| If Ukraine loses, Russia will be in a good position to attack the west because they think we're cowards who won't actually respond to, e.g., Estonia getting invaded. Also, it's misleading to say that Ukraine is 1/20th the economy: Ukraine is supported by NATO. Of course, this is all irrelevant to the discussion around chat control: authoritarians want authority. |

| Sounds like Russia is Europe's Iran. They're 2 weeks away from having ~~nuclear weapons~~ invading Europe! Sorry, we need to scan all of your communications to prepare for this looming threat. |

| ▲ | petertodd a day ago | parent [-] | | Iran has been "2 weeks" away from having nuclear weapons repeatedly. Each time they get especially close we bomb and/or sabotage them to undo their progress. Russia is equally a genuine threat to the west. A threat we can easily fix by helping Ukraine bomb them into economic collapse. | | |
| ▲ | DaSHacka a day ago | parent [-] | | I honestly don't see it. I'm far more wary of China than Russia. Russia can't even take Ukraine, they're experiencing their own version of the U.S. Vietnam catastrophe. |
