Where do you people get the “nuclear exchange” idea from? Biden doesn’t have jack shit for the political support he’s going to need for an “exchange “

The Russians can deliver a small tactical weapon above a German or Polish NATO base and the US ain’t gonna do shit.

Which is worse if the go small tactical nuke against NATO?
Blinking and surrendering territory and populations or responding in kind and threatening the use of the strategic ones?
Terrible choices but part of the job.
Sometimes you make a stand and live (or not) with your consequences.
I think we are really there and now.
Feel free to please change my mind.

You are buying into the scare tactic, but, there isn't such a thing as a tactical small nuclear weapon. A nuclear weapon, no matter the size, is still a nuclear weapon, and Russia would pay very heavily for its use, and that would mean the end of Russia as the Russians have known it.
