Nach Angaben der Ukraine hat Russland zum ersten Mal in diesem Krieg eine Interkontinentalrakete abgefeuert

Well, time to rewatch Threads.

Odd show of force, but hey, what do I know at this point.

Russia knows that she can’t do it. the moment they turn to nuclear is the moment her military would cease to exist.

it’s been discussed, and the response is telling;

*An insight into the likely content of those discussions was provided by David Petraeus, a former director of the CIA and a four-star general, who indicated that the likely Western response to an atomic detonation in Ukraine would have been an overwhelming conventional assault involving Nato to neutralise Russian forces in the country.* 

*Speaking two years ago, Petraeus said: “Just to give you a hypothetical, we would respond by leading a Nato – a collective – effort that would take out every Russian conventional force that we can see and identify on the battlefield in Ukraine and also in Crimea and every ship in the Black Sea.”* 

*He added: “You don’t want to get into a nuclear escalation here. But you have to show that this cannot be accepted in any way.”* 

That means Russia will be staring at the barrel of the combined might of **SIX COUNTRIES** **from G7** alongside many others once a nuclear threat is detected. Not only that China will walk out on Russia. it’s really an instant KO for them.
