    Yeah, that’s a good point to bring up. It would still be pretty risky though I would think. I don’t know what the policy of the US and other nuclear powers is exactly but I doubt anyone would be taking Russia at it’s word as to where the nuke was going. Hopefully we never have to find out though.

      The invaders would get the hint when citizens get an evacuation signal and bombers go airborne or silos are opened. The international community would be yelling at Ukraine to get the f out there as fast as they can. No actual nukes would be fired.

      Instead there wasn’t even opposition to speak of and just vague threats speech #7 from Putin.

      I suspect we might get at least 10% more serious about sanctions and consider possibly confiscating more yachts, maybe.
