    Can NATO just say enough is enough? Attacking food storage will have as large of an effect as the use of a nuclear weapon. The loss in food supply, in theory, would be directly responsible for tens of thousands of starvation related deaths.

      NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn’t a member but I support it’s application to join.

            NATO has stated that if nuclear weapons were used outside of NATO territory, they could income article 5 if nuclear fallout enters a territory.

            Not a direct attack in that scenario, just consequences from an attack on a non-nato country, which starvation from a lack of food is also technically a consequence from an attack on a non-nato country.

      1 nuke is launched, there’s a VERY good chance every single nuke on Earth is launched. Literally everyone dies in that scenario. I agree, attacking the grainaries is evil, but it’s several orders of magnitude less severe than a nuclear bomb. For instance, the 2 nukes dropped on Japan killed almost a quarter million people. Modern nuclear bombs are tens of times more powerful than Fat Man and Little Boy.
