And that is something that people need to disabuse themselves of. Even if the Russian military literally started setting innocent civilians on fire with gasoline each hour in the town square of every major city to try to get the Ukrainians to surrender, or started firing nerve gas into apartment buildings, or a hundred other horrific things they could theoretically do, there still likely wouldn't be a military answer from the West. That's a reality everyone needs to come to terms with if they haven't already.

If Russia were to nuke Kyiv, would that provoke a military response from Nato? What's the difference if they create the same results with conventional weapons?
I think it's time to start creating our own red lines and let Putin be the one to think very carefully if he wants to cross them.
