Russia Ukraine war, page-10429

Everyone is aware it could escalate. We don’t need WSWS to tell us what we already know. The concept of people fighting for their land and homes is an ancient one. And now in response here goes Putin, threatening nuclear war. No-one else is. This shows what a gangster he is, to put this fear and anxiety into billions of people. Sanctions and supply of arms is a norm in times of war for nations that are not belligerents themselves, and NATO are not sending soldiers and are not directly engaging Russian forces. If there is an escalation or further miscalculation, it will come from Russia (= Putin). We don’t need WSWS screaming hysterically from the sidelines with a twisted version of the truth.
