We may be in WW3 no matter what we do in Ukraine. So might as well send in all the weapons and planes that they want, it will not change the outcome. Russia wants to draw NATO into the conflict whether now, or later when they drive on into the Baltics.

Absolutely Russia/Putin could deploy a nuke somewhere as a demo. That was my theory long before I read this. Unlikely they would use a nuke against NATO. It's not impossible but they know it will trigger a like response. Effectively dooming the Russian empire, maybe all of us, who knows?

Personally I'd rather turn it all in a smoking heap of radioactive rubble than live under the boot of a dictator like Putin. Without freedom what's the point?
