Nobody here believes it's not possible that Russia could use a nuke. They're saying it's unlikely and it shouldn't dictate our decisions. It seems like there's not an actual disagreement here, so have a good day.

Well, this thread for me was literally about:

"Russia will not use nukes."

"The United States will not fill the Colorado River with gasoline and light it on fire."

Would you embark on some argument about how technically they might actually be able to do that?

I am interested in arguing about real things.

It is real, that russia made nuclear threats and expresses increasing frustration that their threats get ignored.

It is also real, that many people, also here, say the threats are completely empty.

And I am sceptical about that claim.

No idea how your gasoline river fits in that reality.
