There is no escalation path for Putin now except nuclear, and there’s no indication that that’s under any serious consideration in Russia - not least because its only friends in the world (China) have warned it not to, and its most powerful adversary (USA) has spelled out, through diplomatic channels, exactly how rapid and devastating its retaliation would be.
The ‘woah let’s not anger Putin’ line is really wearing thin now. Total war is already underway in Europe and continuing to drip-feed Ukraine just what it needs for defence is only prolonging it.
Germany’s only concern now should be trying to avoid being on the wrong side of history for once.
