    1. Putin has been making in a very reckless way nuclear threats. The proper response of the West is (as Biden is doing) to not answer in kind. Alas some prominent people think otherwise and are giving very bad advice.pic.twitter.com/ZiSnJUsENC

        2. The fact that Putin is reckless and not held in check by other Russian elites (as post-Stalin leaders have been) is a good reason to be more careful, not less. As I argue here:https://www.thenation.com/article/world/more-dangerous-cold-war/ …

        There's a way to handle this that's resolute without being reckless. Namely, saying "we have no intention of ever using nuclear weapons preemptively and we think Putin is smart enough not to do so either." You issue a warning without coming across like Jack D. Ripper.

        unfortunately NATO has never adopted a No First Use policy, under the theory that the West's only option to defeat the Soviet Union's more numerous conventional forces would be nukes. Now… we should adopt it.

        does that mean savre rattle back, or reiterate that use of nukes by Russia will result in use of nukes against Russia? because the latter is current policy isn't it?

        How long before they brush off the Clark for President placards and just cross out the 0 and put a 2 in its place?
