Sadly I have been thinking along the same lines. Though it's hard to see how Russia could introduce a nuclear device. Yet there is a whole range of bomb types to chose from.. and yes, I think there is a willingness to show anger, which starts with a thinking that puts Ukraine in a position that it should be loyal to Russia, as a matter of honor. Like a wife should be loyal to her husband and otherwise suffers punishment, something we no longer want to be complicit with. So I would like to hope NATO has intelligence in place that would allow them to intercept the (likely) plane carrying the bomb. The possibilities here warrant NATO to be on high alert. But as this is likely a system made up of a spring and a mass, its tendency is to resonate to ever higher levels as energy is input. So countries like China need to step up their game to dampen or disable it. For those that are part of the system likely only cause it to oscillate more, until it fails by some level of mutual destruction. Which I don't think is an option China desires. Note that China controls whether Russia can subvert sanctions, or not. So the conflict inevitably means China needs to rise to the status of superpower, and as it does so, define itself in the relation it wants to have with state brutality, abuse of power and state control of the media.
