You SHOULD be scared
8 years ago when the US/NATO overthrew the Ukraine government I stopped cold in my tracks. The collective west crossed the rubicon. That action can have only 2 possible outcomes
Someone said it’s looking like 1938.
More like 1943:
“the specter of defeat did not materialize until Germany’s Sixth Army was defeated at Stalingrad. Until then, Germany had not sustained a major loss. There was a “sense of invincibility” of the Nazi armies which had rolled over Poland, Holland, Belgium, France, Greece, and Yugoslavia, as well as the Ukraine, from September 1939 until January 1943.
Yes, the German armies had been stopped in front of Moscow in the winter of 1941, but it was more because of blizzards and stubborn Russian resistance; the Germans had not been defeated.
Stalingrad was a huge defeat. And it was the turning point, along with Rommel’s defeat in Egypt.”

Stop living in the past! Live in the here and now, address the here and now situation.
I address the now situation by saying euro artillery bombing Russians, and swastika-wearing fascists outlawing the Russian language, in Ukraine ain’t a good look. History says where this goes. Every time. Fascists never learn. Gonna get a beating again
a commenter:
There's the danger that it becomes a protracted war. I hope the russians and the ukrainian «authority» come to any sort of agreement now. There's no «good war», so even an half baked peace or even a cease-fire is a better situation.
It is certain that Russia will continue until the 2014 coup d’etat is reversed. Their stated objectives: demilitarization, denazification, Ukrainian neutrality. If the west chooses to interfere in this, then war will spread outside of Ukraine immediately. Russia said that. No reasonable person will doubt it.
a commenter:
They (NATO countries) are interfering with heavy sanctions and arms delieveries.
I see as very realistic scenario that all this mess can derail in a full global war with the danger of becoming nuclear? I am scared!
Absolutely. You should be scared. 8 years ago when the US/NATO overthrew the Ukraine government I stopped cold in my tracks. The collective west crossed the rubicon. That action can have only 2 possible outcomes:
1. Russia reverses the insane NATO/US action.
2. Global nuclear war
Putin, demonized 24/7 by the west, is the only reason any of us remain alive. Putin rises to the occasion, rationally seeking ways for 8 years to get compromise from the west that even partially resolves the US/NATO 2014 Ukraine putsch
(compromise = autonomy for Donbass, security guarantees for Russia, no NATO hardware on Russia’s doorstep).
Finding no cooperation whatsoever, and instead only total hostility, Russia proceeds with 1. Which again, is the only reason any of us has any future whatsoever. The alternative to 1 is a situation that is zero whole steps away from total nuclear war.
Note that Ukrainian officials had already stated their intent to take their spent nuclear fuel and their missiles and lob dirty bombs at Russia, and, to join NATO, and to reclaim Crimea by force, which means NATO war with Russia.
Russian reversal of the 2014 US/NATO coup d’etat in Ukraine - the west’s use of Ukraine as a military anti-Russia platform - reversal of this is the only option left that avoids nuclear war.
However, the west IS homogeneously insane, so the west keeping itself from doing very stupid things, like interfering in this, cannot be taken for granted. The risk of extremely unwise decisions from the west is extremely high.
