Simply not worth ruining a good thing...you keep reducing yourself... i'll carry on... there's no sense in discussing non event that, if it occurred, would world altering consequences...
You had your chance to delete the thread.
why, does it suck so bad you need it gone?
No. You do.
me? i'm havng a splendind time..in your thread that offers nothing..
No, you haven't made the case that Putin won't use nukes. You just assert it.
i dont have to make a case on a nothing.
Putin's a rat. He said he learned a lesson about cornered rats as a child. He could use nukes just as I outlined if it occurs to him. If he can make a "righteous" claim it will require a righteous counter claim. Start your rough drafts.
Sure. He could. But he won't. Because it changes the face of the Earth forever. Changes geopolitical strategy, forever. So no, he won't.
So your preference would be to tell Ukraine to surrender their territory to Putin?
Putin might order a nuclear strike, but my bet is that the Russian officers around him would disobey.
i dont think he can order one on his own. i think they would more than disobey
One could only hope.
He said he would if there was an existential threat to the country or the state. He sees himself as the state.
That's why I wrote him a narrative which @PhilFish is sillly enough not to delete. ha ha
In that sense there's been an existential threat for a long time.. NATO.
Huh?
Forget the top post? If Putin can make a righteous case to his half of the world and to his people that follow him, then he can and will use nukes.
