At this point, it seems as if Biden wants to get into a hot war with Russia.  [/quote]

Do our politicians know about Russia's military doctrine about use of nuclear weapons?
It has very low threshold.
This is more dangers than during Cuban missile crisis.[/quote]

Nah.  It's not.  If Russia nukes then they get nuked.  Mutually assured destruction.

Russia invaded Ukraine in a war of territorial expansion (and is doing horribly).  Russia has committed mass crimes and atrocities on a level comparable to Milosevic and Taylor.  Their goal is the complete destuction of the concept of Ukraine.  If they want it to stop they can stop it.

Lets assume they use small tactical nuclear weapon against Ukraine, then what will we do?[/quote]

Then Russia will have declared a war of agression against the world and a medium sized nuke is used on a comparable site in Russia.

Russia has agency.  You don't seem to understand what country is the protagonist in this story.[/quote]

If we do what you suggested,
We won’t be here to discuss about it.[/quote]

If we dont then we won't be here to discuss about it (sic)

If we do as you suggest, that would be unilateral unconditional global surrender.  Once a nuke is fired in anger (petulance) it's all over anyway.  If there is no response then there is no detterent.  If you are really scared about this scenario then you need to be praying every night that Russia loses and working to ensure that the entire world stands together opposed to their unprovoked aggressive war of conquest and genocide.[/quote]

It would be utter insanity to nuke Russia because they used a tactical nuke on Ukraine. Should the US nuke Pakistan if Pakistan nukes India? Should we nuke Israel if they nuke Iran? There is no treaty that requires us to come to the defense of Ukraine, and starting armageddon over a low yield tac nuke is ridiculous. If Russia uses nukes on Ukraine all it will do is further unite the world against Russia and make it that much harder for "neutral" countries like India/China to justify their continued business with them. [/quote]

Incorrect.

We have the capability for a nuclear decapitation strike on Russia.  Doing so would be an act of self-preservation, not insanity.[/quote]

You don’t know about the Russian dead man’s switch[/quote]

Are you referring to the nuke hidden in the attic of the Russian embassy in DC?  [/quote]
