Yeah, maybe. Or Putin will just use tactical nukes.

The West didn't think Putin would escalate in 2008.

The West didn't think Putin would escalate in 2014.

The West didn't think Putin would escalate in 2022.

The West thinks Putin won't escalate in 2026.

Do you see the pattern?

[mopsi]

Yes. He will definitely find more ways to make things worse for Russia in 2026 as well.
