    Well, test them on ukrainian soil first, so that russians know that the stakes have risen.

    If you lop em over there without warning they’d have “no choice” other then to completely nuke ukraine in retaliation.

      That’s actually not too crazy of an idea. A large part of land is mined and basically unusable for a long while and modern nukes are way less and way shorter radioactive. Blasting away a large part of Russian soldiers at once would send a big message.

        just out of curiosity, would a nuke blow up most of the mines? like 90% or more?

        maybe it’s hard to know, but this is just a thought experiment
