Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Russia won't escalate to nuclear, but it will have to escalate, which is going to ruin the rest of Ukraine all for a chance of getting more intelligence on Russian capabilities.
How will Russia escalate further? They are already doing almost everything they can, including deploying troops in Ukraine from other countries like NK, and indiscriminate bombing of civilian centers in Ukraine.
Russia has no capability to escalate the war besides nukes, which they won't use. It's amusing y'all think this is a big deal, it's not and nothing will happen. The US should have approved these strikes the minute we supplied the weapons in the first place.
Hopefully they'll provide Ansarallah with advanced weapons which will lead to very cool things happening in and around the red sea.
EDIT: or they could just start using non-nuclear weapons on NATO assets themselves
The red sea stuff would be interesting and a more realistic option, but they won't strike NATO because NATO would easily wipe the floor with Russia.
Russia's 3 day invasion has turned into a multi year disaster because they can't fight against decade old NATO tech, they know they aren't capable of besting NATO
Other than Ukraine where Russia has gradually ground the UAF into dust when is the last time NATO equipment and tactics were used against a near peer?
All NATO troops know how to do is massacre civilians and bomb militias.
small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys "in charge" in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.
