President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus. On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible".
If he uses any, the entire west needs to get involved directly. People cannot just throw nukes around because they are failing to win a war of conquest.
if putin uses nukes i hope we use the rubble of the kremlin as building blocks for a new russia state free of some of the shackles of the past. if he uses nukes we need to show its a one way street to your own antihalation.
also would causing a large scale nuclear disaster count as using nukes? i wouldn't put it past the russians at this point to do that.
And what the entire west is going to do about it? Express deep concerns?
What is the west going to do about a foreign power blowing up people with nukes? Exactly what we said we would do: direct and overwhelming conventional force against the country nuking others.
I think most likely a targeted bombing campaign, carried out by the NATO forces that have been mustered on Russia's borders to do so, knocking out Russian air bases and disabling ICBM launch sites.
There's always the chance that Russia launches nukes at the West in retaliation and the world ends, but that'd rely on enough Russians preferring the end of their own lives, their family's lives, and the lives of every person on the planet to ... Putin not winning his war.
