Justification, justification, justification!
So why can’t Russia too justify to end the war in Ukraine by nuking couple of places in Ukraine?
I am not saying Russia should, but if they must, would you then say, “yeah, it is justifiable because it would save thousand of lives on both sides because Russia does not have the stomach to lose 100,000 of it’s soldiers, so it make sense to kill countless on the other sides with couple of nukes to bring the war to an end”!
Don’t you see how ridiculous your argument sounds, that one was justifiable and the would not be!
But guess what, a precedence was set with Japan getting nuked for what was claimed to be a justifiable act, because the side which made it justifiable was the side also won the war. So, Russia would too justify it’s actions should they nuke Ukraine and win the war, no?
Ruzzia can do what it wants. But there will be no justification for it either legally or morally. Ruzzia is the aggressor and breaking international laws left and right.
And, they are taking the biggest gamble ever over Ruzzia's existence. Sorry, but I'm not going to argue over whether they will or not. It's possible they will. But then it's also possible that's the end of Ruzzia. Personally, I think it's a remote possibility but still a possibility.
For me it's neither here nor there. What is at stake is the UN Charter and peace and stability of the entire planet and especially Europe.
Ukraine and collective west have no choice. Ukraine must and will be liberated, tactical nukes or not.
Making threats is nothing new for Pootin. If Ukraine is nuked, then in my opinion, NATO has no choice but to go all in with boots on the ground.
No I don't see your point at all. Nuking Hiroshima is no different to carpet bombing Dresden. Body counts were similar. That is how WW2 was fought. Ruzzia is still in that mindset mind you, whereas the collective west do it differently these days.

In the meantime it's good to learn what Berlusconi (definitely pro Russian) said just a week ago about the war in Ukraine.

You see Paphitis, you are making excuses to the collective West in their justification for nuking Japan twice, a civilian targets each time no less, because it would save lives of the allied forces had the war continued, and if the aim is to end the war by nuking the opposition, then surely under your own reasoning in using nukes can be justified, then surely Russia using nukes in Ukraine would also end the war and saving thousands of lives from both sides, no?
The west isn't required to justify anything. The response from the west has already been justified and it is just a response to an illegal invasion of a sovereign country and member of the United Nations.
The west has not invaded anyone, or acted illegally.
The collective west sees the invasion of Ukraine as no different to the invasion of Poland by Hitler, and it is an event which will either create dire consequences for the globe. In any event, threats of Nuclear War are completely meaningless. The western military doctrine when dealing with dangerous tyrants like pootin, is that the west makes a stand in Ukraine, to prevent future disasters for Poland, Moldova, Finland, and the Baltics. Ukraine now is the defence line for Europe at large. So now we are in a game of poker. And the collective west and NATO are calling to see Pootin's hand. If worse comes to worse, Russia will be gambling with the existence of Ruzzia at large.
For the last 20 years, the West has given Pootin the benefit of doubt. But now, those days are over.

Let me ask you a question. Why did they nuke Japan, and not Germany which was the root of the problem? I 'd bet you don't know.

They lost that right by the minute they changed their constitution to become Nato members, an existential threat to Russia who actually made them a "State". Nobody in Ukraine is fighting for their Country. They are fighting for territory that was never theirs on the first place. All eastern Ukraine was and still is predominantly Russian, inhabited by Russian natives for centuries. Not only Russian, but Greek Russians as well, Sevastoupol, Melitoupol, Odessa, Marioupol were all Greek Russian cities. When exactly was Odessa ever Ukrainian FCS??
What the Ukrainians WERE doing is actually genocide against the Russian speakers on the East for the whole purpose of stealing their lands. They never wanted them and they were forcing them to leave and go to Russia. Donbas was once the richest places in Ukraine, a real the power in wealth. What it ended up within 30 years is very clear. All old people with GDP close (if not below) average.
That's what the Ukranians are "fighting" right now. To steal territory that was never theirs. They don't give a shit for the people of that territory. That's why they were always using them as human shield all these months placing their tanks and artillery in residential areas next to schools, theaters, hospitals etc.
And that's why they shell bus stops, streets, squares everything purely civilian you can imagine in Donesk today. Plus of course the never ending shelling of the ZnuclearPP...
