You should have stopped at that, the truth.
For months you guys have argued that because Putin attacked a so called "innocent Ukraine" he was capable of any horrible act, but now "you don't think" he is capable of escalating a proxy war with nuclear weapons when his army is already in the thick of fighting.
It is the scale of things, being embarrassed by the people you are invading next door doesn’t lead to being so annoyed Putin ends his and Russia’s existence, in nuclear fire.
A phone call from Putin would not lead the military to launch a nuclear war when they know Russia is not being attacked by anyone or even being threatened by anyone.
It would basically be launching nuclear war while at peace.
