the politicians, press & public are all vastly underestimating the odds of tactical nuclear weapons being used here
these are not doomsday bombs which the Russians would be too terrified to use
we are talking 1 to 10 kiloton battlefield nukes
they used to pop these right outside Las Vegas in the 1950's
so the idea that the Russians, if they were losing badly, would never resort to the use of, is deeply misguided

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
in terms of how America could respond
under the updated Obama Doctrine 'SIOP'
America could, but would not necessarily respond with nuclear weapons
the Obama Doctrine is in essence a return to the 1960's doctrine of Flexible Response
America would more likely leverage NATO's conventional superiority, and decline to use the B61 right away
but it would probably be World War Three fully engaged at that point
and it would begin to escalate to something like the Cuban Missile Crisis on steroids

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
due to exponentially fiercer resistance than they were clearly expecting
the Russians may be downsizing back to the "Smitty" option now
taking all of Ukraine is a bridge too far
yet there is no going back now
so consolidate all forces to the east of Dnieper to make an East Ukraine with a trace along the defensible river line

Smitty is the real deal

Re: Meanwhile in Ukraine
A couple of days ago I wrote that I was wondering about Putin’s mental state. Now Fox News is talking about Putin’s mental state.
