Seriously tho, where is the line? If US doesn't physically intervene on Ukraine, when does it intervene? Sounds like the argument is that as long as nukes are on the table, you can't have a physical confrontation? Is physical worse than economic? What's this mean for Taiwan?

Sounds like the line is NATO countries. I can accept that. I've heard people say the line is just any physical confrontation, which didn't make sense. So, we are willing to risk nukes if a NATO country is attacked, and we're willing to risk nukes as retaliation for sanctions.

I have been asking myself the same question about Taiwan. If they use military force to defend Taiwan against Chinese aggression they will have a potential nuclear conflict on their hands. I have a feeling that when it comes down to it they will back away.

At some point, yes. I'm trying to understand the US position on this. Is it that Russia can take the whole world and we only push back when troops land on US soil? Or, is there some other tipping point where we say that we are willing to risk nukes to push back?
