    Copied from my other reply to a similar message:

    Their nukes probably aren’t even operational. They weren’t maintaining their other equipment, so odds are they aren’t maintaining the nukes, which if they use they already lost, so are effectively worthless except as a threat.

    Assuming their nukes work, they can’t nuke Ukraine. The reason why nukes aren’t used is because the damage is uncontrollable. The fallout would effect large portions of Russia too. Think about how much the Chernobyl event effected Russia, and it wasn’t a weapon. If Ukraine is nuked then they damage themselves as well as all surrounding nations, which would bring NATO into the fight. If they can’t beat Ukraine they sure as hell don’t stand a chance against NATO.

    Basically, the nuke threat is a bluff. Stop worrying about it and stop spreading their propaganda. Spreading fear of nukes is spreading Russia’s message. Please use your brain and stop fearing it. It’s not worth considering.
