Russia already stated that they will do precisely that, so this moves us one step closer to a nuclear holocaust. Hope it was worth it.

This comment is for anyone who is experiencing nuclear-phobia, kinda like I do, to which I strictly mean living with a state of fear or dread about a nuclear apocalypse, this development does puts the world one step closer. It's okay to be scared by that, I know I am. It doesn't mean the world is one step away from a nuclear apocalypse. The world has been closer to the brink of nuclear war before and we're all still here. It's okay to breathe.

I don’t know where you get your nuclear vibes from, but we have hardly been closer, actually.

Six months ago: Doomsday Clock remains at a minute and a half to midnight in 2024—closest ever to apocalypse

And things have only worse since then. This week: Russian warships, nuclear submarine enter Havana Harbor under watch of U.S. destroyers

Russia has stated many things they will do, but haven't then actually done. Why would this time be different? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lines_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War

Pretty much none of those were actually stated by Russia. The trend has been that it's the west that make up these red lines, then crosses them and says, see nothing happened. Last I checked, the actual red line Russia set out was Ukraine joining NATO, and when that red line was ignored the war started. This notion that you can just keep pushing a nuclear superpower and nothing bad will happen is imbecilic beyond belief.
