Erm...... As much as I agree with the sentiment, there's a whole host of likely outcomes that are very fucking bad if this happens

MAD is the justification of countries having nuclear arsenals

It's a shame more people don't celebrate Arkhipov Day. Everyone in the nuclear chain of command really ought to.

Ukraine already struck Moscow I think a least 2-3 times....

Russia did nothing but normies sure do love talking about mad, makes them feel sophisticated 🤡

Russia thinks it can beat Ukraine with conventional forces, though. Or, at minimum, that it can retaliate against Ukraine with them. Russia might be and hopefully is wrong if Ukraine's supporters hold firm and don't fuck about, but the Russian government and military can reasonably hold that position

The US, though? There's fuck all that Russia can do to the US with conventional forces

Yes and the fact that Ukraine has been de-nuclearised since 1994 is not anything to do with this at all 🤡
