      I don’t think Putin will attack Poland or anyone in NATO, nor do I think he will use nukes as long as he doesn’t risk losing everything.

      But we should always assume that he will use nukes if he gets desperate.

        No we shouldn’t. We can think that’s a possibility, but assuming that he will is simply bad policy.

        Also, he can’t simply “press the red button” because he gets upset.
