Would world war 3 erupt if putin nukes ukraine because it is advancing into Russia?

Question

RebelinSteel · Accepted Answer

Potentially, it depends if Putin responds when he loses his entire navy and a number of airbases and Kalingrad. At the start Putin was told if he uses chemical weapons or nuclear weapons then NATO will carry out limited but very heavy strikes against all Russian military forces. It will also (dramatic way to do it) exactly what a fuckwit he is, it is very much a conventional war. Also this may technically be article 4 of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) with Ukraine invading Russia as part of Putins 3 day war.

If ww3 just means nuclear war, then yes. If putin nukes, so nato will respond same but for that reason putin won't use nukes.

If ww3 means war around the world involved most countries on 2 sides, that is also impossible now that colonies are independent.

Nobody is under any obligation to nuke or even attack Russia if they nuke the Ukraine. And frankly what they have done to Ukraine's nuclear power plants are nearly as harmful as risking as nuclear weapons.

That said Putin has no need at all to use nuclear weapons against such a small force. It would only risk contaminating Russian soil.

As radical as Putin is, I don't think he's dumb enough to drop nukes on Ukraine. Even if he wanted to, his generals would stop him. If Ukraine were nuked, the city of Moscow would soon disappear.

He won't do that because that's overkill. Ukraine does not represent an existential threat to Russia. No matter how this war ends-up, Russia will still exist. The same cannot be said for Ukraine.

Putin has been told if he uses nukes then US will take him out. They know where his bunkers are. You can't have that some lunatic launch nukes around the world

Drewtate · Answer

No. Mutually assured destruction. NATO don't want that smoke. Russia can't nuke Ukraine because of its proximity to Russia.

We've been in WWIII since Feb of 2022. Putin is very leery of using nukes, as he really wants PEACE. But if the Heads of Russia remove Putin, we will swiftly head towards the END of WWIII, as nuclear bombs will destroy and kill just about EVERYTHING

jshm2 · Answer

Why the fuck would he want to nuke Ukraine? You think he's as bad as the USA or something?

DrPepper12 · Answer

Good question. If Trump's POTUS no. If Harris is POTUS still no but there would be a hell of a response from USA & EU & ASEAN. Lord knows what china, Pakistan & India would do - true wildcards there!

Avicenna · Answer

No, no country is going to risk hot warfare with nuclear-armed Russia over Ukraine.

MisterWack · Answer

Putin’s been threatening nuclear weapons for years, ain’t happening.

Lliam · Answer

The only way WWIII will start is if the U. S. or Israel uses nukes first.

Pohjolan · Answer

Pretty sure it would but irradiating the land they are trying to capture would kind of make the invasion a moot point. Chemical and biological weapons are more likely.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, NATO would respond and the US would be nuking the daylight out of them.

Massageman · Answer

Why would he want to do that? Compare the snippet of area that U took to the vast amounts that R has taken!!!

HM1189 · Answer

If Putin use nukes, it will be probably because he will ran out of army, men, equipment and/or options but he also knows that will brought even China against him

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Putin won't risk World War Three by nuking Ukraine. He'd lose too much when America got involved.

CaptainSmartass · Answer

Probably not. He knows that if he does, he's fucked. Simples...

It's not impossible, but very unlikely. It's much more likely to happen from Iran striking Israel.

Twalli · Answer

The mist likely cause of WW3 is what's happening in The Middle East
