Yes, of course it is, we’re talking global Armageddon. Several thousand dead Ukrainians do not warrant several billion dead globally.

That’s the harsh reality

I don’t the answer, but NATO is defensive not aggressive.

Given the potential, why would you risk attacking anyway?

We have a nuclear “deterrent” not a nuclear “aggressor” , (or arm twister) it is there to prevent an attack not to be used for an attack.

Ukraine are on their own, in regards to manpower.
