Russia Ukraine war, page-2216

Putin has raised the abhorrent spectre of a nuclear option - could it be a sign of desperation



The thinking goes that by possessing nuclear arms - and only a few countries do, including the UK, US, and China, though not Ukraine - a state would never use them against another nuclear power or its allies because it would mean mutually assured destruction as they would fire back.


If the enemy does not back down, then Russia could in theory launch a limited - in relative terms - nuclear strike to inflict such punishing damage as to force a victory. An abhorrent thought - making for a deliberately escalatory threat by the Kremlin

Will UKRAINE SURRENER ..........NO!
