  1. I think the message from the west needs to be a lot tougher on Putin, it's all well and good Putin sabre-rattling but the west should make it crystal clear to Putin that if a nuke is used in Ukraine or any NATO member, there will be a return ticket to Moscow or other major Russian cities. Make it crystal clear that this kind of behaver is unacceptable and that there could be a major cost if he goes ahead with it. Putin needs to accept it, the west isn't going to back down on this one and for a number of reasons, if the west backed down, that could escalate wars in the future by showing weakness, China will see it and see the west does have limits and could get ideas on Taiwan, basically, the west can't afford to back down on this, otherwise Putin won't stop with just Ukraine and others around the world will get ideas of land grabs themselves. The biggest mistake Putin did with this war is to threaten the European energy market, which destabilized energy prices and pushed inflation high around the world, that moment made sure there was no turning back for the Europeans and the world at large, if it wasn't for that, there might have been a chance of the west backing down, but that bridge is well and truly crossed. The only way out for Putin I see is either he steps down, yes it will be humiliating for him but at least he will still have his life, the alternative is that he's going to dig his own grave because what usually happens with dictators that go crazy, their own people or inner circle kills them, that's how I think it will go if Putin keeps trying to escalate the war, after all, he might be bat crazy but I suspect a lot of Russians are not and we've already seen with Putin trying to mobilize the Russian population how that can backfire, in other words, the closer and more personal it gets to the people, the more of a threat it becomes to Putin and a nuclear war would be very personal, being as major Russian cites would be a primary target. So do yourself a favour Putin, dig your own grave, put yourself in there and do the world a massive favour before you drag your country to the brink of destruction because it must be clear to Putin by now, the west isn't going to back down on this until Ukraine regains all its land back.
