So Ukraine can’t pick up Polish MiGs in Germany because it would “escalate” things, but Putin can threaten nuclear war, announce he’ll fire on NATO vessels, recruit Syrian militiamen and Chechen berserkers, and take shipment of Chinese drones?

I wrote something similar a few days ago.

putin: "I will consider a no-fly zone an act of war, and I have nukes."

ru apologists: "We can’t create a no-fly zone over Ukraine, putin would consider it an act of war, he has nukes, and we’re don’t want to upset him. We should use sanctions instead."

putin: "Economic sanctions are an act of war, and I have nukes."

ru apologists: "Uhh. Maybe we could just send some defensive weapons?"

putin: "Arming Ukraine is an act of war, and I have nukes."

sane folks: "Hey, maybe we should step in and stop genocide from happening?"

ru apologists: "ARE YOU CRAZY! HE HAS NUKES! YOU OBVIOUSLY WANT ARMAGEDDON!!"
