    A Russian victory in Ukraine could lead to World War III, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has said.

    Should Kyiv be defeated in the full-scale invasion launched by Russia in February 2022, “the global system of security will be destroyed… and all the world will need to find… a new system of security,” Shmyhal said in an interview Wednesday with the BBC in Washington, D.C.

    “Or, there will be many conflicts, many such kinds of wars, and in the end of the day, it could lead to the Third World War,” he added.

  2. This is what so many in West don’t understand. Our unwillingness to step up is what will lead to global war

  3. “Germany, Italy, and Japan were testing the newly founded League of Nations with multiple invasions and occupations of nearby countries, and felt emboldened when they encountered no meaningful consequences.” This was before Germany attacked Poland “officially” starting WW2. There are parallels to draw here for sure.

  4. This is something I cannot comprehend; even if Russia ”wins” the war, whatever that means, why would it automatically mean that it would lead to world war? I mean, Nato doesn’t want war with Russia, and vice verca.

    I’m certain that even the Russians understand that attacking Nato will ultimately lead to nuclear war, which no one will win.

  5. lets be honest, Kyiv would say anything that would get them more support and weapons

    it is unlikely the Ukrainian war would lead to WW III

  6. yep. The israel conflict is distracting everyone from much larger issues with russia/ukraine and china/taiwan. If putin takes ukraine, we’re proper fucked – china will grow a 3rd ball in the taiwan conflict and the west will get a stronger communist east as a real existential threat.

  7. Yes, and world will fight against Ukrainians… cos we will be enslaved and sent to the meat grinder against Moldova/Kazakhstan/NATO/etc.

  8. People clearly didn’t study WW2. Hitler didn’t stop with Poland.

  9. Agreed 100% , there should be no Russia victory that would inevitably lead to NATO intervention at some point before that will occur.. If Russia continue their Nazi and imperialistic fascist goals they would trigger WWIII by force… if this is what they want we wouldn’t be able to give a different answer, italy 🇮🇹

  10. The sad reality is that the US will be less of a help to Ukraine at this moment. They’re re-focusing efforts in containing China’s hegemony in their so called “Indo-Pacific Region” 🫢 Western Europe wouldn’t be much of a help either, unless there’s really political will.

  11. I hope someone is documenting all the insane claims that have been made by these clowns during Ukraine War, to be preserved for posterity.

    There are important historical lessons here, especially from the media perspective on driving political agendas, with complete disregard for facts.

    Shit like this is the main reason US invaded Vietnam and Iraq.

  12. Not probably, but certainly.

    Russian victory would mean that the US pulls back from any conflict as soon as it becomes mildly inconvenient for the average American idiots. This would enbolden Russia and China to seek military means to expand their sphere of influence.

    They would likely divide the ext soviet republics in Asia (and Russia would likely add Georgia and Moldova too) before they take action against Taiwan and the Baltics. And if MAGA-Man sits in the Oval Office they can fuly expect him not to defend Europe and inept enough to do anything meaningful to defend Taiwan.

    And by the time the American realise how fucked up they are, they would have basically teh whole world against them.

  14. I doubt that but i understand Ukraine will say anything to save itself. I would too.

  15. Do you all (Europeans) really think Putin would attack Poland? I’m genuinely curious how everyday people think about this. There is a lot of nuance that doesn’t get communicated in articles.

  18. Russia wants a rich Europe so they can continue selling them gas for the benefit of thier wealthy oligarchy rulling class, they dont have the ideologically motivation to start a world-war with NATO.

    Similarly, CCP will never start a war over Taiwan because then they will lose support, chinese people are already at a breaking point, forcing them into a war will make CCP lose Face.

    So no, WW3 isnt starting anytime soon, stop with the insane fear mongering.

  19. The question that caused me thinking is, what does Putin want? This is somehow different from the madman of WW2 which just purely wanted domination over Europe.

  20. Are they preparing the ground for a Russian victory in Ukraine? Because since this morning I get spammed with articles about Ukraine’s possible defeat

  21. What else could he say? “Don’t worry even if we lose”? Of course, Ukraine is interested in maximum support.

  22. I am going to smoke myself to death now. Until the phat lady sings.

  23. If Russia does not lose this war, Georgia, Moldova, and Belarus will be next. From Ukraine-Belarus, it will be very easy to attack the Baltics and Poland (not at the same time).

  24. Humans: we’re the most intelligent on the universe!
    Humans: Give me that land, or I blow you up!

  25. So we should just unite to take down Ukraine then?

    I would rather Ukraine be wiped off the earth than WW3 killing everyone.

    These people are idiots.

  27. If things do continue to escalate like this I’m seriously considering joining the military, and I would do that with immense reluctance, but with a clear goal.

  28. It would certainly delegitimize the liberal democracies and validate the belief of the autocratic powers that they can outlast, outfight, separate and infiltrate them.

  29. At what point do we start calling out this pathetic fear mongering and lies??? Is all of Europe brain washed already??

  30. Yup, Europeans sleepwalking and falling for Russian propaganda. When there are Russian and Chinese nukes in Lviv, it’s gonna be too late to do anything about it.

    You are at war, whether you want to be or not.

  31. A Russian victory will only lead to greater proliferation of nuclear weapons. Countries will see they can’t rely on international laws and the world order to protect their sovereignty and seek to take matters into their own hands by trying to acquire these weapons.

  34. Democracies are weak and at a disadvantage against dictatorships. We need to make our principles more flexible during times like these.
