The only risk of Putin using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine is if he & his minions are sure there will be no response. Every Russian sub commander should know they will be eliminated instantly should they fire one.
"Bisogna sconfiggerlo militarmente in Ucraina. Finché Putin resterà al Cremlino la pace non ci sarà. O andiamo verso il futuro con la sconfitta del peggior dittatore oppure vedremo un'ulteriore ascesa del totalitarismo in tutto il mondo"

Just so everybody knows: the statement that "if it blows up, it will be 10 times larger than Chornobyl", is absolute nonsense.
This is a bad situation because it is an attack on a nuclear plant with people in it, not because it can "blow up" and be "larger than Chornobyl".
Been thinking about how to help those in Ukraine - both @chesser_22 and @ben_finegold are pushing for a charity day and I'm in. I'm calling on the wider chess community to come forward to help. Hoping to do this on March 1 - first day back in Florida - 12 hour stream planned!
I will repeat that Putin does not care at all what happens to Russia or Russians and he never has. He thinks about staying in power today and tomorrow. That's it. You can never say a dictator has miscalculated as long as he's still the dictator.
Western leaders do not know how to fight. They are so eager to get back to talking, the only thing they do know, that they just want the fighting to be over quickly, to disappear the Ukrainian courage and news headlines that shame them.
Good to see a ray of light from my old corner of the world. My appreciation to @MagnusCarlsen for being a champion of more than chess. Outside the 64 squares is life, death, and honor. https://t.co/BuJJTaJ1G6
Ok, after years of warnings were ignored and hearing "Garry, you were right!" all damn day today, I'll repeat what I said in 2014: Stop telling me I was right and listen to what I'm saying now. My recommendations follow: 1/5
non entro mai su twitter e le poche volte in cui lo faccio mi ricordo perché: è il social con gli utenti più avvelenati, critici, offensivi e intolleranti che abbia mai visto
letteralmente entro due secondi per cercare foto del vestito di vittoria ceretti e trovo solo tweet giudicanti e offensivi fate pena vi aggrappereste a tutto pur di criticare gli altri per sentirvi meglio
