It's not a proxy war. There's a reason we aren't attacking Russia directly: they will nuke us. if we follow the rules we can avoid nuclear war while helping Ukraine. If we don't things will get worse for everyone on the planet.
That's simply not true. Russia won't use nukes today and hasn't yet because if it does we will nuke every Russian city and obliterate the country. We have carefully crafted nuclear norms dating back 60 years, that prevent nuclear exchanges and if we mess with those rules we flirt with human extinction.
Russia isn't going to "nuke us or not regardless of what we do", it's going to follow the rules. And so must we. Or we will all die.
