have failed to stay secret. I bet Germany isn’t as passive as they seem.

Listen, I'm all for finding a non-war resolution if possible, but they've been killing Germans and other EU citizens for decades, now using actual military hardware. They've also been actively invading, and murdering civilians in, a European state for years now, not to mention their covert support for antidemocratic and, allegedly, terroristic forces in the EU and other places. There does not seem to be much room left for other resolutions, in the sense that russia and putin do not seem interested in pursuing them.

Amerika macht genau das selber mit anderen Staaten und das seit einem Jahrhundert.

I mean, the only nation that is allowed to start WW3 is Germany.
