Proposals had been made to change Russia's nuclear doctrine to allow for attacking any non-nuclear state that had the participation or support of a nuclear state, Putin said.
That’s precisely the reason to avoid a nuclear holocaust instead of rushing into it. Anybody who has a death wish can just off themselves without involving the rest of humanity.
Realistically, if Putin uses the nuclear codes, this is what happens:
A few warheads in Russia explode in their silos and the government blames the West. A bunch of other warheads are harmlessly shot down. A few actually find their targets and a few million people are wiped out. The west retaliates and suddenly the war is over.
BICS then becomes ascendant in global power, China claims Taiwan and the Philippines and possibly Japan, and Israel is wiped off the face of the earth as all sides turn it into a nuclear slag pile, killing Israelis, Palestinians and a large number of Lebanese and Syrians in the bargain.
Then things adjust to the new normal and economies rebuild, with the noted absence of Russia and Belarus.
I grew up in the cold war. I’ve done the drills. I know both what the fear of an all-out nuclear holocaust is, and I know that the reality will be something entirely different.
Did you not see what happened to Russia’s latest Satan II ICBM? Thankfully that one wasn’t armed.
No, you don’t know that the reality will be different. This is something that has never happened before, and only a certifiably insane person would try and downplay the horror of a nuclear war.

Do you know how many missiles Russia has, even if a tenth of them go off we’re all fucked. And frankly, people who don’t care about dying can just kill themselves any time they want. What fucking right do you have to gamble with billions of lives of other people?
You’re gonna feel so smug and righteous when you’re dying in the nuclear holocaust.
If I die, he dies.
MAD spares no one.

That’s a good line to use on Putin.

I have to ask, do you genuinely not understand what a nuclear war between US and Russia would entail?

The one doing the gambling is Russia. No one but Russia is responsible for Russia invading its neighbors.
You can repeat that till you’re blue in the face, but it’s going to be little consolation when the nuclear holocaust starts.
Oh no, less monthly tributes to my landed lord! The bosses from my 3 part time jobs won’t be able to exploit me anymore! Damn, so much to live for…
Seriously, life just ain’t worth the squeeze of the shackles around my hands, feet and neck. Pull the trigger so I don’t have to.
come see me and I’ll help you on your way to your permanent rest. better you than my loved ones or millions.
Caving to the Moscow regime’s nuclear threats now will only make nuclear confrontation inevitable.
I see somebody doesn’t understand the concept of MAD. 🤦
Sure that’s it. Anyone on the internet who disagrees with you must be stupid. You’re just the smartest person in the whole world. Good for you.
Yeah that’s literally it, you said some dumb shit and now you’re acting like a child when called out on it.
