The US can certainly back down. They would much rather lose Ukraine (and perhaps even more of Europe) than start a nuclear war.
Also, "things will proceed to nuclear" means that you think Putin will initiate the end of human (and most plant) life on Earth.
I don't think the richest man alive, who seems to desire material possessions and power over almost anything else, would want the world to end completely. He could leave office now and have an incredibly pleasant life.

Actually, I think the initiation will come from the US side. Read up on the Wolfowitz Doctrine. The US will not allow that they lose the 'Number One', 'Exceptional' crown and will do anything to prevent that.
- smt88 5y agoA 30-year-old document written by someone of a completely different era (and political party) to the current administration has nothing to do with anything. Joe Biden is not going to initiate nuclear strikes. Russia has automated nuclear weapons that would launch without human intervention, leading to the end of the world. If Biden doesn't initiate nuclear strikes and Russia wins this war, the only thing lost would be Ukraine. If Biden does initiate unclear strikes, the entire world would be lost. Biden is not going to sacrifice all human life to save Ukraine. Read up on mutually-assured destruction.

I hate to break this to you but the neocons are still well in control of the US. Wolfowitz is a neocon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wolfowitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wolfowitz
