> I agree that sometimes it's better to loose a war. Just not this one.

If Ukraine can stand up (which I'd hope, but don't really believe) and Putin thinks the same way you think he will use nuclear weapons. And he has said clearly that he thinks the current Ukraine is a threat to the survial of Russia. Which is of course nonsense, but that doesn't matter.

The better support Ukraine gets the closer we are moving to a nuclear war. I'm not sure to say don't support them. But don't underestimate the danger of Putin.

If Putin throws nukes in Europe then the radioactive fallout will reach border countries including russia. And it could provoke a nuclear reaction from NATO, because nuclear fallout over NATO states could be considered as attack.

Sure. But I am not convinced that Putin cares.

As said in many places, Putin will go to history the worst aggressor in Europe since Hitler already. He might have committed economic suicide for Russia already. So don't be so sure he doesn't extend the suicide any further.

If Putin already has decided to end the world in a nuclear war, then there's not much that we can do about it.

But if Putin would be seen as a brutal murderer by many russians, then chance are that there are some who could try to assassinate him, like there were many assassination attempts to Hitler.
