OK, this deserves some attention:

[quote]The Biden Administration is reportedly considering
changing the long-standing U.S. nuclear declaratory policy of
calculated ambiguity to one of “no first use” (NFU) or “sole
purpose.” Under an NFU or sole-purpose policy, the United States
would pledge never to use nuclear weapons first in a conflict,
including in response to chemical, biological, cyber, or massive
conventional attacks.
In a spring 2020 Foreign Affairs article, then-presidential
candidate Joe Biden expressed his support for sole purpose and
said that he would “work to put that belief into practice, in
consultation with the U.S. military and U.S. allies.”
Many believe this change would carry real risk, including the
erosion of deterrence against adversary aggression and reduction
of allies’ confidence in extended U.S. deterrence commitments.
Through the years, a large number of senior officials and allies
have voiced their opposition to NFU or sole purpose.[/quote]
I agree with our enemies' opposition to NFU, because we will
need to nuke Israel and Turandom (V4+).
If I were advising Biden, I would propose a modified NFU that
applies only to former fellow victims of Western colonialism.
This would both fulfill the intended purpose of reassuring these
countries that the US will not nuke them, while leaving the US
open to nuking Western countries as necessary. (Refer to first
post in this topic.)

[quote]France says Putin needs to understand NATO has nuclear
weapons
PARIS (Reuters) -France's foreign minister said that Russian
President Vladimir Putin, when making threats about using
nuclear weapons, needs to understand that NATO, too, is a
nuclear alliance[/quote]
But will NATO use its nukes?
[quote]but he ruled out NATO-led military intervention to defend
Ukraine.[/quote]
If you won't use them, it is no different than not having them.
And Putin understands that too.
[quote]Asked whether Europe and NATO could continue to rule out
a military response despite the presence of Russian soldiers in
Ukraine and Putin's threat of nuclear apocalypse, Le Drian said
sanctions will be more efficient.[/quote]
Then why doesn't the headline say, "France says Putin needs to
understand that NATO has sanctions"? Please stop the
bullshitting FFS.....

Putin may NOT be a survivalist as all the NATO member states and
their leader's obviously are....
The only way a survivalist can survive a militarist is by the
survivalist killing the militarist first. But never forget that
it is the survivalist that fears death, not the militarist whose
only goal is fulfilling their mission at all costs.

According to the folks at TLDR News EU, at a 1% chance of
nuclear war there will be nuclear war within 89 years. At the 5%
chance of nuclear war that we are estimated to be currently at,
we have 14 years until there is a nuclear war.

"Well, we were going to fire off a test nuclear missile, but I
guess we'll wait now since you decided to threaten the entire
world with nuclear war.". :D
Fine example of how ridiculous nukes actually are and why they
should never have been invented in the first place!
U.S. delays ICBM test-launch in bid to de-escalate Russia
nuclear tensions
[quote]WASHINGTON, March 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on
Wednesday it will postpone a scheduled test launch of a
Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, in a bid to
lower soaring tensions after Russia announced it was putting its
nuclear forces on high alert.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's weekend announcement on the
heightened alert posture fanned fears that Russia's invasion of
Ukraine could lead to nuclear escalation, with some European
officials seeing it as veiled threat to the West.[/quote]

"Blackmail" is the wrong word. Blackmail refers to the victim
having done something in the past that they want to keep secret,
and the blackmailer threatening to publicize what they have done
if the victim does not comply with the blackmailer's
instructions.
What Putin is doing here does not involve skeletons in our
closet at risk of exposure. This is straightforward hostage
situation where Putin is pointing a gun at our heads and
threatening to pull the trigger if we move against him.
The ridiculous thing is, NATO also has guns, so there is no
technical reason why Russia should have an advantage over NATO.
The problem is that NATO values Russian lives more than Russia
values NATO lives, and Putin knows this. This is why Putin
thinks he can get away with anything. In order to stop Putin,
NATO must learn to view Russian lives the same way Hitler did.

'He's in a corner': Expert breaks down Putin's nuclear threats
[quote]Western countries have rejected President Volodymyr
Zelensky's call for a no-fly zone over Ukraine due to concerns
about provoking a more direct confrontation with Russian forces,
especially after President Vladimir Putin's threat to resort to
nuclear weapons. CNN's Nina dos Santos has more on how the West
is analyzing those threats.
