The Russians can escalate and that includes using nuclear weapons. They’ll stop if Zelenskyy resigns
The propaganda in this war has reached new heights.
He won’t resign.
The Russians are stuck, so yeah they’ll have to up the ante to save face.
If Putin uses nukes on the Ukraine, all bets are off (and I don’t believe he is insane enough to do so) and WWIII officially begins. China would immediately move on Taiwan and the West would go NUTS trying to decide what to do....certainly Brandon would....
We have been sitting on the brink for decades believing NOBODY is dumb enough or crazy enough to use nukes (with so many other countries also having them). Let us hope that MAD continues to carry the day.
Vlad was counting on a quick, relatively bloodless action and he ain’t getting it. Now he has to break out the big guns or risk becoming a punchline.
So THAT’S where Putin went wrong. He didn’t cave to the 57 alphabet genders! Other than that he’s just great. [eyeroll]

Either that or Putin will be deposed in a military coup.
” panicking the country, firing missiles at residential buildings ‘at random’ to ‘intimidate’ the Ukrainians, trigger mass army desertions, national surrender, and Zelensky’s flight from the country”
IOW terrorism.
TOS-1 ain’t flamethrowers, it’s fuel/air (thermobaric) missiles. Kinda like Stalin Organs on steroids...US thought it up in the ‘60s. Fun stuff...not
Ok, so what’s the difference between a FOAB and a MOAB?
If Putin uses nukes on the Ukraine the french might throw a few back
That’s how I see it also.
There’s clearly no reason to fear them after this debacle.
He’ll have to go Grozny on Kyiv and other cities.
Let us hope that MAD continues to carry the day.
***MAD is MUTUAL Assured Destruction. It only works if it’s Mutual. The Ukes don’t have nukes any more, so it aint mutual.
Putin will probably allow civilians to leave Kyiv. Then bomb the city and reduce it to rubble. It’ll end up looking like Gronzy, Chechnya.
Moor sounded plenty smart until right there. Stopped me from reading any more.
Good lord, we need a heap of Zelensky in our wimpified USA.
I don't think so. Putin is too strong and too paranoid.
I predict, Putin’s adviser will stop him if he gives the order for a nuclear weapon.
I agree. See my post 16.
