    No argument with your second point, but there’s close to a zero chance that Putin wpuld use nukes in this conflict. It would make no sense and result in turning Russia into a sheet of glass, regardless of what damage he inflicted on the rest of the world. The threat of nuclear war benefits Putin, but the reality has no upsides for him, only down sides. I think nuclear war was just a convenient excuse to delay the delivery of arms.

      He’s already made thousands of bad decisions with this conflict. He’s a petty little tyrant. He’d do anything to preserve his ego.
