It's just a special military operation to demilitariZe (and decommuniZe) Russia. It's not even a war, you know.
Do you say Russia will respond by just mass murdering all of these "Russian speakers" (who no longer speak Russian after what Russia has done to them) who are being so oppressed by them Nazis? While also contaminating Russia, Belarus, and NATO countries? Interesting proposal, I admit.
And Ukraine used to HOUSE NUKES (having more than France, UK, and China combined) until the Americans convinced them to transfer all of them to America's "trusted partner", Russia. (They also gave to Russia more than half thousand air-launched cruise missiles that are now being fired into Ukrainian cities, among other things.)
The only thing stopping Russia using nukes is the fact that China, India and other business partners would cut ties if they first strike
But if Ukraine 'triggered' an explosion by recklessly attacking targets within Russia than focusing on reclaiming their land, well they'll just accept Ukraine brought it on themselves, put on some sunglasses and watch the light show.
And it'd be easy to pin it on them being the cause, they were reckless enough to false flag their own missile hitting Poland to try and get NATO fully involved, is them willing to risk a nuclear explosion inside Russia too much of an ask?
You can't "trigger an explosion" (nuclear) like that, it's not a cartoon. Are you a literal child?
There was no any "false flag", it was an air defense missile (S-300). Russia hit Russian territory with their own air defense missiles many times while dealing with Ukrainian air raids, it's happening all the time in all modern conflicts. Ukrainians once shot down a Russian passenger plane full of Israelis during their joint training exercise with the Russians in their better times (2001 or so), and much more recently Iran shot down an Ukrainian passenger plane full of Iranians, also by human error. It's been always a huge problem, with some estimates saying that the British anti-aircraft fire could have killed more people than the Germans air raids did (unlikely), and probably all of American civilians who died in the Pearl Harbor attack were killed by the American gunners (very likely as the Japs attacked the military targets only - there was also a lot of American friendly fire on their own planes).
Yet they kept yelling "Russia attacked Poland! Russia killed Polish citizens!" Even after NATO went "this is your air defence missile, not a Russian long range missile"
I said Russia's partners just need an excuse to look the other way even more, attacking the interior of Russia welcomes even more possibilities of it happening.
That's also the Polish gov (and opposition alike) line, the responsibility is 100% Russian. Just like all the civs killed by their fellow Americans in Pearl Harbor only died because of the Japanese attack.
Also the first Polish citizen who died in this war did in 2014, and he was brutally murdered by a drunken Russian fighter who first beat him in a street of Donetsk, then emptied his entire magazine into his legs (and pavement) and left him for dead. He was scooped to a hospital in Kharkiv, got one of his leg amputated but died 3 days later anyway. His name was Kazimierz Wróbel, he was living there with his local wife.
