A colonial superpower that's failed to accept its relative insignificance in the 21st Century world. That sounds awfully familiar.

I don't think they would so as you say dangerous times.If Putin nukes an Ukraine city will the west retaliate, I do not believe so and he knows that, he has nothing to loose very dangerous times.
If fallout from a Russian nuclear detonation in Ukraine reached a NATO country it could technically trigger article 5 of the NATO treaty.If Putin nukes an Ukraine city will the west retaliate, I do not believe so and he knows that, he has nothing to loose very dangerous times.
I can't see peace talks happening anytime soon.What will it take for peace talks to start. Surely it's in everyone's interest to find a solution.
What a waste of life, there is no winner's in war.I can't see peace talks happening anytime soon.
The Ukraine is making impressive gains, but the campaign season is ending in a few weeks (once winter sets in).
I can't see Ukraine accepting anything except kicking Russia out of their country (who could blame them).
Putin will be unable to disengage without something that he can sell as a victory.
I can't see it ending this year, unfortunately, I hope I'm wrong

A lot of the analysis I have read/heard recently have been saying this could last years.
There are other dangers here too. Not least that the public, British and American, will get jaded with the drain of resources over time.
The UK has spent approaching £2.5 Billion on the war so far, and is about to do the same next year.
This is all very well for a bit, but when the lights go out and when people start loosing their homes because the country is supposedly skint, I think we will see a turning of opinion.
Nope, so many killed which did not need to happen, RU re-enforcements are grossly under equiped, so worrying for them if they are going to hunker down in the freezing temps this winter. God only knows if the train supplies for Kerch bridge will be working, the video they posted the other day was faked as the burnt out train is still on the track.What a waste of life, there is no winner's in war.
Use of nuclear weapons could not go unanswered. If it was it would set a precedent for Russia and any other nuclear state that they can just fire off nukes and everyone will back down.If Russia used Nukes NATO absolutley would respond, would it be nuclear? probably not but they have a lot of contingency planned for all of this already.
Obvioulsy we really hope it does not come to this but If it ever came about Nato actually moved in on Russia they would be captured pretty quickly I think.
Whilst Xi and Modi are not exacltly looking great with their keeping a safe distance from Putin but quietly being on his side I do not think they would stand by and let him go armageddon.
RU say they target infastructure but they have hit playgrounds and all sorts, geotagged and confirmed.
