Russia has practiced delivering a retaliatory nuclear strike

[xpert11]

The irony is that Russia's behavior on the world stage continues to justify NATO.

Putin bet his house of cards on the war in Ukraine and restoring the Russian Empire. Will Putin's ambitions test if Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) still holds weight? The answer to that question lies in Ukraine's war outcome and Putin's subsequent moves.

If MAD fails, WW3, with or without a limited nuclear exchange, is highly likely.
