    No. Same tactics can be used by Serbia. Take back what's ours not by nukes but by the fear of nukes.
    Good luck for your dream, Serbia ain't gonna get shit "back".

    And the moment Serbia suddenly gets nukes, is the moment when you'll see another NATO intervention to stop your people from genociding others...again.

    And my friend, that will be less than 3 days "special military operation" and Serbia is pacified, perhaps permanently next time.

    Bow down to American nuclear superiority. Fear them.

    That's what you sound like, but a weaker version.

    Russia should send a nuke to Serbia and Russian nukes in the middle of Europe would mean check-mate to the west and free road to Kosovo.
    You should be on the front lines taking Kosovo "back" then, right? But you're just a coward with a very fragile masculinity.

    If Serbia wants another go of NATO air power showing Belgrade what it's capable off, sure.

    Yeah, nationalists are assholes, but nationalist expats are even worse.

    Take...over?

    Sir, have you seen the news over the past 10 months? I realize that this was supposed to be a 3-day special operation and all, but a lot has happened since then!

    I missed have missed the memo where Russia actually won and didn't completely get its ass kicked by a proxy for the West.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    probably until the Republicans and possibly Trump take over again, insofar as America goes.

    It's already been pointed out Putin could be stalling for that time, and the war is projected to not end any time soon.

    It should be noted a lot of the support for Ukraine is only because of the Biden administration. GOP members and right-wingers largely view Zelenksy in disdain.

    Ah, yes stalling, with such grand victories like in...Soledar... that's why the rumour mill is rife with rumours about Gerasimov needing to deliver by March, and so forth. Once Leopards and Challengers arrive it won't get easier to stall.

    Yeah stalling, or more bluntly, dragging it out. I think the expectations this war - upfront - will end before or by early 2024 are unrealistic.

    The longer it takes, the more improbable a russian victory will be. Every delay is great for Ukraine.

    The entire world hates Russia, not just America.

    Have you learnt to tie a noose? You should.

    Fuck no. Every delay or the longer this drags on, this keeps piling up.

    There's nothing good about this dragging on for Ukraine. Because as you know, even if victory seems improbable to the Russians, they'll keep committing these atrocities for the sake of it.

    If a country is waging war to keep you out of NATO, that shouldn’t disqualify you from joining. NATO is a defensive pact to begin with.

    That’s like having a group to protect abuse victims but one of the requirements is that you can’t be under the threat of abuse currently.
    Personally, I think they (NATO) should let Ukraine join right now, and then move in and push Russia out of Ukraine, Crimea included.

    yeah that's all they can do, fight on. But the dilemma is the war should end soon hypothetically (that there's nothing positive about a grind) but it evidently won't because of the tenacity and manpower of the Russians. By manpower, I mean they just keep spawning disposable fodder like locusts and there seem to be no signs they're running out.

    It hasn't been mentioned often that Putin has recently been boasting of that all-out assault on Kyiv mentioned in December.

    If they can't get Sweden and Finland in now past the Autocrats there is no way they get Ukraine in.

    One of the requirements for joining NATO is you can't already be involved in an active military conflict at the time.
