Any mention of such considerations on Twitter, where it is always 1938We Are On a Path to Nuclear War - War on the Rocks
In war, nothing is inevitable and not much is predictable. But the war in Ukraine has a direction that observers can see and that we should name. Whatwarontherocks.com
Will Putin use nuclear weapons?
Will he or won’t he? What would be the impact of the use of a nuclear weapons? We provide answers to your questions about Putin and Russia’s nuclear threat.www.icanw.org
People should read this, condemn Putin's actions, and then google how many times the USA and the UK have said "nothing is off the table" in a military context over the past 20 years, and maybe reflect on whether or not such mindless rhetoric has added up to a safer world.
No one running a state with nuclear weapons will be wholly free from blame if a nuclear bomb goes off in this war.
Overtly, probably never except maybe in the last few weeks. Implicitly, what does "nothing is off the table" mean? I'm not reading any "but not nuclear" clauses. Here's some page 1 examplesAt the risk of being difficult- how many times in the past 20 years have Uk or USA overtly or implicitly threatened to use nuclear weapons in your opinion? Just trying to understand the point.
I'm just trying to say that history exists before 2014 and we should hold people to the same standards.Agree the former Cold War powers are ultimately still responsible for any subsequent nuclear exchange

Who are you quoting there? Stop making up things I didn't say just so you can get mad at them."But America did it, so it's basically ok for Russia to do it" is the most tired, worn out trope of this whole thing
With the side serving of "if Putin does it, it's actually America's fault really, like what did you expect?"
Your the one who thinks more war will end the war. Explain how this will end well for Ukraine and Putin will back down because I'm all ears to hear a practical way of ending this war.There's a murderous madman running a country, but it's always everyone else's fault
It won't fucking matter whose fault it is and who was purest in their heart of hearts when the mushroom clouds are rising all over Europe.The distinction is that the US and UK say these things and no one goes off with their hair on fire and writes endless stories about how it's actually going to happen - because they know they are basically just restating the status quo
Putin rattles his missiles and it's all "He's going to do it!!!" with a subtext of 'why did you force him to do it?'
The problem is and remains Putin
Fake news and 5 pinnhochoes for this post. There's only been one thinkpiece posted recently, and that was by Pete.This thread is kinda thinkpiece arms race
