Global Loop (click here) But, Putin is full of surprises. He irresponsibly entered into war without any prior plan for invasion. Never once has he consulted with others regarding his activities, so it is only best if others who are worried about Ukriane speak up to allow Putin to see how his agenda is not only ill conceived, but, dangerous for the entire planet. The radiation over the Pacific would contaminate the food chain.
A nuclear winter could occur over Russia with potential jet stream contamination for China, the Pacific and Alaska. There would be significant damage in Ukraine, but, the poison wouldn't stay in one place.
The world is looking at uncontained environmental radiation that would pollute water and air and begin an entire issue with cancers 20 years from the day of detonation. Not to mention birth defects.
This is the year 2022 where the world population, even with COVID deaths, is nearly 8 billion. China and India alone sequester 2 billion of that number. The idea Putin would release a nuclear weapon in a war that is he sorely losing is grossly incompetent. This, however, is typical of Putin's escalation technique in that when the early weapons don't work simply increase the size of the destruction by more and more deadly weapons.
Earth cannot sustain these explosions and the idea there would be contamination that would travel to countries not involved in this war is an outrage. The world of 2022 should be the year when ALL nuclear weapons are disarmed and the idea of ever using them filed into history. Don't think for one minute Putin cares about anything except his own agenda. He does not care if the world is contaminated, lord knows, Russia already is.
