Comment on Why did Pootin threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons, but then stopped doing so?
Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 10 months agoYep. Mutually Assured Destruction.
Some countries will use the threat of nuclear war to get what they want. But what they want often involves still being alive afterwards. Putin, like the rest of the leaders of countries with nuclear arms, knows that a nuclear strike demands a nuclear response. There is no other option and unfortunately the whole world suffers as a result.

Although I don’t think pootin cares about his people and wont care if they get killed.

He should at the very least care about the oligarchs in the country who are reliant on the Russian people to build and maintain their wealth. There’s no wealth without people.
