You have no idea what you're talking about; are you sure you want to risk nuclear war on the basis of your knowledge? It's far to dangerous to trust to hot takes on HN. I would listen to the experts. This is how wars actually start - ignorant people, ignorant publics, demanding escalatory actions. > why is having a defensive alliance in Ukraine more existential than having it in Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Norway which also border Russia? The answer is pretty obvious. The Baltic states joined NATO when the relationship with Russia wasn't adversarial. Also, Russia wasn't at war with them.

As far as I know no one is making nuclear decisions on the basis of my HN posts. I still think Russia is full of it. A lot of wars start because Russia decides it wants to start them to grab some neighbors stuff including WW2 where they allied with Hitler to get half of Poland.
