  1. Not an option

  2. Simple respond in kind

  3. Nuking Kyiv would only guarantee a war with the West due the amount of Western diplomats present The West would likely respond with combination of the first two The West has been reluctant to supply Ukraine with longer range weapons, if Putin did nuke Ukraine, the West will likely respond by supplying with long range weapons exceeding 150 miles with no restriction meaning that Russian territory is now fair game The military response from the West would be strategically wiping out all Russian forces in Black Sea and Ukraine using conventional weapons Ironically 10 USAF bombers with EA-18Gs and F-22 would carry it out The B-1 can carry up 24 LRASM or JASSM while the B-52 can carry 20 JASSM As the Black Sea fleet is not large and only 2 bases 1 Bomber each as well 1 more for Crimean bases , the remaining 7 would have over 130 missiles for targets in Ukraine, Donetsk and Luthansk Putin's problem is even if nuked Ukraine, the West conventional response would prevent him from capitalizing on it The West can't and won't negotiate. The world stood by and made quote "unpleasant compromises" and Germany damn near conquered Europe twice They stood by and Japan conquered the Pacific No one is willingly to simply stand by and wait for shit to spill over to their doorstep Putin's reason for Ukraine is 100 bullshit by negotiating, you are validating his reasons What happens when he makes moves on other countries for the some made up reason They can't take that risk

  4. Putin's threat are ultimately nuclear blackmail. I am invading this country just because I feel like it and if you try and stop me, I will use nukes The options for the US are not that The factor that you are missing is that nukes are tactical weapons for large targets so where exactly will he or how can he use them Nuking Kyiv would only guarantee a war with the West due the amount of Western diplomats present The West would likely respond with combination of the first two The West has been reluctant to supply Ukraine with longer range weapons, if Putin did nuke Ukraine, the West will likely respond by supplying with long range weapons exceeding 150 miles with no restriction meaning that Russian territory is now fair game The military response from the West would be strategic strike on Russian forces in Black Sea and Ukraine As Black Sea Fleet on has a limited number of surface combatant one B-1 with 24 LRASMs would easily put the Black Sea Fleet out of commission , second B-1 with 24 JASSM would eliminate Black Sea Fleet bases With 3rd attacking Crimea bases 4 B-52 with 20 JASSM for 100 missiles would attack targets in Ukraine, Donetsk and Luthansk The US response would be to completely wipe all Russian forces in Ukraine in one strike Using just 8 to 10 bombers with LRASM and JASSM , its very easy to do
