There's rumours that Russia is readying a RS26 missile at this very moment in retaliation.

If they actually do this, the war will go nuclear.

It would be an absolutely retarded move on their part, but so far nothing I've seen makes me believe they wouldn't simply be that stupid.

We better pray for a Petrov 2.0 but I doubt the world would be that lucky twice...

This would be the end of Russia really fast, Putin included. I don't think they are stupid or suicidal on that level. And they have threatened to go nuclear for years now, there's little reason to believe that this time is any different. And ultimately it also doesn't change anything, we can't let Russia bully us with their nuclear threats. Because there will never be an end and if they could conquer the world with nuclear threats they would do so. So let them prepare their missle and have nuclear drills. And send more long range missiles (looking at you Taurus).

What a load of bullshit. Do you get off trying to scare people like a putin sabre rattle wW3 !! or why are you inventing stupid things like this?

I doubt Putin will press the red button. Even Xi Jinping gets irritated whenever Putin threatens with nuclear weapons and tells him to stop with the obvious bluff.

Using nukes even against Ukraine will literally piss everyone off. It will make Russia even more pariah.
