As a Finn I say this is fine. Every military resource that is tied down and not raping and destroying Ukraine is net positive.

The claim is that it would be a global fuck up, maybe implying that it wouldn't be limited to Russia/nato. Not that this wouldn't be messy in and of itself, if Russia were to invade, I suspect they would be left out on their own by everyone else. They're already struggling with Ukraine. I doubt anyone is going to want to step up and help them against NATO. They would probably lose a lot of the external but indirect support they are getting right now because countries would be hesitant to support a country against the us.

If it's just "war is bad" then yeah, kind of a duh statement.

Hopefully everybody else would be sensible and nobody would take Russia's side. Hopefully Russia wouldn't randomly nuke other countries in their death throes.

But even if both of those things turn out fine the economic fallout (and other kinds of fallout if it goes nuclear) will be a global problem.
