We are, and always have been ready to fight with tactical nukes and their equivalent, I don’t know why you suddenly think that going nuclear is only possible for Russia.
NATO is ready to fight and includes most of the former USSR states, and most of NATO is in Europe, it is why we preposition our gear there and maintain tens of thousands of men, getting ready to meet Russia is nothing new to NATO.
NATO would be fighting from home, Russia would be trying to invade and having to deal with logistics.
I understand the difference between ready and open fire, yes. I just realized you’re crazy and it won’t matter what I say next I’ll still be kgb or something like it.
“I don’t know why you suddenly think that going nuclear is only possible for Russia.” So you want to nuke what city on Friday? I’m guessing there won’t be a huge crowd at that rally.
“Russia would be trying to invade and having to deal with logistics.” That’s at the Russian border.
