I will not be surprised when, not if, Russia makes good on her warnings to use low radiation tactical nuclear weapons on French and British missile forces in Ukraine. I would not be surprised if the first F16 taking off from Germany or Romania didn’t result in a tactical nuclear strike on the airbase. If it lands somewhere else then there too.

What is a "low-radiation" tactical nuke? Nukes have the same fallout, the only difference is size, there's not low-radiation versions of them. And Russia might hit UK/Frogs in Ukraine, and that'd be justifiable (even though we left their guys alone in Vietnam), but if they actually hit Germany or Romania, you bet everyone else would move to kick Russia's ass. Even if NATO's defense treaty isn't invoked, at least several countries would go hot against Russia. And Russia has no chance there, they can't even beat just Ukraine, outside of long attrition warfare.


Keep using Ukraine to attack Strategic Nuclear Forces of Russia under the presence it is Ukraine alone doing this will result in a massive NATO defeat in Ukraine, one which I doubt will not be limited to only NATO in Ukraine but elsewhere.

Massive NATO defeat? Outside of Ukraine? How do you figure that? Russia has trouble conducting operations and supporting logistics right next to her border, much less a country or two away. Russia's navy is crap, although the icebreakers are pretty good. Russia's lost how many ships to a rogtag bunch of Ukrainians? What are the rest gonna do against an actual navy?

And all this doesn't even include these US. If we get involved, how is Russia possibly gonna fight a two-front war? They don't have anything in the Pacific, at best a speedbump or two and that's it. Russia's only chance is if Iran, China, and all the illegals get involved also. Still not gonna win, but they'd at least last a decent bit longer.

The US is pridefully corrupt u der Biden and associates. They have given orders to attack Russia. When Russia lights up a few NATO bases, or some third world proxy hits a US overseas base with Russia missile, can Biden blame Russia? France has been run out of two African counties this year, as well as the US. The global miscalculation by the US leadership should terrify normal people.

The days of the US defending NATO counties after we provoke a Russian retaliation are over. If Russia took out a couple NATO bases that are supporting Ukraine directly, the Pentagon is not going to risk an attack on the US over it.

The US is too greedy and selfish to risk itself for competitors in Europe.

Besides, Biden and Blinken have pissed China off and might have to fight that two front war you raised Russia might face.

Or Iran, N.Korea, or even Pakistan might all want to join in a front against US stipidity.
