A Hard Look at the Risk of a Putin-Ordered Tactical Nuke (nationalreview.com)

The west really really really care about Ukraine. That’s so odd. If the reason is strategic, then Putin is right to care as much. In fact, more, since it has a more direct effect on his country then the US or most of NATO. Or perhaps it is because it’s a country of white people, while people in Iraq, Syria, Libia, and Afganistan are some shade of brown. Who knows. Perhaps they are just childish and arrogant, thinking it’s ok for them to invade countries but not for others to do the same. Seems very hypocritical. Makes you wish they got thought a lesson by Russia. Too bad their silly woke citizens would be the ones suffering. It’s also interesting how they have iconized the enemy into a single person: Putin - just like for Hitler. If that’s not propaganda I don’t know what it is. While at the same time they have vilified all citizens of Russia - but wait - they did it for a good purpose: to solicit their action for regime change. Would it be fair to do all this to the US next time they invade a country? I’d like to hear the mental gymnastic of those who think “oh, but that would be different”.
