47. As you say, nuclear weapons might not be used, BUT dirty bombs have floated around from Russia

Fri Oct 13, 2023, 01:22 PM

Oct 2023

since the last missile disarmament treaty was signed -- nuclear warhead material from hundreds of Russian missiles.

Russia could easily drop dirty bombs in Ukraine,
and has likely already sent dirty bombs to Iran for Hezbollah to drop on Israel.
Down will go Damascus and Iran, but I'm pretty sure the US response in Ukraine will only escalate if the fallout hits nearby NATO nations.

All that might not escalate to WWIII but it will sure come f'n close.
