I don't think the West ever threatened a nuclear response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Russia, however, repeatedly threatened a nuclear response to the West's military assistance to Ukraine. Those were the bluffs that got called.
- Someone 2y ago> I don't think the West ever threatened a nuclear response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I think so, too, but I also think it’s likely that, through silent diplomacy, there was a clear message “if you nuke the Ukraine, there will be a response in kind”. Without the USA, it’s hard to keep that message, though. Neither England nor France can respond in kind to a tactical nuclear weapon, as they don’t have any.
