In Classical science, for every motion, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. It’s the Third Law of Motion, and there’s no lack of real-life example. In truth, it seems to be a basic feature of our apparent, everyday world.

Its social consequence is far less academic and much more Machiavellian: For every motion, there’s going to be a response — but it’s not always equal, nor is it similar. Occasionally, it’s not an eye for an eye, when you antagonize the wrong group, the value could be a really big pile of broken bones.
This makes sense: If politics was strictly based on proportionality, there’d not get any wars because nobody would ever rise. The earth would be a happier, more repetitive place!  ,
Quite obviously, that’s not , what’s going on.
In the complimentary industry, the guiding principle is caveat emptor: Let the buyer beware. The customer normally bears the cost of doing his due diligence and entering an arrangement with both eyes open. These, too, we encounter its democratic consequence: Caveat rex. Let the prince avoid!
The dictates of its officials determine whether an empire is won or lost. Tread properly, lest your country is vanquished.
This brings us to the lame-duck Biden-Harris management and its subsequent decision to allow Ukraine to flame long-range, American-supplied rockets at targets in uncontested Russian place. The decision’s schedule, which comes less than two weeks after Trump’s dominating victory, appears to have been intended to stifle the coming Republican administration, making disengagement much more difficult.

Russia, of course, is still a nuclear-armed energy. With Putin’s go-ahead, the Russian Bear had change our world into a terrible fire. And there is no way that his next action may be similar or equivalent! This game of political chicken is incredibly risky.
Now, we learned the Russian reaction to the Biden-Harris increase: Putin has just lowered the threshold for the implementation of nuclear weapons.
The Russian Federation reserves the right to employ nuclear arms in a conflict with conventional arms, according to a Kremlin official.
The spokesman also confirmed that Russian missile strikes, which were approved by Biden-Harris, “would be in line with the revised doctrine and was detonate Russia’s nuclear arsenal.”
I’d like to repeat that final stage, because it’s kinda-sorta-vaguely essential: Because of this unexpected Biden-Harris plan change, Russia has given notice that it reserves the right to answer ASAP with nuclear weapons.
The major media rarely covers the news, and this is the closest the universe has come to nuclear doomsday since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Obviously, there’s a probability Putin is bluffing. Dictators and dictators consistently play foul.

But there’s also a possibility he’s NOT lying. If that’s the case, human society would be literally destroyed if we misinterpret Putin.  ,
Unfortunately, I’m not being exponential.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is also raging. It’s unfamiliar which side will emerge. Well, the Russian army has fared horribly underwhelmingly, but if you follow Russian background, you’ll see that this is typical Russian conduct: the first year of almost all of their conflicts were disastrous displays of incompetence and incompetence!
But then they change their military officials and systematically target the issue, ending up with no one but the Russian government. That’s been the Russian standard for decades.
Like Stalin noted,” Quantity is a value of its own”.
The Russian people is about 145 million. Ukraine’s is about 34 million. Therefore, Ukraine must outnumber Mother Russia in terms of combating both domestically and internationally, and any conflict involving less than 11 or 12 dying Russians for every dead Ukrainian is a gross damage. It just does n’t have the population reserves of its opponent.
Probably, as long as Russia believes it may succeed, it will prevent using nukes. ( Hey, the most likely nuclear target would be somewhere in Ukraine, and there’s no point nuking what you’re eventually going to own. ) And with this big of a community imbalance, day is still on Russia’s side.  ,

Even if it takes another century. Or two.
However, Putin will use unconventional means if he decides he can no longer get using traditional means. It’d be ridiculous to suppose then: If you give Putin a decision between detonating a nuclear weapons or being deposed, jailed, and executed, he’ll almost surely choose the bomb.  ,
Rulers tend to err on the side of self-preservation.
So now the earth is teetering toward a nuclear disaster. We’re only one misinterpretation away — amidst a raging popular war in Europe, no less! — from the end of the world.
Is it really in the British people’s best interests to do this?
