@thetimes Upon reading and talking with people more expert than myself, however, it really does seem that a nuclear weapon is more politically powerful BEFORE it is used than afterward. The thought of it is very scary. But if ever fired, what has Putin accomplished for himself? — PolitiTweet.org

@thetimes ... that speculation seems secondary to thinking about the issues raised by the report itself. Putin regime has a long and bad habit of making nuclear threats. The latest threat has been issued via Elon Musk, either out of his own brain or - more likely -after talks w Russians. — PolitiTweet.org

@thetimes Option 1 Detonate in the upper air or in Black Sea Option 1 reminds us that Russia has weapons. But we knew that. It also communicates that a) Russia is losing and needs rescue by Western diplomacy from its loss; b) that Putin still feels inhibitions about outright nuclear use — PolitiTweet.org
