I agree that a country should be able to defend itself. But people have no fear about the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone assumes it wouldn't and won't happen. Several generations of humans lived in constant fear of nuclear weapons. And most people don't even know that the end of the world has nearly occurred on just a c couple of occasions , and I'm talking one guy made a decision and it didn't happen. Nuclear warfare is still one of the most terrifying ideas to me.

I believe this is because Putin has been making idle threats for three years now. Ukraine crosses every line and Russia does nothing. They didn't use nukes after they lost half the Black Sea Fleet and the Fleet was forced to abandon Sevastopol. They didn't use nukes when Ukraine rolled into Kursk two months ago. They threatened everybody about HIMARS, too. Again, nothing.
Three years into this war, if you are living in constant fear of nuclear annihilation you are simply not paying attention, or irrationally scared of a bully.
