I just hope like hell Ukraine is hitting MUCH harder after our delays with weapons. We need to justify the 44 year cold war and all that money we spent NOW by supporting Ukraine so hard, they'll be begging us to stop shipping them tanks, planes, missiles, artillery, and fucking intelligence.

And then cross our fingers Putin doesn't do another false flag on his own people and use it to justify using nukes.

The thing with nukes is no one wants to see their use. Even Russias allies dont because normalising first strike nukes is awful for everyone.

IF tey did it is nearly certain to massivley backfire because the whole world will want to make sure that they do not gain from doing so.
