dude... it is not the cold war: one "side" has nukes, the other side nil.

And actually, there is so much disinformation, I am not even sure of the meaning of "sides" here.

I play dota2, mixed ukrainian-russian pro teams are from the best in the world and are _currently_ competing. All of them will be traitors in their respective country??? All that does not make any sense.

Hope a way out of this weird conflict is found soon.

Only way out of this conflict is for Russia to leave all of Ukraine (including Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk).

Unfortunately due to Russias attitude regarding the war this can only be done by force.

putin's regime does not care, they have russian nukes (or maybe "super conventional bombs" like the US, but it does not "wipe clean" a front line like a tactical nuke).

I wish this weird, really weird, conflict was finished yesterday. I hope putin's regime will not use nukes due to the failing of its conventional army.

Nobody understands really why people are killing each other over there.

No one cares what weapons Putin threats anymore, he has become the boy who cried wolf of nukes, they have been threatening nukes since pretty much the start of the war and literally nothing has changed.

Russia is killing Ukrainians likely due to the natural resources found in the Donbas region that would threaten Russias status as the worlds gas station. This is why Russia is over their committing genocide and other war crimes.

Before using nukes, there are warnings, this is the first stage. But as far as I can see, putin's regime is roughly getting the terrority it wants, so even with some setbacks, in theory there would be no rush with nukes.

Also, there are the new 300000 men and equipment plus the results of the fake referendums which will make those regions part of russia... for the russian government only, but putin's regime only needs that from a internal political point of view I guess.

If that goes this way, the aftermath would be heavy equipment on those new "boundaries", and "purging" all pro-ukrainian ukrainians from those regions. I guess the threat of nukes would become way more serious if putin's regime army cannot hold the boundaries it really wants (the take more, to get less in the end). In parallel, there is the setup of their mass surveillance systems there in order to conduct the pro-ukrainian ukrainians "purge", which would now be pro-ukrainian russians from the point of view of the russian gov.

Or putin's regime goals are completely different.

About the "newly fossil gas reserved discovered", I saw that, no idea if this is true, a colateral of the real reasons of this war, or part of the disinformation.
