But who cares if Putin escalates. He already is all-in to the tilt. If he had more he would deploy it.

The only thing left would be nuking. He hasn't dared and likely won't.

He has dared. Empty threats? Maybe... but that's quite the gamble to make.

On the contrary: Should Putin risk everything for some sq km of Ukrainian soil?


I think he already answered that question long ago.


By not using nuclear weapons?
