No I don’t, honestly. Yes the threat is real, but that’s why countries have them, the threat. He knows just as well that if he ever used one Russia would be destroyed by them. If there is any upside to nuclear weapons it’s mutual assured destruction.
When we say things like “there’s going to be nuclear holocaust”, or “WWIII will start if the west does that” we are helping Putin win by believing and capitulating to his threats.
