| Farsala said: Well I am not in any way suggesting declaring war on Russia, since Russia has not declared war on Ukraine. Like I said with Kapi, Russian efforts into Estonia would be less efforts into Ukraine. Plus I am suggesting more than 1 non nuclear power to help Ukraine, and not just the weakest member. G7 imposing massive sanctions on China, India etc. would be disastrous. Like I said they wouldn't be NK. They would be a far more dangerous NK. When Putin is ousted and a civil war erupts with multiple factions holding control over various different nuclear bombs, chaos could ensue. |
Well I don't know much about Russia nuclear launch mechanism and if it would even be possible without a proper chain of commandment but certainly with what we've seen so far I'm inclined to believe the worst is possible if Russia were to fall in a civil war.
In the mean time however, all country have a duty to not escalate things further, we are so close to WW3 that any sparks may transform 10s of thousands dead in Ukraine to 10s of millions dead in the world. All decision must be taken with extreme thoughtfulness, that's not to say anything is impossible but direct confrontation certainly isn't. The closest I could realistically think of to a direct involvement (for now) which should have limited repercussion is if countries supported and encouraged there own citizen to engage themselves in Ukraine foreign legion. As Russian propagandist are already claiming Nato troops to be in Ukraine it shouldn't escalate things further.
Short of that however, the best way to help Ukraine right now is to provide them with enough air defense system that you basically make it a no fly zone without enforcing it yourself. Make the ~50% success rate in intercepting missile and drone a 95%+ the next time. Country like Estonia, which doesn't boast much military capacity should focus on covering Ukraine humanitarian needs.
