@davidaugust

since the Russian attack seems to be whatever wherever they can get away with, talking about any Ukraine used weapon as a specific threat is meaningless

@davidaugust oh Vladimir, go fist yourself until you spit out your knuckles, you pasty brained bully.

"'Any aircraft is actually nuclear weapons capable,' U.S. Air Force Weapons School alumnus and former F-16 pilot Christopher Stewart said in comments last year to The Kyiv Post, where Stewart also serves as an editor. 'A blimp, dirigible, zeppelin or hot air balloon is nuclear weapons capable.'"

@davidaugust This sounds like the old military chestnuts "Everything is air-droppable at least once" and "Everything is amphibious if you can get it back out of the water." 😉

@mark yeah. Seems to be if you can lash a nuke to it, it is a nuclear capable threat.

For those worried #Putin will use #nuclearweapons:

You're correct. He may

Problem is, if we give into his threats, that means #nuke threats work

So he'll threaten more

And every autocratic sh**bag will copy the strategy

Also, more states will get #nukes because of what happened to #Ukraine who gave up there's

Result:

Lot more nukes, lot more threats to use nukes, greater chance of being #nuked

Therefore we have to ignore Putin's threats
