Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Metal Biker]

Do you think at that point Putin would care about winning he would want to take as many with him

Do you think at that point it would even matter?

Mutually Assured Destruction means we all lose. But it's not enough of a deterrant to just allow Putin to get away with invading and threatening sovereign peaceful nations, what you appear to be suggesting, because he could just continue to threaten the world until he gets what he wants. Let him threaten and bluster the use of nuclear weapons all he wants. He uses them, we respond. Yet he hasn't used any. Funny that.

The use of nucs being banned by international law is irrelevant to Putin. He has already provided the rest of the world sufficient justification to " come and arrest me" and no one has.

Personally, I could see him use dirty bombs should things get worse for him, even small tact nucs as he has no regard for human life, even Russian life

Grade A nonsense here. What possible purpose would a "dirty bomb" have? Same response from NATO, but zero destructive power and makes it much more difficult for a Russian advance.

'Opening gambit'? You mean had an opinion?

That's what your problem was? Nuclear weapons are banned under international law, so NATO would use that as justification to intervene? I never even stated it was the 'red line', we're already beyond that point, use of nuclear weapons would only add further justification. Unless the use of nukes is blase in your opinion.

What you wrote and what you meant didn't come over very clear.

Your last sentence though is garbage

I said tactical nukes at the start, by that point he wouldn’t care, NATO would step in, my pint was if Chiba get involuthongs escalate quickly, look I’m out now you say he won’t I say a cornered mad man would let’s leave it at that.
