"This is Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine, which is a blatant violation of international law," NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

"And according to international law, Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And it also includes strikes against legitimate military targets, Russian military targets outside of Ukraine. That's international law, and of course, Ukraine has the right to do that to defend itself."

Russia isn't going to chuck a nuclear hissy fit over losing in Ukraine, they'd put a bag over Putin's head before that happened.

Yeah people forget that nuclear powers lost wars in the past. Soviets in Afghanistan, USA in Vietnam to provide some examples. It's not like lost war triggers nukes and armageddon. They just called it a win or tactical retreat or whatever they could sell at home and moved on.

Putin is scared shitless to even get anywhere near his own people. He's not going to touch the red button. He's barely able to call the invasion a "war".

*given the opportunity.

It's quite clear the Russian populace is also being cleverly manipulated to maintain the situation.
