If 2023 ends up giving us AGI, room-temperature superconductors, Starships and a cure for cancer, I think we will able to call it a good year...

Really? Putin seems to slowly change his mind, even as far as the aims of his "special military operation" are concerned. It looks like he is slowly realizing what he got himself into and his aim is to keep Ukraine unstable to prevent its association with the EU.

There have been some incidents on the Polish border recently that put the whole thing on a knife edge.

Meh. Łukaszenko and Putin were waving their nuclear dicks around over here for decades at this point. The only reason they do it is to scare away the more naive westerners. Nobody here takes it seriously.

A downfalling desperate Putin is likely to cause serious damage with nuclear weapons. I think should be very cautios, but am not suggesting we should giving in to his his nuclear erection. The doomsday clock is 90 seconds to midnight for a reason.

The present threat is no nuclear in nature.

Planes from Belarus flew into Polish airspace, and Lukashenko has threatened that Wagner troops are eager to enter Poland.

Wagner vs GROM seems seriously a bad idea for Wagner.

I know. It's not a threat, just posturing. Russia entering any new war right now will just lose both. And Belarus is trying very hard not to forced to actually fight.

Putin couldn't even force his army to stop 500 people going on Moscow. Had to negotiate, losing face in his own empire. But he will surely have enough influence to force the same army to commit nuclear suicide on his dying whim :)

It's just a threat to make west slightly less likely to help Ukraine for real. If people stopped falling for it 10 years earlier we wouldn't have been in this predicament, millions of people and billions of USD would be saved. All that was needed was to accept Ukraine into NATO or do serious response to 2008 and 2014 russian invasions.

A conventional conflict with NATO seems like complete suicide. Even if it happened, I'd have no concern as long as it stays conventional. It would be like being attacked by an old Chihuahua.

I agree and yet im feeling very uneasy about a vindictive cornered bully like Putin
