Yes. But survival dictates numbers. Not megalomaniacs. I know these type soldiers, follow orders. Yes that command goes through without question. No matter the odds. They do it with a smile, some wait for this. But will it.

Proable math. Puts a tactical nuke strike high. Especially on jets and long range missiles deploying and further conflict. Russia cannot be pushed back without a larger war occurring. If indeed they use them. No plans currently, but an increasing concern, and with rogues, and more entering. Very tricky position now. Retaliate with nukes becomes suicide. But those odds have to gauge will it go there regardless if not retaliation. Odds on use increases with use. What retaliation? If not nukes a bigger conflict can occur anyway as more enter. They will on any strike. So the talk is hard and the support harder. But math still holds it in restraint, and could on that kind of strike, even after occurrence. It is not Cuba, it is worse today in some ways, not much wiggle room, and it's a hot conflict, and still adjusting. But there are also other agendas and politics. Although like Cuba can yield, find ground, but when there are much wider geopolitics perhaps some things will break first. It isn't just Ukraine the factor. Nations arm, and others will, others seek agenda, others want stability.

However for this topic's imminent prediction, it takes math and it isn't near to it. Near as it's in a deciding postion, still posturing. But that posture isn't suicide. Never was. It's largely political and territorial. And still carving up gain and agenda. Suddenly if indeed, it isn't localised to Europe or the Americas either.

Fiction. It sells.
