He's an absolute dictator who has his (serious) opponents murdered. Seems clear to me.

"they’ve defended Russian territory, in Russia." LOL Prigozhin is dead, he's not doing another march on Moscow.

"NATO did exactly what they recognized for decades would push Russia to invade." Which is nothing.

"Ask how Russia should deal with a foreign power covertly manipulating their neighbor’s politics to elevate Nazis who would go on to bomb Russian speakers." LOL Now you are into delusional crackpot territory.

Serious question here, but how exactly do you think the world should deal with a dictator armed with nukes? Capitulate at every single threat?

"I’m sure you’ll be able to find comparable levels of involvement of Iran in the conflict..." My point was that Russia was using Iranian weapons to attack Ukraine... So by your logic Iran was attacking Ukraine. Especially as they would have had to train Russian troops to use those weapons. But if you are talking about "boots on the ground" those could not compete with the (at least) 10,000 North Korean troops in Ukraine. So by your logic North Korea are also attacking Ukraine. Who is escalating here?

As a side note the only person here who is threatening to use nukes again and again is Putin.

"They don’t have any standing to enter the war," That is true, but then they are not entering the war. No more than Iran is.... And I like the phrase "boots on the ground"... utterly meaningless.

"There is no chance of the USA attacking Russian territory? Really?" yes, exactly. Unless Iran is attacking Ukrainian territory. Seriously, this is complete bollocks. "The USA is salami..." And yet it is Russia who is attacking other countries and annexing territory... not the US. You are really full of shit here.

"That does not give the USA the right to attack Russian territory." What? There is no chance of this.... No one is even suggesting it. Seriously touch grass

People actually buy steam items?

I like the "illegal violence", without that 'illegal' in there so many governments would be classified as terrorist organisations.
