Would the West intervene in a nuclear war limited to Ukrainian territory?
- tough 4y agoYou know radioactivity residues travel fast, and to any direction right?
- vincnetas 4y agoIn such case i would open NATO armoury for Ukrainians and gift them all the shiny toys they are willing to take.
- lolc 4y agoI wonder what that scenario would bring the Russian army. Tactical nukes against military targets are not that much more effective than a bunch of conventional missiles. Nuking the population would be hard to justify in their narrative. On the other side, I don't know who would intervene. The risk of further escalation might lead to the acceptance of nuclear genocide limited to Ukraine. And Ukrainian capitulation would be swift if Russia demonstrated they were willing to attack the population with nuclear bombs. The whole scenario is difficult to imagine. The last time civilians got nuked is 77 years ago. And the Japanese people had nobody who could have retaliated for them.
- _ph_ 4y agoI would assume so. Probably not with a nuclear answer, but some restricted air strikes against Russian troops inside Ukrainian territory.
