I agree. With a paranoid and unstable figure like Putin, the consequences of his actions are horrifying. My hope is that Russia is strangled economically and it’s people and hierarchy turn against him. Small hope, I know.

Think we’re all kinging on to that mate. Obviously the best outcome.

I agree I can’t see Nato getting involved anytime soon unless provoked/forced to through Russia attacking or declaring war on Nato which appears highly unlikely at the moment.

My point is more do we envisage over time that the sanctions imposed on Russia continue to such an extent that it cripples the Russian economy and begins to threaten the west again with nuclear weapons, does the west revert back to trading with Russia? Can all be forgiven by either side?

Depends on the outcome. If sanctions continue then they’ll be on their own. Nobody wants to deal with them. They can’t threaten the world. Eventually they’re going to have to decide if they want to be North Korea or accept that they have to cooperate and begin trading again.

the only way to solve the Nuke problem is finding a way to neutralize them, in war its always been a cat and mouse game of offensive and defensive weapons, where a leap in one field lends itself to advancements in another, seems the MAD theory is going to be needing a rethink and a long term defensive strategy put in place.

How about satellites that shoot them out of the sky.....

Still managed to develop missiles that the Yanks don't have though. 5000mph, low trajectory, early warning system evading 50 megaton nuclear missiles to be precise.

Maybe if they developed the smart phone instead they wouldn't be so fucked financially.
