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.

Putin is old enough to remember the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, when their side actually tried this and had to back down.
