Those inter-continental missiles spiked with nukes in Russia do NOT need gasoline. And Russia has more of them than United States. Does anyone think Putin would hesitate to launch those nukes if US got directly involved in Ukraine war? Does anyone think at his age and rumors of cancer, Putin cares if he dies in a war?

Putin can’t launch a nuclear war without his own country being wiped out. Not only would he be President of a wasteland, and survivors would likely grant Lindsey’s request.

It’s nothing but a bluff. But it’s got a bunch of cowards running scared and willing to sacrifice the 44 million people in Ukraine.

But Ukraine is not bluffed. They are fighting for their lives.

It won’t come to nukes. Using nukes would likely escalate to all-out nuclear war, thereby handing a depopulated Russia to China. It would wipe Putin and Russia from the history books. The end result would be as if Russia had never existed, except as a part of China. So even if he doesn’t much care for his children and grandchildren and has no qualms about them being cremated alive, he won’t resort to nukes. The whole point of this expedition is so he can join “the Greats” - Vladimir, Peter and Catherine, not make Russia a tiny footnote in Chinese history.

If he could kill the US without getting Russia killed in return, we would already be a pile of ashes on his first day as president. Fortunately for us, he cannot.
