| Allies see risk that Putin thinks he can win a nuclear war against NATO |
| 2022-03-23 |
| [Washington Examiner] WARSAW — Russian President Vladimir Putin’s massive military offensive in Ukraine has prompted European officials on the edge of the war zone to contemplate the prospect that he might use nuclear weapons to achieve his objectives — or even consider an attack on a NATO-allied state. "Nuclear war is impossible to be won. ... This is the rule of warfare, that, actually, it’s the last resort," a senior European official said. "But, unfortunately, Russians actually somehow behave too lightly about it. And that causes the biggest trouble for us." |

| #5 Unless NATO troops cross into Russian territory Putin has no legitimate reason to use nukes and destroy Russia in the process. This is all back-channel bluffing. |

| #4 Russia is not calling this a war but a military operation they are doing nothing different than what the US has been doing for decades, except they are actually responding to a number of broken treaties, the murder of Russians in Donbas and Lugansk that has been going on for 8 FUCKING YEARS, bioweapons labs, theft of their property, loans that have been defaulted on, and nukes being placed on their border remember "no boots on the ground" in Syria? Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan? WMDs in Iraq? horrible dictators in Libya? extremism and ISIS in Yemen? etc etc etc etc when was the last time the US has fought an actual declared war and when was the last time it fought a war that was actually justified? i'm not anti-America or pro-Putin, I am anti all of this ^^^^^ f|||ck NATO and all of it's hypocritical unicornsh1t. NATO has killed millions of civilians in recent years without a single peep from the usual scumbags at the UN. NATO is the one who gave Ukraine cluster bombs that they have been dropping on Russians since 2014, which is a war crime in itself. NATO is the one who broke it's treaties. so as far as i'm concerned, NATO has no moral, legal, logical, or historical standing and can go get f||cked along with it's gl0b0h0m0 new world order great reset build back better inbred degenerate pefo handlers |

| #3 The risk is that Biden will push Putin into a corner where he sees no other option. |

| #2 Speaking of WMD, if those were biowarfare labs, how come they didn't release their holdings? With your back against the wall, its when you let that kind of stuff loose. |
