President Joe Biden said on Monday the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is "real", days after denouncing Russia's deployment of such weapons in Belarus. On Saturday, Biden called Putin's announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus "absolutely irresponsible".

If he uses any, the entire west needs to get involved directly. People cannot just throw nukes around because they are failing to win a war of conquest.

Time to go relisten to Dan Carlin's "Logical Insanity" episode.

if putin uses nukes i hope we use the rubble of the kremlin as building blocks for a new russia state free of some of the shackles of the past. if he uses nukes we need to show its a one way street to your own antihalation.

also would causing a large scale nuclear disaster count as using nukes? i wouldn't put it past the russians at this point to do that.
