    I’m sure NATO will help whoever is anti-Putin’s regime. Nukes might happen but I don’t think MAD is an issue.
    Do ruskies even like Putin?

      Various lawmakers have come out and demanded that Putin resign, they may not actively say it but he is becoming much more unpopular by the day. I think everyone was banking on him at least securing the eastern territories of Ukraine, which is clearly not happening.

        Does anybody have that 'Options A though E' image regarding the invasion? With A being total Ukranian capitulation, and E being incursion into Russian territory? I think we're at C or D if I remember it correctly.

    NATO or the UN setting up a nuclear bomb buyback program would be a cost effective way of securing Russia's WMDs. All they would have to do is announce anyone who turns in one bomb's worth of fissile nuclear material gets a million dollars, no questions asked.

          If any nuke is launched regardless of where it hits then I would be shocked if the US and by extension NATO doesn’t take a page from its British history and carve up Russia like a turkey, anything less than immediate retaliation sets a very dangerous precedent. Not only would it remove an old enemy but give China a clear warning as to what will happen if they frick around.

            If he can't give gibs anymore he gonna need to crackdown and that mean not using his troop anywhere else.

    I think russians are still too dictatorship broken to really truly rise up. Unless mass famine happens, then anything goes. Food is what really keeps society stable.

          as someone who lives here, it absolutely a meme, but because it's be a confederation and not necessarily "libtardation" (or maybe, but more lolbertarian than outright liberal). You'd have so many different little fricking parts with such a varying level of beliefs and political ideals that it'd be about as fricking functional as the HRE.
          It'd still be functional enough to keep people out, but mostly as a result of the eponymous mountains and because we'd be so insufferable to work with that everyone would just frick off.

            To add to my own statement, Oregon (or at least western Oregon) would be the fricking same, but with a much wider gulf in beliefs and ideals, hence my calling it a quagmire.

            If I could pick up and move any place I'd either be in the rural Willamette Valley to be much closer to family (even though my allergies would probably fricking murder me for a few years) or near Tillamook, which if you ignored the ocean looks almost exactly like the Willamette Valley.

    1. Anyone with the capacity would send spies in to make contact with all sides to try and get them to secure and disable nukes
    2. There would be overt public promises by all third parties that they aren't making backroom alliances with one side or the other
    3. That would technically be true because they would be making backroom alliances with every side.
    4. Absolutely nobody would stick a pinky toe into Russia beyond spyshit. They don't want to turn a national civil war into an international nuclear war.
    5. There is assuredly some Russia only for realsies MAD doctrine the nuclear countries have worked out in case Russia destabilizes where they all point their guns toward the bear and fire if it looks like their arsenal's about to go wild. At the very least China's not nuking the USA in response to the USA preemptively nuking Russia in response to Russia nuking itself.
