The dangers of the Russo-Ukrainian war

 There are at least two major dangers:

  1. The war escalates to World War III. How many countries are already involved in this war and how many more (e.g. Belarus) will become involved? How much are Western countries providing in support of the Ukrainian defense forces?
  2. The Russian hardliners in the Kremlin together with Putin the Terrible could indeed come to the conclusion that the rest of the world is attacking Russia and its interests. Thus, the threats of using nuclear or other ABC weapons may become indeed a last resort measure according to their logic. 
It would be very wise for Western countries, especially the U.S., not to ratchet up the support for the Ukrainian defense forces. An urgent review of this support is in order! Western countries ought to tread very carefully!
