looking for info on the whole russia-ukraine thing 

so what.... exactly was putin/russia expecting to get out of this whole thing anyway? it seems like all they've managed to do so far is make an enemy of basically the entire world and i don't see how they could have expected it to turn out differently

@fox_news the scary thing is, i'm not entirely sure they *won't* do that

re: decision theory, moderate infohazard 

@fox_news @Felthry I agree with the fox. Those possibilities are unlikely enough, and so beyond your ability to influence, that they are only worth worrying about if - and only if - they happen.

re: decision theory, moderate infohazard 

@fox_news @Felthry And there's a number of factors operating against those odds, like the chain of personnel between orders being given and orders being executed breaking down, and things like equipment failures, so I'm inclined towards the lower end of that ballpark figure.

It's not impossible, nor is it probable. It's merely possible, and it is a possibility that cannot be fully accounted for nor controlled from here.
