I just don’t see what Russia loses from doing so anymore. All of NATO is already attacking them, so the only real further escalation is nukes.
NATO is already sending all its gear to Ukraine, so no new gear will magically appear if Russia starts striking Poland and Romania. In the grand scheme, it would actually make things easier for Russia since they can take out command, control, and repair centers used by Ukraine that they currently allow to exist in NATO countries.
I agree that Russia is reluctant to a fault and that Russia should do more, and I agree that NATO’s talk of striking against Russia if Russia attacked Poland and Romania is mostly bluster, but as always the U.S. is the major problem/worry. While U.S. would likely be outmatched by Russia, at least in the short term possibly, in the medium-long term, the U.S. would turn even further into a rabid dog to attack Russia and the Global South in general, and we all know that the capitalist media would slander and gaslight Russia for daring to defend themselves, and the corrupt billionaire cracker fucks of the West/Global North would probably mysteriously “find” multiple billions of dollars of loans and stored equipment and diplomatic favors to escalate the conflict, since in the west, money doesn’t matter so much for the ruling class parasites.
Keep in mind, the Kursk offensive’s goal seemed to be to take control of the Kursk nuclear power plant to threaten a nuclear meltdown on Russian soil and/or to take control of nuclear weapons nearby. In other words, Ukraine tried to directly threaten nuclear war as a bargaining chip.
If Ukraine and NATO wants nukes that badly, Russia should deliver them the experience, whether via nukes or conventional munitions. I honestly do not give a shit anymore what happens to the Ukronazis. If they want to get glassed that badly, Russia should give it to them.
