At the end of the day it comes down to nukes. I would not want to bet that 10% of their nukes aren't capable, and that's more than enough to send us back to horse and buggy days.
I REALLY don't want to do without my hot shower in the morning just because our corrupt politicians had side hustles going on in some European backwater.
Vladimir Putin is not suicidal. He knows his limitations and he’s barely keeping his head above water in the Ukraine. He’s hanging on waiting for Trump to order Zelensky to the negotiating table.
You are essentially surrendering before even the first nuke flies. According to your logic, Putin can do anything he wants, demand anything he wants, because the alternative will always be - NUKES!

Problem there is that nukes are primarily area-denial weapons, in a tactical or local environment.
Howya going to free the oppressed Russian minority with nukes, and then populate the scorched polluted ground with your own people?
