      Do you want a nuclear war? Because this is how you get a nuclear war.

      I want the war in Ukraine to stop, I’m just not confident a direct conflict between Russia and NATO is our best option because we know Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate, and nobody wants that to happen.

          If even 10% of Russia’s nuclear missiles work, we’re (the West) in a really bad spot.

          That said, if Putin invades a NATO country, I think NATO should use any means necessary to neutralize Russia’s nuclear capability.

        We don’t know that Putin is willing to order a nuclear strike if he gets desperate. They want everyone to think that because they hope it makes people afraid of interfering in their shitty behavior.

        Apparently, it’s effective on at least some people.

          We don’t know that he won’t. I think he would if his position was threatened, or the Russian people faced certain loss.

          I don’t think Putin will attack Poland or anyone in NATO, nor do I think he will use nukes as long as he doesn’t risk losing everything.

          But we should always assume that he will use nukes if he gets desperate.

            No we shouldn’t. We can think that’s a possibility, but assuming that he will is simply bad policy.

            Also, he can’t simply “press the red button” because he gets upset.

    Putin will remind Lukashenko that tribute is required in the form of virgin humans, not just virgin mammals of any species.

    Sounds a lot like Putin preparing for yet another false flag.
