It's getting worse not better and with Ukrainian allies providing increasing amounts of money and weapons, it continues to escalate. Escalation with a nuclear power used to be seen as a very risky thing to do but now people are actively encouraging it.

Exactly. Absolutely preposterous.

well, the west can't allow putin to reestablish the soviet union, they would be operating on the principle that if russia gains enough critical mass, then the other satellite states will fall in to line and Voilà mini soviet union 2.0.

So escalation with a nuclear power is OK?

what do you suggest? all non nuclear nations should either join a nuclear umbrella or start developing their own nukes? cause thats the message it would send. if america leaves, then what assurance does any of its allies in the pacific rim have that it would assist if china presses its claims. that would mean, japan, south korea, east indies, saudhi arabia, anyone capable would build their own nukes.

Not escalating with a nuclear power nor pushing them to desperation.

Ukraine doesn't have the same ally status as Korea or Japan.
