EDIT: For clarification, I feel that the current situation on the ground in the war (vs. say a year ago) might indicate that an attack on Russia might not result in instant nuclear war, which is what prompted my question. I am well aware of the “instant nuclear Armageddon” opinion.

Serious question. I don’t need to be called stupid. I realize nuclear war is bad. Thanks!

      They would drop tactical nukes on NATO forces.

      Yeah maybe. I was operating under the prevailing idea in this thread that NATO would steamroll through Russia. It’s not something I necessarily agree with.

      It’s never going to happen anyways.

      Well, quite. This is all just a thought experiment, no one thinks it could happen. NATO is a purely defensive alliance.
