So if Russia blows up a Ukrainian nuclear power plant, will there still be no

[ColinC]

Intervention? At what point do the costs of non intervention become greater than intervening? Will a nuclear attack on Ukraine still not be enough to intervene?

[dchill]

1. We're about to find out.

[ColinC]

2. Yeah.

[msongs]

3. russians could stop the attack, ukrainians could withdraw. either way may

eliminate the threat

[Budi]

5. Yes. This ⬆️

4. The Chernobyl disaster brought down the USSR

might bring down Putin

9. No the communistic gov being unsustainable brought it down

Communism does not work for countries, maybe state level but not countries.

6. The decades long problem

How do you militarily engage another nuclear power?

This situation would normally be handled by getting a third, non-nuclear country to engage them. Not sure what country would be able to do that in this situation without spurring Putin into using his nuclear threat to engage with them.

7. Excuse my snark here

but THE RULE BOOK must be obeyed per 'the boys'. Fer Chrissakes. Coupla military type guys on MSNBC earlier today having a war discussion. If I heard the word "RULE" once I heard it 7 times. Now, if they would just come out and say fear of nukes by putin that would be one thing - but NO. So now that we are getting closer to frying our collective ovaries/testicles what may those conversations sound like? Burn me if you must.

8. It's becoming increasingly dire. And my biggest fear is that the longer we hold off, the worse

whatever impending world war is coming, will be.

10. I can't imagine this was in pooties plans. Talk about ruining a perfectly good invasion

Radiation sickness will cripple his forces, not just Ukrainians
