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.
Actually world wars didn't exactly start with obligations, so I don't think this point is that valid
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
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
Why the fuck would he want to nuke Ukraine? You think he's as bad as the USA or something?
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!
No, no country is going to risk hot warfare with nuclear-armed Russia over Ukraine.
Putin’s been threatening nuclear weapons for years, ain’t happening.
The only way WWIII will start is if the U. S. or Israel uses nukes first.
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.
unless they just want a nice buffer zone and that would ensure there'd be no nato there for a while...
@lightbulb27
You think a nuked Ukraine would be less willing to take up a offer to join NATO?
They are in this conflict in the first place because they gave up their nukes.
Yes, NATO would respond and the US would be nuking the daylight out of them.
Why would he want to do that? Compare the snippet of area that U took to the vast amounts that R has taken!!!
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
Putin won't risk World War Three by nuking Ukraine. He'd lose too much when America got involved.
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.
The mist likely cause of WW3 is what's happening in The Middle East
Don't think so, but it would certainly set a dangerous precedent.
you should add a maybe option
No, not at all.
They won't nuke anything.
