A recurring theme throughout the war is Russian threats of nuclear weapons use. This video examines how the United States would respond to such an action. Ultimately, such an outcome is unlikely. However, the reason it is unlikely is because of the wide menu of options that Washington has available, and that Russia would be made worse off by choosing to go down one of these routes.

1. There is no way to "prevent" the Russians from using a nuclear weapon, only to hope to deter it with warnings & threats.

at his contact point on YouTube. Let us know how it goes.
