It won't happen unless a really major atrocity is done or believed to. AFAIK all countries having nukes need multiple operators to launch. It's still mutual destruction, no one will make the first move, the only willing move is not to play. (in the 80s, movie AI knew this)
>It won't happen unless a really major atrocity is done or believed to.
No, you don't trigger the apocalypse because of atrocities in a regional conflict, it's completely off the table
But then it completely depends on the objective; is "nuclear armageddon" the objective here? This is something that must be considered, because NATO powers crossed the red line with russia, and they knew, every single geopolitical observer knew, that NATO was crossing the line/breaking the status quo, everybody knew this wouldn't fly with russia
But they did anyway
So it begs questions
My opinion is that the US/UK/Anglos want to start a hot war in europe between russia and the rest
