If Russia decides to use nuclear weapons, @mehdirhasan asks: How should the U.S. respond? “We have a variety of responses that we could take…before you even get to whether there should be a nuclear response in kind,” @Cirincione says.

Putin hasn't threatened to use nuclear weapons, he's restated Russia's nuclear doctrine which has existed for years. The only Russian official who has threatened the use of nukes in Ukraine (Russia's Curtis LeMay) has been repudiated by Putin's spokesman tass.com/politics/1517001

The real question should be, why are even In this situation? Why not just declare Ukraine will not be considered for NATO membership. WTF good is it to have montnegro, Serbia, Albania in NATO. End the fuckibg war already. I don’t care to find out who has the biggest dick

Insane delusions. Especially the part about China walking away. And "we have cyber-weapons"? Oh, and Russia doesn't? Do they think they can just take out the entire Russian nuclear capability? If not, Russia might respond to any U.S. attack ("if we go down, they will too").

There would be a massive conventional bombing campaign unleashed against Russian forces within Ukraine ...and across the borders of Russia. Possibly such bombing would include targets in the Far East, Crimea, Syria and anywhere else there are Russian troops.

The US unleashed radioactive hell on Iraq, bombing it for years with depleted uranium munitions and missiles, each releasing radioactive material that killed 1000s immediately and 100s of 1000s later via cancers, diseases and horrid birth defects. How should the world respond?
