Long Range Missiles in Russia by Ukraine?

I don't understand why we in the west are remotely afraid of Putin. He can't defeat Ukraine, which has demonstrated he would have zero chance of taking on Nato. Yes he has nuclear weapons but so does the west and even someone as mad as Putin will not start a nuclear conflict that would result in mutual destruction. Let the Ukrainians use weapons however they want. When the Germans bombed London we retaliated similarly. I do think that a few more missiles closer to Moscow might persuade the Russian people to get rid of Putin.

I tend to agree with you. What idiot would attack any opponent who also possess nuclear weapons? No matter what you think of Putin, and I don’t think a great deal, he’s not an idiot. Self centred, a bully, a liar, no thought for his own soldiers, yes, but not an idiot.
