Why? What do you think would be different now?
Do you think Ukraine would have used them against Russia in response to a ground invasion that has used only conventional weapons thus far?
- lostlogin 3y ago> ground invasion that has used only conventional weapons thus far? And chemical. And has violated most other rules of warfare (as does every other war). Rape, genocide and murder of civilians is a bit too common in this conflict. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/06/russia-accused-of-using-chemical-gas-attacks-against-ukrainian-soldiers https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/06/russia-accused...
- Yeul 3y agoNuclear weapons work as a pretty good deterrent because it's literally impossible to know if your opponent will push the button. Even Russians, famous for their disregard for human life, would not take the risk.
- decafninja 3y agoNo, but working nukes might have prevented a Russian invasion in the first place. Russia having nukes is also a big reason NATO is tiptoeing around to avoid offending Putin too severely.
