In the fairytale which also serves as a moral lesson, the boy who cried wolf wrongly so many times when the wolf showed up no one believed the boy....
The problem here is Russia is the boy, and Nukes are the wolf.
At the exact moment everyone is dismissing the threat out of hand is exactly when we need to be heeding the warning.
Russia has nothing to loose. NATO on their doorstep is an existential threat, and it's clear this is a NATO expansion that we are funding here - Russia is right about that.
Now is actually when - or the what - that will push Russia into using nukes if anything ever will. To be honest with the ending of the war after Hiroshima it's potentially in Russian best interests to use nukes to put an end to it. An
existential threat is just that.... existential and honestly should be treated like one.
I don't think Russia is going to bow the knee here... I wouldn't.
