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.

Fear is the greatest weapon. You can keep sanctioning them, but you’ll never get anywhere.

Give nukes to Ukraine, even pretend ones and war will end in minutes.

Imagine an enraged man ready to punch an aggressor in the face being held back by his friends.

You propose to walk up to him, have him released and give him a loaded gun.

The world would blame you, not the wound up man itching for revenge.
