well if they are gonna lob nukes in there it would make sense to get your guys out.
Putin really wants this in his legacy. He wants to use some nukes. No question about it.
Putin strikes me as someone that would nuke his own troops if he thought they had underperformed.
Putin using nukes means every NATO country starts hosting nukes or building their own and aiming them at the Soviets. The odds of a first strike against Russia go way up if Russia uses nukes on a non-nuclear Ukraine.
Obviously the end result here must include demilitarizing and denazifying Russia and breaking it up once and for all.
