    It’s funny because most people, probably including this twat, think that WWII ended because of nuclear weapons. In fact, Germany was already defeated and Japan was still fighting after the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There only reason they finally stopped was because Russia turned on them and was no longer neutral vs China. That’s finally when Japan caved.

    So nukes will do nothing for Russia either in this conflict. It’s a scare tactic at best.
