It is not just my opinion, it is basic reality. What is Russia going to do? Cut off the gas again?
That will not happen, it is just fearmongering and giving into it is just weakness. The Russians know this, and so they attempt to prey on weak European stomachs.
Ukrainian lives are European lives too, Troy, and it will not happen, it would trigger mutually assured destruction. Do you think for one second that if Moscow nuked Berlin that the UK, French, US and China would not immediately retaliate? Because that is what would happen. Putin seems to be a self preservationist to me. He employs a food tester, during covid he made his ministers sit a ridiculously long table to protect himself.
The idea of nukes is preposterous.
