"Because of reckless comments from London approving the use of British weapons to attack Russian territory, Moscow has formally warned that if this happens it could directly attack British military installations in Ukraine AND BEYOND"
...meaning that Russia has threatened to attack not just British military bases within Ukraine, but also outside, i.e. in UK, as reported in the AntiWar link provided and as I also wrote in one of my previous posts, citing Maria Zakharova: https://geopolitiq.substack.com/p/its-getting-hot
I don't know how Putin has remained sane against this constant barrage of 'red lines' crossed.' IF he is pushed much further we are in danger caused by many countries in the West.
Being "sane" for so long is what's been enabling the west to continue pushing. The "insane" part should have been invoked much earlier on smaller things, just to show he could be insane. Then these bigger things would not be happening.
I doubt if on these pages there has ever been a more accurate assessment on this subject, Feral. A big mistake in judgement, in my opinion. "Contemptible weakness" it isn't.
NATO, an American invention will eventually be the loser.
I wonder if Genocide Joe, if he ever sits down to think for himself as opposed tb taking advice from his surrounding Netanyahu's parasites, considers that while all his little wars, proxy of course, are proceeding, what it is that China is doing every day.
Back in the old days, the Korean War, I remember the support that was China's to give and how, based on their population numbers they were prepared to sacrifice numbers for results. These days they are not a collection of farmers and agricultural workers but an amazing country with staggering results in building communities and cities, exports, standards unheard of in their history before. People should somehow find a way to look at that country today, its achievements and the progress made in a relatively short time ,and then by adding that to Russia's technology and weapons base, consider that an expansion by the US proxies will spell disaster for any enemy.
And the USA these days, is everybody's enemy. Their choice entirely and that includes all their sycophantic vassal states soon to realise that the US has no friends, including their current bunch of short term supporters. The Anglo whites will then be left alone, targets in the making.
The US has made its bed with Israel as their motivation for evil deeds and their puppet master.
Highly likely it's not just about the stomach. Rather it's lack of capability to be effective without resorting to nuclear right off the bat. Which would start the end of all.
Maybe. I suspect that they would have treated the overrunning o fUkraine as a fait accompli. Sort of like the Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. "Thoughts and prayers!" but not much else.
Instead, the West has invested so much material and non-material support into Ukraine that they cannot be seen to lose now and keep on doubling down.
Just a minor correction:

What Russia sees as reasonableness and humanitarianism, the sociopaths ruling the West see as contemptible weakness.

Now they must lie in it.
The question remains whether Russia has the stomach to do it.

Had Russia acted with appropriate force from the outset, the point would be academic.
At every stage, Russia has catastrophically underestimated western sociopathy.
IF Russia had 'acted with appropriate force from the outset' I fear that the West would have become more unhinged than they already are.
Unlike the west I don't think Russia wants to cause overwhelming distress.
What Russia has learned, according to many people I have read with regard to warfare is :
They have learned different strategy's.
They have managed to use new/old weapons with increasing accuracy.
They have had time to build up weapon supplies + they have more troops.
IF they had gone faster this could not have happened.

Yes.........this is the problem. I see it too.
