You would think some statesmen and former generals would issue a letter informing people of the consequences of this game. People like Jimmy Carter(who is probably still more mentally alert than Biden). But nope. Is everyone that cowardly? The neocons are playing russian roulette with humanity. I doubt this would go nuclear, but would people be willing to play russian roulette with their children's lives? Because if they keep pushing into the Donbass that is probably roughly the odds this thing goes nuclear.

The Neocons might be thinking that if the Russians did use tactical nukes, that would be their gotcha moment and it would turn world opinion and even Russian opinion against Putin overnight. Playing a game of nuclear footsies is not something sane competent people do, and the neocons are neither sane nor competent, as they showed in Iraq, and as they showed with their nordstream 2 sabotage and their repeated shelling of a nuclear power plant in Ukraine. These people are dangerously stupid and evil.
