    Go on…..

    Do you want the US to just back down or make concessions whenever someone threatens nuclear attacks? Seems like a losing strategy

    I wonder what first-use of nukes would do with domestic Russian opinion. Would they be emboldened through state media and go all-in like German neighborhoods in WW2 or would the unrest flood through the gates against a evil invasion?

    Using nukes would probably make Ukranians direct artillery targets in Russian land and key untouched areas in Crimea. I'm guessing western diplomats negotiating for peace with Putin underscore red lines on the daily,

    The state media has been slinging it around as the solution to every problem for so long that I'm guessing the population thinks nuking anybody who disrespects them is Russia's birthright. I don't think the population would bat an eye until the missiles started coming back from the other direction.

    using nukes would spell the end of Ukraine, Russia, NATO, the US...there would be no protests, since it would all be over in minutes.

    move to Punta Arenas.

    Doggo looks traumatized. Glad he was reunited with his owner.
