    "I'm very worried about Putin's nuclear threats which is why I'm advocating brinksmanship" is, to be honest, not a coherent position.https://twitter.com/McFaul/status/1501785341933592582 …

    So you think Putin will launch a nuclear war because Poland sends MiG29s to Ukraine? Dont get me wrong, I am very worried about Putin's nuclear threats. Im just not convinced that weapons to Ukraine would be a trigger: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/03/03/how-biden-should-respond-to-putin-nuclear-threats/ … https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/1501779550619025408 …

        I'm a bit shocked at how cavalier people, including people who have held positions of high office, are about nuclear war. It's a bit unsettling.

        It is coherent though. He’s willing to trade off what he judges to be an infinitesimal larger chance of triggering a nuclear exchange for the benefits of improving Ukraine’s military position, saving civilians, etc.

        I can't believe how many people have decided that any action leads to NUCLEAR WAR!!! Get a grip.

        His nuclear threats are designed to paralyze the West. He cannot afford to escalate the war. If he's "crazy", then we'll have to confront him eventually... when he's in a stronger position.

        if he's really "crazy", what difference would it make, he'd launch the nukes any day.

        Turkey is selling those TB2s to Ukraine... I haven't seen Putin escalate with Turkey.

        Here is the thing I don’t get: why are Javelins, which murder scores of Russians daily, inside the bounds of acceptable risk, but planes are akin to caressing the Big Red Button? I get the caution, but we’re currently giving Ukraine murder tools. So who are we fooling?

        Antitank and antiaircraft weapons are considered defensive. Tanks and aircraft are considered offensive. Granted, you can break someone's neck with the edge of a shield, but a sword is designed to do it.
