US not afraid of escalation from Russia over events in Kursk Oblast

The Pentagon has expressed no concern regarding the advance of Ukrainian forces in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, the Pentagon’s press service reports.

Source: European Pravda, citing Sabrina Singh, Deputy Spokesperson for the Pentagon

Details: “No, because at the end of the day, Ukraine is fighting for its sovereign territory that its neighbour invaded. So, if we want to de-escalate tensions, as we’ve said from the beginning, the best way to do that is Putin can make that decision today to withdraw troops from Ukraine,” Singh stated, when asked about the potential escalation of tensions due to Ukrainian forces entering Kursk Oblast

Its only a special military operation. Why would they need to escalate?

Sabrina Singh looks cute af, why tf she working for a building full of killers, called The Pentagon, when she could be doing better things for society?

You should try and get of the house and touch some grass.

What is with this place it kind of seems they have been fighting over it for the length of the war?

Oblast just means “territory” or similar. Which is why you see it appended onto a lot of the names of places the fighting is taking place in.

It’s important to understand Russia’s current economic situation. The sanctions have been brutal, but China has managed to keep them afloat. A significant (nuclear) escalation would turn China against Putin immediately.

China’s economy is also in a precarious position right now. Their massive housing bubble is in the process of bursting. Xi will not tolerate instability on that scale.

Why would China turn against Putin for them using their nukes? I don’t keep up much on their relations.

China needs exports to Europe and the US. A nuclear war is not good for anyone

Russian nukes would be aimed at western countries.

China sells to western countries.

Even if Russia only used nukes in the Kursk region in response to these events, the global condemnation would be close to universal. China would risk their own sanctions if they continued supporting Russia after that sort of escalation.

What are they going to do? Invade Ukraine?

HubertManne ,

oh now that they have been invaded they really did it. They will attack so many others. they will go totally two front. maybe three or four. there is no limit to the number of fronts they will do because thats some 5d chess warfare.

What escalation? They’ve thrown everything they have at Ukraine already.

ShadowRam ,

Not everything,

Yeah, that’s the elephant in the room. Also, am I crazy or is getting Ukraine nuclear missiles the answer to this artificial power imbalance…? Like, I know no NATO country can just pack and ship Ukraine nukes, but… If we provide them aid to defend their country and they saw fit to somehow purchase nuclear warheads and put them on their missiles… Wouldn’t that be a good thing?

They’re now a stable, mature, corruption-free country. If they publicly and loudly announced: “We now have nuclear missiles, and they’re aimed at Moscow and the homes of everyone in the Kremlin, deal with it.”

I’m definitely not one for nuclear proliferation, but that would get rid of Russia’s “trump” card and might be the only way they back down…

Samsonreturns ,

You do know that Ukraine willingly dismantled its nuclear arsenal? And I would hardly call their country corruption-free, but that’s a different topic altogether. I think this is why it is so important for NATO to be the backbone of the Ukrainian defense efforts, as they were the voices encouraging them to rid themselves of nuclear weapons.

Ukraine willingly dismantled its nuclear arsenal

In exchange for assurances that Russia wouldn’t invade them. They won’t make that mistake again. And it’s not just me, NATO and organizations around the world have vouched for Ukraine’s continuing efforts to root out and remove corruption.

Skua ,

There is the issue that at the time, Ukraine had absolutely no ability to actually pay to maintain a nuclear arsenal. Getting security agreements instead was a sensible thing to do, it just turns out that the ones they got weren't strong enough

Darkard ,

Not only got rid of their nukes, but in agreement with Russia that that their territory would be respected.

The nukes were their protection from Russia, and Russia stabbed them in the back after they got rid of them. Russia used the “NATO expansion” excuse, among others, as a reason to invade when it was Europe who worked to de-nuke Ukraine in the first place.
