Ukrainians Call for THAAD Air Defenses Amid Reported Russian ICBM Strike - Newsweek

We have the new game changer

Russia seems more keen on deploying short and medium range tactical missile launchers near Ukraine to send a message, but they can never use them for tactical nukes without a crushing Western retaliation.

I love this Redditor logic

Russia uses nukes -> NATO attacks a country that uses nukes and have enough nukes to destroy the world as goal to defeat that country -> Russian won't use nuke against nato because nato will defeat Russia.

The reality is this

And now the west cope by saying if Russia nukes Ukraine it will become isolated.

You can your self but Russia is isolated

So absolutely nothing will happen if Ukraine gets nuked.

But THAAD is just new excuse why Ukraine is not winning. US doesn't have that many THAAD's just like US doesn't have enough patriots and giving to Ukraine straight from factory. So THAAD missiles will burn a lot faster that patriots one without replacement so there is no way US will give those to Ukraine. That Russia orechnik has 36 missiles so THAAD will need to use 36+ missile and each cost 12+ million so 432+ millions to shot an 8 million missile (probably cheaper without nuke charges)
