Trump promised Biden more icecream? Or promised to indict Harris? :D

I think if Russia was losing, or at least stalemated, the risk of a limited nuclear escalation would be high.

The Russians wouldn't be flattening all of Ukraine, just one high-profile target with Western advisers in it, to make Scholz wet himself in public and spawn new memes.

But they're advancing, and Putin is a lazy, comfortable old Boomer who spent a decade putting this off.

Unless something happens to Putin, or our Woke WonderWuffen suddenly become value for money, the nukes aren't flying.
