Stop downplaying the importance of this, dudes.
- No, it's not a 'nuke'
- Yes, each of these individually (there were 6 groups of this) are designed to be equipped with one
- No, Ukraine doesn't have the capability to shoot that down
- Yes, it's an escalation
- No, it didn't do a lot of damage
- Yes, it was a message
- No, nuclear war isn't tomorrow (IMO)
- Yes, nuclear war is a threat that got closer
- No, I don't think it deters NATO (overall)
- Yes, I think it should warrant a re-evaluation of NATO end-goals (this should be regularly occurring anyway)
- No, I don't think Ukraine should stop fighting if they don't want to (would you?)
Downplaying the importance of the message from Russia is naive. Allowing Russia to willy-nilly continue to escalate while the world cowers in carefully crafted fear also can't happen.
