Clarification: That’s the likely result of any of the more likely paths to WW3 that involve Ukraine at this time.
(I am here excluding SE Asia, a future breakup of NATO and subsequent nuclear arms race, some sort of Pakistani / India / China 3 ring circus, etc.)
Irrelevant: You said Ukraine wants to provoke WW3. Why would they want that?
—> Why would they want that?
Because the leader is obeying those who are in charge.
You may need more caffeine on this beautiful Saturday.
“The Russians were in Crimea before we were in Ohio.”
Can we just give Ohio to the Russkies and call it even?
Ok, me being somewhat in the “middle”, I would argue that the US really should have left the Euro’s to take care of Kosovo, and we really messed things up in Libya. For starters.
OTOH, a broken up Europe is way more than “not in our interest”, it is insane. History clearly tells us that, and in this age, a European nuclear arms race results. There is no way that does not end up also disastrous to us. But, that’s almost a guaranteed outcome if the US does not remain, to oversimplify, the “glue” in NATO, and it’s strongest member.
I wish it was not so, but, I’m a realist. “Lesser evil” and all that...
You should tell your Russian friends not to start wars. Not everyone will let them get away with it.
Your name is probably just accurate.
Oooh. An insult laced with profanity. That’s all you have.
Pathetic.
Not my friends - either side.
“When are you going to get a decent education?”
Let me guess, you got your degree in Socialist Studies from UC Berkeley?
I’m under the impression that we already gave them Pennsylvania.
Nonsense / tinfoil premise.
Obviously Zelenskyy has to accept the dribble of weapons the West supplies, and limitations the West might put on their use, but that's about it. The rest is a complex dance, because "those in charge" need to foil a Russian victory, or even partial success, as much as Zelenskyy does. Different reasons and different time frames, tho'.
More to the point, what coercion could "those in charge" possibly force on "the leader" (Zelenskyy you are referring to, I assume), that would be worse than WW3 boiling up, likely obliterating both Ukraine and Zelenskyy?
You also vastly mistake the mood of most Ukrainians. At this point, if Zelenskyy doesn't fight, he'll get the axe (perhaps literally) from his own people, and be replaced with someone who will fight. That's not likely though - Zelenskyy is not Karzai, and the Ukies are clearly not the Afghans / ANA.

You’ve responded by indicating your views ignore facts instead of being informed by them.
As such I see no value in further interaction.

See my tagline. See my Freeper page.
You are obviously a very low IQ individual. I pity your parents having had to raise a special kid that turned out badly.
You write to me and pretend to be friendly only to turn on me like the scorpion you obviously are.
That’s really all I need to know about you.
I wrote to you in earnest and you accuse me of turning? You are a literal snake. Begone with you, wench. You are never welcome at my fire. An ice floe is to good for your black heart. You are a blood thirsty heathen. Papa Cheyney paying your bills?
Bye Felicia.
A snotty reply to boot. Your dark soul is on display for all to see. The initial Maker and final Judge will eventually deal with you, believe me. Put on asbestos panties.
The Brits aren’t fighting...yet.
