Yeah, there are very big risks associated with conducting coups and providing weapons to the US backed former state of Ukraine on Russia’s border.

Sitting safely on the sidelines handing out weapons might not actually be that safe if pushed too far.

They never actually justified the use of nuclear weapons themselves but they have enough of them to turn a hundred cities to salt, all at once, all across the globe.

The good thing is it is clear they do not need nukes to fight poor proxy Ukraine.

“...the US backed former state of Ukraine.”

FORMER state of Ukraine? Kind of getting ahead of yourself, don’t you think?

"They never actually justified the use of nuclear weapons themselves but they have enough of them to turn a hundred cities to salt, all at once, all across the globe."

Russia would not be allowed to hit a hundred cities with nukes. If Russia launched nukes, though, all Russian nuclear facilities and other military facilities would be shot out of existence, and Russia would no longer be a nuclear threat. The world would celebrate and live in relative peace.

Russia would only be enlarging its bad public affairs reputation by attempting to launch nukes. Nukes don't turn cities to salt.
