. Still, it should be noted that there is no threat of mutually assured destruction in Ukraine at all - even the most insane NATO hawks seem to be limiting their rhetoric to "ensuring consequences" if Putin uses nukes, rather than threatening nuclear retaliation.

Chernobyl didn't happen in the West, yet every country was still demanding to know what happen (which the USSR did eventually fold on it).

If they use Nukes in Ukraine, which could trigger radiation clouds or even blow up another Nuclear plant, of course other nuclear powers are going to do something.

It's all fake posturing. Russia has 25 million soldiers they could even call up if they wanted, going straight for WMD's is admitting that they have nothing left.

Putin doesn't want to hand all the power to the military, which is what would likely happen in the case of a full mobilitization. Look at the dynamics of the communist revolution.
