A political change in US is more likely to be a de-escalating factor. Putin knows that the Biden administration will stay away from direct conflict to the very last, Trump not so much. | |

| Jun 6, 2022 at 8:05 | comment | added | Chris H | Russia is in different position to many other aggressors in that they have a large arsenal of nuclear weapons, and quite possibly chemical and biological weapons as well. They also have a leader acting irrationally. While the likelihood of Russia using such weapons may be low, the hazard is so large that the overall risk can't be neglected (with respect to the third point - escalation) | |
