This.

People on this forum who are sympathetic to Russia and hostile to Ukraine like to accentuate the negatives, but it's kind of obvious that Western support of Ukraine has been successful.

Yes. I stand by what I stated. I'll repeat it.
Putin has been doing that since the invasion began. Its nuclear blackmail.

I accept if you don't agree but would appreciate if you backed up your argument.


There never was an ultimatum

He needs a chimichanga with guacamole and sour cream. Putin won't be hangry anymore after that.

What happens if he goes out with a public announcement and says; "If we register any more help coming in to Ukraine from the US and/or NATO, we will retaliate against those countries responsible as if they were Ukraine's allies and our enemies. This involves the use of nuclear weapons if we find it necessary."

What would the world do then?

Bonus question: What would be the wisest thing to do?


There's decades of precedent in not attacking countries that intercede in regional wars. Korean War, Vietnam War, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Russia would be suicidal to make such a warning, because the assistance wouldn't stop. They would have to either act on their threat or lose any credibility for the future.

Probably nothing. Isn't the first time, I think
