putin use nuclear weapon ?

[MisterVeritis]

Only if they use nuclear weapons first. Did you miss that?

Do you think your soft subtleties will have any impact?

Will you decide not to destroy Russia politically, economically, and militarily if they invade and achieve their goals with a million men in the spring?

What have you been talking about nonstop since March?

[Cletus]

You have just threatened Putin and Russia. Why wouldn't Putin use his nuclear weapons?
Yes, I would. You have made it clear you intend to destroy Russia.

Oh, nonsense. I have not suggested anything of the sort. Admitting Ukraine to NATO poses no threat, direct or indirect to Russia. All it does is put the brakes on Russian expansionism.

How long have you been suffering from "the Vapors"?

The Russians believe Ukraine joining NATO is a threat to its existence. I showed you a map of NATO's expansion since the 1990s. It is not Russian expansion the world should be concerned with. It is NATO expansion.

There is no reason the former Soviet Republics should not be permitted to form any alliances they wish. If they wish to join NATO, Russia's concerns should not have any influence on the decision to admit them.

Then war it is. Thanks for that clarification.
