      "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.

          There are a lot of steps between 15,000 pound lz clearing bombs and nuclear war. He's already stepped up to thermobaric and cluster. We know he's got a lot of chemical and biological weapons, probably smallpox. Then field nukes.

          He probably would have been part of a Hilary Clinton Administration in National Security so it's probably very personal for him.

          It's not cavalier. It's pragmatic. Realistic. You think it's not an eventuality regardless? That's quaint.

          Can you imagine this guy was the US Ambassador to Russia and considered a leading Russia scholar? Perfect representative of the US foreign policy establishment.

          Come on. He’s not being cavalier. He’s making a risk-benefit assessment based on years of experience. If you take Putin‘s nuclear threats at face value we’d being doing nothing. Which is exactly what he wants.

          I mean, we're not, specifically, worried about one Nuke (one Nuke against a military base, or whatever, isn't all that different from a big group of sorties). We're worried that most scenarios involve one from begetting hundreds.
