Clearly… making over the top nuclear threats is the best approach to taking land by force.

Because if a nuclear duel threat is all it takes to let Putin take over a Risk board without consequences… then yeah, Putin will take whatever he wants.

Does Putin’s nuclear threat mean that the West should just let Putin drop bombs over all of Eastern Europe and gobble up all the former Soviet states?

Where do you draw the line?

No pitiful child, but if disrespecting consequences of nuclear capacity is as commonplace as it is with imbecile opinions in this thread, we are going to incinerate ourselves and most of civilization with it.

I’m interested in heating his answer, md I like Reagan’s peace through strength policy.

General Zod is a Kryptonian. In Superman (the movie) the president bowed down to General Zod to try to save America from destruction.

Smart money is on Russian nukes nuking Russian soil as they fail to launch and armed while at the launch pad/silo or having old fuel so they don't make it across the border.

Compromise when there is something to compromise about, but sometimes you have to draw a line in the sand and mean it.

Blustering and rattling reeks of desperation. I assumed the mighty russian war machine would have its victory in at most three more days.
