Interesting article that talks about the similarities between now and 1938, and the sort of lessons we can learn from history.

This article advocates fighting Russia and not being a “coward”, but Germany didn’t have nuclear weapons in 38
Neither did we (that’s an inclusive “we” since literally nobody had them)
But more to the point, Russia isn’t going to nuke Ukraine— the whole reason Putin wants it is for both its strategic value and for its abundant resources. Using even tactical nukes would wipe out that value. It might even be enough for the Russian people (or his fellow oligarchs) to overthrow him.
Not to mention that it would trigger WWIII— they’re at a stalemate with Ukraine. Just imagine what would happen if they had to do a big boy fight with the US.
Edit: and, after his recent meeting with Xi, I’m curious as to how China would respond. Maybe not so much in Putin’ favor as he believes.
Pretty sure that would be the end of our species
Your right we should let countries with nuclear weapons do what they want and hope they aren’t malicious.
That’s not what I said.
