Some interesting quotes in here:

This is Putin's playbook: make as many threats as you can, in order to win negotiations. Whether or not those threats a re at all real, doesn't matter.


To those thinking Putin will simply hit the button because he is a madman - it simply doesn't work like that.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better (as long as Putin is in power), but I think fears of a nuclear MAD scenario remains extremely unlikely.
Since noone is afraid of Putin's army anymore, the only threat he can make is nukes. Most will dismiss it as postering, but many thought that excersize on Ukrainian border was postering too.
