What's up with nuclear war fear mongering in western Europe?
Because it's a genuine threat. I'd be willing to agree that the chances of a nuclear attack from Russia is small, but it's definitely not nil. A couple of weeks before the invasion I snapped at someone in the news thread (can't remember who), who speculated that the threats of an invasion was just a charade. But that definitely happened.
A short time ago Putin lived in a reality where invading Ukraine would absolutely work out. Likewise, he may quite possibly still exist in a reality where sending a nuclear missile towards a NATO country could work out in his favour.

What's up with nuclear war fear mongering in western Europe? My friend from Sweden is basically shitting her pants but Sweden is as irrelevant to Russia just as is the UK.
Nuclear weapon is just a deterrent and it works like a charm for Putin.
