The constant Russian interference, combined with the regular escalation from the jets patrolling, and the radar jamming, really needs to be dealt with.

We're stuck between having to do timid actions and full NATO escalation. This feels like constant creep.

> Maybe a strategic nuke on Kaliningrad if any provocation happens.

Surely you must be joking about a first-strike nuclear provocation or larger. I would think almost anything other than a border incursion could be dealt with in other ways.

Should Putin be held more accountable for his actions? Absolutely, but a nuclear response is not going to go well unless absolutely justified.

You are replying to a Russian bot, most likely.

Interesting twist…

I chose “provocation” because thats what russians often use (and call for nuking west pretty much every day for decades now).

> and call for nuking west

The number one most noticeable English mistake Russians tend to make is dropping articles all the time...

Number two is calling for nukes, anywhere by anybody. Nobody else brings that to the conversation.
