War is not a crime. Nations are sovereign and beholden to no one and no law. International law is a joke. Who’s the policeman? Who justifies the court decisions? It’s simolynwar by other means.
Sure nuking Finland would be unjustifiable. It will NOT lead to nuclear retaliation if we have any sense. We aren’t going into a nuclear holocaust because Finland. Have you lost your sense of reality ? I sure hope Biden is smarter than you, which is in itself a scary thought.
You think the USA and Europe wouldn't treat the nuclear annihilation of millions of Finnish civilians as a war crime? The Russians thought that no one would care about their invasion of Ukraine and that they would easily divide NATO. The exact opposite occurred. The nuclear annihilation of millions of innocent people would morally force the Europeans and the USA to respond in kind. It is already clear that the European governments are already only doing PART of what the civilian populations want. The people are more extreme than their governments. Even the German population--despite its government--are polling that they want to cut off oil and gas even though it will cause deep pain to the German economy, something traitors like Steinman are still resisting because of "Green' fears of reactivating their nuclear plants. How much more outrage and thirst for the blood of Russian orcs and goblins would manifest as a result of the slaughter of Finland?
I will add that Finland is an EU member, and the EU treaty already contains a mutual defense clause, albeit one that is more vague than the NATO version.
It is you that has lost your sense of reality if you think the Western world is going to ignore a new holocaust.
Were Russia to use nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear Finland then the probability of NATO conducting preemptive first-strike operations against a rogue nuclear armed Russia become absolute.
It’s not a game. The fact that stupid people in Russia think they can go around threatening to use nukes expecting everyone to bow before their awesomeness just speaks to how stupid they are.
All they’re doing is getting NATO out of its collective stupor to start taking defense a lot more seriously than health care or coddling the Muslims.
