I think he'd be smart enough to not want to take the risk of destroying so much. Yeah he's a psychopath but who would gamble with that kind of destruction... I guess if the nuke failed to explode that's another consideration but I'd assumed even if the air defences worked in any sense, the nuke would still detonate? If that happened in the air, wouldn't it kill/maim a lot of people and taint land with the radioactivity?
What worries me is that the UK nukes are (I think) unable to be used without US authority so at the moment they're essentially useless even as a deterrent. I saw Kier Starmer giving that speech recently and yep, we're in trouble lol, he's no good at hiding his feelings. I almost feel sorry for him, except that I remember what he did to become the labour leader.
Yeah, I heard that. But I think that Ukraine couldn't actually use the nukes so they were of limited use, like maybe they could have been repurposed or something. But yeah no doubt about it, Ukraine got screwed and now they're finishing the job. I hope they sell their resources to anyone else, China or North Korea before they let Russia or the US have them.
