    Right. Mighty Russia that has been fought to a standstill by its much smaller neighbour is going to provoke a military alliance absolutely dwarfing it into outright war. Not even China is going to back that after having a look at who the more valuable trading partner is.

    Being ready for war is reasonable, being afraid or worried is a waste of time, and even irrational in this case.

      Invading Ukraine was idiotic on its own, and that happened.

      It's not irrational to notice that irrational actors do irrational things.

        How rational is killing others when someone tell you? You need strong propaganda of fear to makes other to kill each other. Something like those articles.

          Yet again: we're making the Russians do it?

            Whats the point of using methods that you fight against?
