This isn’t a playground we’re talking about.
And incidentally it was nuclear blackmail by the USA that ended the Cuban Missile Crisis. It has precedent and a successful track record. And Ukraine is a lot closer to Russia than Cuba is to the USA.
Ask yourself what’s worse for Putin: using nukes and declaring victory, or an ignominious defeat and spending the rest of his life in whatever circumstances a deposed Russian leader is likely to get. Are you really so certain he won’t send up the balloon?

The USA wasn't incrementally annexing Russian territory at the time. > Are you really so certain he won’t send up the balloon? Yes. Someone throws him out a window if that order goes out.
