There is no any Russian-Ukrainian war. There is a proxy war between Russia and NATO, and, therefore, the nuclear deterrence takes the central part in this game. The only reason why United Europe didn't directly invaded Russia (as it was in 1941, 1914, 1853, 1812, 1788 and many times more) - is Russian nuclear weapons and determiness to use them if necessary. Russia has the opportunity to use nukes, survive nuclear exchange, win the war, and then - prevail in the post-WWIII world order (while the price may be significant). That's why NATO can't be too provocative. And that's exactly why they will be beaten in Ukraine. Russia can send brigades in Ukraine and NATO can't. That's why Russia'a victory is inevitable.For me, you Russians are the same here. You all post the same garbage over and over again for all the time I have been here. The only thing what changes is pictures on users' avatars. So, I call you all 'Yuri', to make things easier. Remembering all of you is too complicated for me, you know. So, for me you will be Yuri.
I am not interested in all these nuclear things, except of obvious 'national' reasons, because I think the odds of them coming is quite low. There are a number of reasons of that, though I don't want to mention them there so not to start other meaningless discussions here. It can't be ruled out completely, that's right, but it is definitely not worth of endless threads about that.
For me, a push of a Russian brigade somewhere near Volchansk is far more important and having a far greater impact on the Russian-Ukraine war that all that nuclear babbling.
