  1. I was taken aback at the statement that it was hard to think of Russian non-nuclear escalatory options, I can think of several offhand: Depressed-trajectory Kalibr strikes from the Black Sea Kilo-class subs. Blockade of Odessa sea traffic with said submarines. Risking some strategic assets (TU-22 and -160) using ALCM of whatever necessary range on missions such as interdiction of Western supplies, a large strike on a major city assessed to be less protected than Kyiv, or port/ canal facilities. “Escalate to de-escalate” is part of their doctrine, I would presume that applies to non-nuclear options even more than to nuclear weapons.
