  1. It's very important for Ukraine to feel the Putin is bluffing. Ukraine knows that the US will not risk a nuke in DC over Ukraine. But if Ukrainian soldiers feel Putin will use nukes, they will walk away from the battle field and Putin will have won without actually using nukes. But if Putin is really about to lose I think he will. The neocon strategy is to wear Russia down militarily while the sanctions destroy Russia's economy. But it really looks like Europe will collapse long before Russia collapses. So Putin will likely not use nukes in the near term. Putin absolutely needs China's help. Energy sale to China has jumped and critical supplies such as semi-conductors have been pouring into Russia from China. Energy sales to India have exploded as well. The next war (economic one) is with China. And China would like Europe to suffer so Europe will not join the US in an economic war against China. The US bombing of NS-1 /2 will help in that regard. The US strategy of keeping the war going to eventually bleed Russia dry is turning into China and Russia's strategy to bleed Europe dry by keeping the war going.
