Vlad has openly threatened to use nukes so there’s no reason why DJT souldn’t make this threat.
“Vlad has openly threatened to use nukes”
Openly threatened nukes if we drop bombs on Moscow, or we or NATO openly conduct deep strikes or launch missiles into Russia. That’s kind of an important point. If Russian missiles were hitting in the UK, or in the USA... think we would threaten nukes?
There is a deranged bunch in DC now that truly believe they can conduct a conventional war with Russia, and they will accept defeat and never dare go nuclear.... because, they just wouldn’t dare.
Russia is nowhere near as strong as us conventionally, but we are taking the wrong lesson. Imagine a feeble old man, walking with a cane... a bunch of toughs start shoving him around. He pulls his 38 and tells them to stop... they laugh and keep it up. Because he wouldn’t dare...who would shoot someone for just getting pushed around?
Back someone weak with a fight stopping weapon into a corner, steal from them and humiliate them all you can. And they sometimes mean what they say.
