    Or Russia decides eating a nuke isn’t worth it because they know what launching a nuke from Russia would mean.

      Very possible, but putins crazy.

      I don’t know how Ukraine would convince Russia the threat is real without at least a test detonation somewhere and that’s better than bombing someone, but also not ideal.

        Yeah, that’s true, but it was always going to be a tight line to walk to get out from under a Russian invasion without going the Afghanistan route.
