    He didn't mean he would use nukes, just that war between two nuclear armed countries necessarily escalates to nuclear war. If you asked Biden, he would say the same thing. Which is why it's so irresponsible for the West to be arming Ukraine like they have been, tempting fate

      I don’t know, I guess reading between the lines it sounds like he would use them but I’m more than willing to be wrong. Then again I’m the type who doesn’t want to poke the bear, unlike NATO it seems. I think being in a NATO country also increases the anxiety around nuclear retaliation. We don’t have nukes but what’s truly stopping them from being dropped here? I’m not a fan of our leaders putting our lives on the line knowing they have bunkers to hide in…
