Will Putin start a Third World War?

Start the peace talks as soon as possible. As long as the US keeps sending money & missiles, this thing could drag on for a long time. End the endless wars.

@BizSuitStacy So you don't think Putin will use Nuclear weapons?
@Harmony the use of nuclear weapons assures mutual destruction on both sides. Doesn't matter who lobs the first one. So, I doubt Putin would start it.

@BizSuitStacy okay. But he evil enough to do it.
@Harmony I think that's a lot of propaganda coming from the military industrial complex. Western media has vilified Russia as the evil empire for decades. Putin is not a hardline communist as were his predecessors of yesteryear. And only one nation in history has ever nuked their enemy. But we are ever so close to having NATO forces on the ground in Ukraine and a massive escalation to the war. The sooner peace is negotiated, the better.

@BizSuitStacy But that still doesn't answer my origional question?
@Harmony Because I think the general public needs to be sending a message to DC to stop funding the war before it escalated out of control.

Look at Putin's approach...limited to Ukraine - a non NATO nation. If Putin was as batshit crazy as the media makes him out to be, the war would have escalated already.

Consider these actions:
Who blew up the Nordstream II pipeline?
Who lobbed missiles into Poland and blamed Russia?
Who blew up the Nova Khakovka dam near Crimea?
Who just asked Elon Musk to use StarLink to help destroy the Russian fleet in the Black Sea?

There are evil people trying to escalate this into a global conflict, but they aren't Putin.

@BizSuitStacy with respect, I disagree

@BizSuitStacy Yes good plan in order to have peace just let big countries overrun small countries.
@wonkywinky Right...Bush really showed Russia in 2008 after they went into Georgia. And Obama really showed Russia in 2014 after they went into Crimea. Oh wait...that's right...the US didn't do squat. Well, other than executing a coup in the Ukrainian 2014 election to install a pro-western puppet gov't, and ignite a civil war in the east against Russian speaking Ukrainians. I can't imagine why Russia would see that as a threat 🙄

@BizSuitStacy Who cares about what Russia,or little Pootin thinks about anything?Ukraine is an independent nation,and has the right to defend itself.Too many people seem to view Russia as a giant dragon thats going to burn their house down.They have had to retreat from about 60% of the territory they managed to grab in 2022.Since then its cost them over 200000 casualties just to try hold what they have.Mussolinis troops in WW2 would give you more trouble.
