This is turning into grindingly awful trench warfare.

I fervently hope NATO sends Ukraine every single weapon and military support they need to preserve Ukraine territory.

I am so sad that fighter jets and other items Ukraine needed at the start of the war, when they asked for it, were not allowed. There is nothing Putin could have done if they had been sent. Putin was not then in a position to escalate against NATO, or accidentally-on-purpose sabotage a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. But Biden and a few European leaders believed his threats, and as a result thousands of Ukrainians died in horrific circumstances; Russia was able to establish a land corridor to Crimea; and it will take SO MUCH MORE MONEY AND LIVES TO FLUSH THEM OUT.

Sigh.

Was anyone in the world 100% confident that madman Putin would not have used a nuclear weapon against the West if cornered?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the answer is no. [/quote]

Not 100%, no. But I would have taken that risk. Some European leaders really wanted to send those MiGs, and they were the ones nearest to Russia.[/quote]

That’s not how NATO works. And no leader is risking nuclear war.[/quote]

NATO works by "consensus" behind the scenes, which in practice means that the more powerful countries pressure the little ones to side with them. This is what happened in this case. If the USA was against MiGs, no one could give Ukraine MiGs. And God knows some European leaders wanted to throw all they had at Zelensky in February! Ukraine's eastern neighbors are more afraid of being next in the invasion schedule than of Putin going all-out scorched earth and using a tactical nuclear weapon, or sending a missile into Chernobyl.

Once Ukraine falls, the neighbors fall.
