Many people feel we're closer to the use of a nuclear bomb than at any point since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Putin might decide to use a low yield bomb to break a stalemate in some part of Ukraine, or after warning NATO to stop sending military aid, or to make sure the world knows he has no limits.
In all probability, it would be a very low yield nuke, something like 300 tons to one kiloton.
That would destroy a couple city blocks, kill a few hundred to a few thousand, and communicate a geopolitical message.
Maybe Putin issues the ultimatum: not one more piece of military equipment shall be sent to Ukraine.
But should he use a nuke of any size, it's hard to see how NATO then doesn't commit to destroying Russia's C&C, or maybe boots on the ground in Ukraine.
Anyhow, if the war continues for a few more weeks and Russia fails to make much headway, I can see escalation to tactical nukes, and maybe strategic nukes.
How does that make you feel? Personally, I find it relaxing. It makes me feel like I can stop worrying and stop regretting. Stop living in the past and stop getting all twisted up about still trying to find my way to a future I want.
I can just chill. If nuclear war is coming, if the norms of today will soon be shattered, then I can rest. Yes, rest a failure. But rest with my dog beside me. Feeling our love. And that then becomes enough.
