Just because he hasn’t pulled the trigger doesn’t mean there isn’t an actual red line.

• Sabinus 6mo ago
  The red line is an invasion of Moscow or a strike on Russian nuclear capabilities. Everything else is just an order for preemptive suicide.

    Ukraine already executed a successful strike on Russian nuclear capabilities. In 2025 Operation “Spider’s Web” completely destroyed several irreplaceable nuclear-capable strategic bombers. https://www.csis.org/analysis/how-ukraines-spider-web-operation-redefines-asymmetric-warfare https://www.csis.org/analysis/how-ukraines-spider-web-operat... There is no "red line".

      that didn't cross the red line, and the US has a phone call to talk it over and that Russia's policy for using nukes hadnt been breached

        Red lines have been crossed repeatedly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lines_in_the_Russo-Ukrainian_war#Russian_red_lines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_lines_in_the_Russo-Ukraini...

      The red line attack on Russia's nuclear capabilities has to present a credible and deliberate threat to Russia's nuclear strike capacity. Operation spider web was attack on Russian airfields primarily to reduce capacity to bomb Ukraine. You can't nuke a country for hitting some nuclear strike capabilities you're using to conventionally bomb them.
